What's your weekday morning regimen?

[cantdrv55]

What time do you rise?
Do you exercise?
What do you eat?
Do you check work emails?
What time do you leave for work?

I am up by 7am
If I exercise, it will be at night
Oatmeal and veggie sausages from Trader Joe's
I have to do work emails or I'd get buried
When I have to travel, I am out the door by 9am

I'd like to incorporate morning exercise but I'd probably have to get up at 5:30.

[biosurfer1]

I get up at 5.
Shower and ready to go by 6. (too much traffic if I wait any longer)
Get to my desk around 6:30 and usually have oatmeal/bagel etc while I go through emails
Exercise in the evening except Friday and Sunday when I have indoor soccer.

Rinse and repeat

I am jealous of men. To get beautified, it takes me an extra hour. When I can work from home, in my jammies or whatever else I feel like working in, it takes all that prep time away. My long mane takes at least 15 minutes to dry, WITH a blow dryer.

[Slider79SC]

When the wife is traveling.

Up at 4am.
30 min on the Elliptical or C2 rower - 16 oz. water with BCAA's and Glutamine mixed in
Shower quick afterwards
Let the puppies out of their Kennels
8 egg whites - 3/4 cup oats - 1 tbsp. Almond butter
Play with the pups for 45 minutes or so
Pack lunch in lunch box (prepped night before)
Leave around 5:30 for work

Work till 2:30, home by 3:15.
Train around 5pm

I love mornings.

I do travel more than I'd like. Woke up in Newark, NJ yesterday at a Courtyard Marriott adjacent to Newark Airport, took the train to NYC.

I don't know how people live in cities.

Hourly reports start at 7. Give safety meeting, share info, pass out job assignments and instruct on expecations.

After that it gets a bit boring and repetitious until 5:30 when I leave to go home (on a good day).

We need an hour of beauty time too. Per month.

Up at 5:10, take a shower and other bathroom activities. I usually have breakfast cereal with milk, but sometimes will fix toast or have a danish. I throw a few logs in the woodburner (if Winter), and am out the door by 6:00 or 6:15 to be at work around 6:30. I check emails at work, usually I travel to our other plant to pick up parts for my prototype lab, and are coming home at 3:00

Crank up the pute. Pour coffee. Feed cat.
