I work in a factory and while most of the time we go to break on time daily sometimes things go wrong and we will go early so if i eat at a different time it’s kind of out of my hands, but the best advice i’d have would be top take it stride.

Hi! I am not sure why they keep asking me to give advice because I do not follow the very reasonable timetables or recommendations that they suggest. I am quite old and have physical issues, whjch often occur with age. However, I can only suggest what I do. I spent most of my life not eating breakfast. I am never hungry and I don’t like to eat early. What I do is I always drink water from a thermos on my nighttable. I have always done this because if I get out of bed, Then I don’t see my medication on the table , as well. It is important that I take the meds. So I drink my water as the 1st thing I do in the morning. I am limited on what I can eat and what is usually thought of as a "great" breakfast is not my norm. Around 10 A.M., I take one, sometimes two, slices of 12 grain bread. I know it sounds to healthy to be good but, I love the taste and the crunch of the seeds. A personal thing. Then I put a slice of cheese and tomato on the bread, have a small Activia yoghurt with fruit and cereal, an apple and my water thermos. What will change is what I make instead of the cheese and tomato. Sometimes, I use a little cream cheese and an unsweetened jam, or peanut butter and unsweetened jam. Sometimes in the morning, Rarely, I enjoy cold Special K cereal with berries in it, instead of the bread and jam. If I am feeling that I want it, I might make an omelet with some cheddar cheese! You might have some other things that are easy to do. If you like hot cereal, then, if time is an issue, you can put the ingredients in a small pot the night before and put it in the fridge over night. I love oatmeal, but it takes a while to cook in the morning. Buy having it pre-soaked, it take only the short time to warm it up. To sweeten it, I use the unsweetened jam. No matter, the biggest thing It eat in the morning, I start with the yoghurt, bread and whatever, and the water! I don’t take juice because fruit, vegetable and protein are very limited in my diet, for medical reasons. For example, I am allowed only "5" OUNCES of protein/day! I eat the apple as a snack at sometime during the day. Sometimes in the morning, afternoon or night. I hope that I gave you some ideas and that is a help to you. Meanwhile enjoy The Fabulous, it is one of the best ideas that I have ever come across. I just wish the technology and the Fabulous were available 60-65 years ago! Be Well, Be Happy and Have a lot of Laughter in you life. BYE BYE.

Start over tomorrow! Everyone makes mistakes and/or has unexpected changes. That’s just life! It’s all good, don’t blame yourself.

I try not to worry about it and just make sure I dont miss the next day. Dont beat yourself up about it. Be determined to try again instead!

Just stick with your plan! Don’t change the entire plan just because you did mess up with something it wasn’t in your control. Keep going like you did all correctly and don’t overthink too much how you didn’t complete that specific goal in the morning or any other goal in your plan!

Try to eat a healthy alternative as soon as possible. The earlier you eat the better. You don’t want to be heavy when you go to sleep. Try to stick with the schedule the next day.

I think it’s best to take your time getting back into your routine. You can get busy sometimes and it’s hard to think about your routine when you are really busy or are in a rush. So I think you should take a deep breath and slow down for a bit. Make sure to plan everything accordingly beforehand and then execute it to the best of your abilities.

Non succede mai ma a volte saltare la colazione mi fa sentire più energetica che farla. A volte ho una tale nausea al mattino che non posso farea altrimenti.

I often mess up my breakfast timings because I really struggle to get up at a specific time if I dont have a reason to be up. When I do mess up I always make sure I still follow my routine and try to get up the next day at the right time. No matter what I always drink a glass if water and go have my breakfast. Dont be too hard on yourself. It’s okay to not get everything right.

There’s no such thing as messing up with timing as far as I’m concerned. While you might have breakfast scheduled for 7 a.m., sometimes life happens. As long as I stay committed to eating a healthy breakfast and eat before I’m so famished I forget that, then I feel I’m on course whether it’s 7 or 7:30 or 8:30.
