Hurdle #1

Breakfast.

Not my favorite meal of the day. My window for breakfast in the morning is between 6 and 6:30 am. I'm never hungry that early in the day, therefore I never eat breakfast. Actually, the only breakfast I eat is when Daniel and I go "out to breakfast" on the weekend and that meal is usually full of pancakes and bacon (or the bacon cheddar waffle!) and it occurs at 10 or 10:30.

So, begrudgingly I need to start eating breakfast.... "the most important meal of the day"...bla bla bla.

Maybe oatmeal. I'm not a huge fan because I usually only eat it when I'm sick and therefore it has a pretty negative image in my mind. I know I need protein, but it's not like I'm going to eat eggs every morning. I don't even know how I'll find the time. Maybe I can bring it with me and take the first 10 minutes of my workday to scarf down some oatmeal. I've had to start getting up early to exercise the crazy dog, and so the thought of getting up even earlier to have breakfast doesn't make me very happy. Maybe it doesn't have to be a great breakfast right away - maybe just getting my body to be hungry so early is a good place to start?

Something good: Fasting blood sugar (162) was much better than yesterday.
