In our first corner, we have: Power Breakfast!

Brown rice cakes, spread with a little peanut butter, plus an apple and a nice full bottle of water! Nutritionists would be proud!
And in the other corner, we have….the Healthy Diet Underminer!

Also known as Tenderhearts, or “my favorite candy in the whole world which I discovered at a store across the street from our office for 75% off so obviously I had to buy all they had left which ended up being, um, kind of a lot.”
Let’s go down to the ring for the blow by blow:
Power breakfast opens strong with a one-two punch, reminding pseudo that she is on a health kick, and that by eating fiber and protein first thing in the morning she will feel full all the way until lunch!
Tenderhearts counters with a cheap, but effective sucker punch, appealing to pseudo’s sweet tooth: “but we’re deeeliciousssss. And you don’t want us to go stale, do you?”
Power breakfast breaks back in with a quick jab: “with as many preservatives as you’ve got in there, you won’t be going stale for MONTHS.”
Tenderhearts takes that one on the chin, and asks, with puppy dog eyes: “why do you hate us? we loooooove you!”
Power breakfast continues the attack with a stiff uppercut: “you’ll regret it if you let them win! Fight the good fight! Being healthy means striving to make healthy choices every day!”
Just when it looks like it’s down for the count, Tenderhearts roars back with a stunning hook! “Have we mentioned we taste like cherries? Cherries are fruit. Eating us is like eating fruit for breakfast! Who can criticize you for wanting to eat FRUIT? Fruit is healthy! You’re doing the healthy thing here!”
I think we all know where this is going:

Round 1: TENDERHEARTS! (And the crowd goes wild!)
So what does it say about me that I had a bowl of Maple Brown Sugar oatmeal with blueberries and a dollop of Jif mixed with, along with a banana and a glass of OJ for breakfast if I happened to proceed it with a M&M chocolate chip cookie?
(Thanks for the dating advice, by the way.)
Proceed = precede
I’m on vacation – apparently, my brain has turned to mush.
Dude, I TOTALLY would have gone with both.
Think those tenderhearts will make it through the week? If so, I’m quite certain I’d like a taste on Saturday. =)
Hee hee! Awesome storytelling! And, there will be plenty of days for the Power Breakfast. The Tenderhearts are for a special occasion, like Tuesday mornings! It is only Tuesday once a week, for Pete’s sake. You must acknowledge it.
Oooh, yeah that was a tough one. And I totally agree with Tess and would have eaten both.
(Now I have a craving for an apple with peanut butter. Mmmmmm)
i, uh, probably would have eaten ONLY the tenderhearts. i’ve heard about something called “willpower” but i’ve never experienced it first hand.
