How Eggs-actly am I supposed to eat this?!

I'm trying to find some new recipes for my morning requirement of eggs.  It's been less than two weeks on the new nutrition plan and I am SO sick of them.  I'm not an egg fan to begin with as the texture has always triggered my gag reflex.  Some days I can handle them, some days I can't handle them at all.  I'm trying to brainstorm a few ideas to try to make my morning breakfast more appealing. What I should be eating in the mornings (according to the nutrition plan prescribed for me): 1 whole egg 1/2 c. egg whites 1 slice of Sprouted Grain Bread Reasons I should be eating this:

So, as always, it's resolution time .  January first could be defined as the biggest Monday of the year: time to start with new goals, and purge the bad habits .  My goals aren't all that new.  Same goals, different strategy. I had a life goal to be in the best shape of my life for my 30th birthday.  That goal was not reached....at all....not even close.  I accidentally forgot to try...... So I developed a new goal to be in the best shape of my life for my 30s and I'm on my way.  When say "on my way", what I really mean is that I'm
