What are your routine/s to start the day?

Get some fish, they are low maintenance but of course you can't snuggle with them 

The dogs need to go out before anything else happens, then I make coffee or pour a cup if it's already made. Then the dogs are dancing around to tell me they are starving, so I feed them. I rarely eat before lunch. My stomach just says 'Nope'.

I love Kate that you take care of your babies first thing.  Thankfully I can open the door and let them out. Thanks for sharing!!!

Up and out of bed, bathroom stop, make travel mug of tea for the husband, make sure the Keurig is on.

Next, get the dog and cat food measured then let the dogs out to pee. Fill their bowls and let them back in.

Pack hubby's lunch and get his oatmeal ready(I don't have to, but I want to)

Dogs out again to poop, then feed the kitty. Make coffee #1, let the dogs back in, turn on the Today show and enjoy the 1st of many mugs of coffee.

Breakfast around 9:30ish, leftover meat from dinner or some style of egg. Out with the dogs several times during the day.

Taking care of everyone first Pat!  They are lucky to have you. I feel bad I didn't mention my babies....  I let them out and give them fresh water and they eat when they are hungry so the bowl is always full.  I take care of them HONEST!  

Wake up at 5am, jump out of bed & go to my bedroom window to see what the weather is doing, never know here what the weather is doing!  I then immediately go pee, get undressed and step on the scale.  Then jump in the shower (hubby also gets up at 5am and takes the dog out for their business & feeds them). I get out of the shower and brush teeth, put make up on, put patches on, get dressed, head downstairs to the kitchen, make a 16oz coffee, throw my breakfast/lunch/snacks in my backpack that was made the night before and then get my boots & coat on, give the dogs a cookie & a snuggle and give hubby a big hug & kiss and head out the door to go to my commuter train to work. I get to work at 7am and have another 16oz coffee X 2 so I usually eat my tuna & peppers with balsamic around 10am.  Then more coffee, then Lunch around 1pm.  

Its not very thrilling but it works!!!

Hi Daisydoo02, you forgot the most IMPORTANT thing you do in the AM!  You post your eating thread on the RNY forum and keep us all in line. Thank you for all you do

You are right, I totally forgot about the menu post! Its so much a part of my routine how did I forget it!  Thanks for the reminder and your kinds words!!

Mrs. LittleBillJr is first up, as she works in town.  I stay out of her way for my own safety until she is down the stairs.  She puts the dog out, lets him back in and feeds him, and leaves.  I go downstairs, put him back out again, make half a pot of coffee, and drink it all.  Then comes breakfast, various chores around the house, and then I am up into the shop.  Sometimes I am out the door for errands.  Once I am out of bed and the dog is tended to, the day can go in all sorts of directions, so no two days are ever the same.  

Hi LittleBillJr,

What do you eat for breakfast?
