Effective Breakfasts

I downloaded this pretty cool workbook from the Create As Folk site, entitled "Roadmap to Action" and I can honestly say it really makes you look at things differently.

The workbook is meant as a guide to assist you in organizing your thoughts around a business idea, however there is a portion of it that I find is very helpful in assisting me on almost a daily basis.   A portion of the workbook asked you to write down what makes you more effective on a daily basis, and you then compare it to what makes you ineffective on a daily basis.  It's one thing when you apply this to a small business, but when I apply this to my personal life, it kinda looks like this......

Yesterday was a hairy day.  I skipped breakfast, had way too much coffee, grabbed a HUGE stupid carb-heavy lunch at 1130am and literally fell asleep at my desk at 130pm in the afternoon.  I grabbed another coffee to recharge, and when I left the office at the end of the day I swear I could of had another nap.  For like at least a half hour.

And a day last week, which was much better.  I had a proper breakfast (cheerios with bananas and milk), a decent amount of coffee, and healthy lunch only consisting of a handful of carbs  (chicken salad on a spinish wrap with tons of veggies) but lots of protein and I feel freakin fantastic all day.

So can someone please tell what the hell makes me be so fucking lazy in the mornings that I skip breakfast almost daily, and almost intentionally?  Am I doing this to give myself an excuse to totally pig out at lunch time?  Am I punishing myself on purpose subconsciously?  WTF!!!  It's not like I don't have time to make myself breakfast, shit i'm typing this at 630am on a freakin Wednesday and i've been up for an hour already.  Ask me what i've eaten today so far?  NOTHING!!!  But i'm on my second coffee.  Coffee rules yo. 

OBVIOUSLY WHEN I EAT PROPERLY I FEEL BETTER AND PERFORM BETTER IN MY DAILY TASKS SO WHY AM I CONSTANTLY SABOTAGING MYSELF EVERY DAY BY NOT HAVE BREAKFAST THUS LEADING TO A DAY FILLED WITH BAD CARBS AND CAT-NAPS.

SOMEBODY?  ANYBODY?  Seriously this is a million dollar question.
