Oh I am so hungry

I am a big breakfast eater and today is not a good day. I have fasting lab, but not until 9. This is the annual where my cholesterol and other lipids will be checked and that has to be with no food.
I get up at 5 a.m.
My image was online. It is a breakfast buffet. That is not helping the torture one bit. I love big breakfasts. I may make one for lunch today.
I will take some home made yogurt and fruit to eat once the appointment is over. I guess this is a warning that I will not be here a lot this morning.
We had rain last week, so I will start mowing this week again. It is the life cycle of the lawn.
I hope your week is starting off well. I will be here later in the day.

I had a headache and got kind of weepy. Today is much better. I hope Tony's test went okay.

I am a big breakfaster eater too. When I can. I am lucky if I get breakfast most days. I don't cook and don't go downstairs so I miss out on meals at times. Got a few things done that I needed to do so I feel good about the start of the week.

I would have to keep something in my room then for those occasions. Missing breakfast cuts down on my productivity.

@celticeagle There are some people I hate to visit as it takes until noon to have breakfast.

I still ate lightly as I was away from home. We had an early evening meal that was nice, though.

No it isn't. It is good to keep up with our health, though.

I packed a protein snack and a small can of juice in my purse to have as soon as I was done.

I'm not much of a breakfast eater... a cup of tea and my meds, maybe some fruit or a couple potato chips will do me until later in the morning, when I'll have another cup of tea and a snack.

That pretty well describes my husband. I do not like him to put meds, even vitamins, on an empty stomach, though.

Hubby only eats a light breakfast on work days, but I have to fix it. So he had fruit and yogurt.

@GardenGerty My doctor suggested not to have coffee before tests, at most a light tea, that I dislike so I prefer to have nothing.

I finished my day yesterday eating well. I fixed some steak I had thawed and there was enough for hubby to pack for lunch as well.

You will survive no breakfast today to have a big one tomorrow.

Actually, I did make a pretty good breakfast this morning. I am sure I have enough fat to live a long time without food.

You have a very good metabolism then. I think that happens a lot with men.

My turn will be next week, when I will have to fast for my blood test and see how cholesterol is. Unfortunately, my cholesterol was always high since I was a kid and this is no fun in life.
The good thing is that I am not a great breakfast eater, so fasting for me will be easier. But I can understand you when you like to have breakfast and you can't do it because of fasting. In my case, I love to have dinner and I try not to so I won't be stuffed to sleep, but this is the cross I have to carry and I try and avoid dinner as much as I can.

I am hoping my cholesterol report is good. Wish you luck on yours. Because I am diabetic I should eat meals on a regular schedule. I am supposed to have a snack before bedtime.

@GardenGerty Understood! I have one case of severe diabetes in the family and she is also facing so many restrictions in her feeding process. That is sad!

Actually I ate light. Test results are okay. Hubby and I ate out that evening, I believe. We actually eat out way too much.

That is why I made a nice supper for my husband and I to enjoy.
