Your Daily Routine

I'm retired from the job scene for the past 7 years so my routine is pretty much ...
wake up whenever my eyes open or nature's siren calls
do whatever strikes my fancy whenever it hits
cook something when hunger strikes and eat it while recording in my food diary on MFP
Sleep when I am tired
hmm... think I need to get a routine again.1 -
I work from home, so here's mine:
4am: wake up, spend the next hour drinking a couple cups of coffee.
5:30 - 7,7:30amish: gym
7:45 - 8:30: shower, coffee, etc.
9amish - 4 or 5pmish: "work"
5:30 or 6pmish: husband gets home from his work, and we eat din
6pm-7:30pm: little t.v. watching/decompressing
7:30-9pm: reading in bed/playing on ipad in bed
Ta Da!2 -
Wake up somewhere between 7:30 and 9:30 depending.
Hour over coffee and breakfast and stuff, hit the gym, usually about 90 minutes there (20-30 mins cardio, then varied strength). Grocery store is right across the street so I can hit that often in the week as needed.
Come home, feed chickens and goats, work between 11-12 and 6. Will have lunch 1:30-2:30 depending.
If it's a skate night, eat decent sized meal 5ish. Put animals to bed and leave to go skate 6-7 depending, get home usually midnight and shower and bed as quick as possible, usually not before 1.30am (I drive an hour each way and practice is 2-3 hours).
If not skating, snack at 5ish and will either swim or run, or just a long walk if I'm feeling beat and eat around 8-9 and get to sleep around midnight if poss.

♫ When you wake up in the mornin' and the light is hurtin' your head
The first thing ya do, when ya get up outta bed
Is hit them streets a runnin' and try to beat the masses
Go get yourself some cheap sunglasses ♫

And then fit in fitness time! What's wrong with your husbands? Mine cooks half the week and shares grocery shopping too, so I can have gym time.
If I left if up to my husband to go to the grocery store and cook, our pantry would be filled with Twinkies and chips, our fridge would be void of any fruit or veggies, and we'd eat Beanie Weenies and tacos every night.
LoL same here! I had to train him for sure, and usually when he cooks it's with meal kits, but last night he totally shocked me by printing a fish recipe off the internet, running out to pick up the ingredients, and then cooking it from scratch while I was at Zumba. And it turned out delish. But seriously, when Cosmo says you can have it all I don't think they meant 24/7 indentured servitude on top of a full time job.1 -

An 830 bedtime for the kids sounds like heaven!
haha - it's a necessity in my house! They need their sleep for my sanity, lol. Plus, mine are still young. 9 and 6.1 -
I'm just curious as to how you all fit fitness and health into your day, along with all the other demanding things that needs to be done. Nothing too personal, just share a basic overview of your day.
Here's mine:
5:45a-6:15a - get my 2 year old ready for daycare
6:15a-7:15a - coffee, free hour that needs to be filled
7:15 - 8:40a - get myself and 9 yr old ready for day, pack lunch, etc.
8:40a- 6:30p my work day.. commutes etc
6:30 - 7:30 pm quick errands, greet family, eat dinner
7:30 -10pm .. 2 1/2 hours of inconsistency and no substance
10pm .. kids bedtime
10pm - until... me time if I'm not exhausted.
I'm interested to know what other people are doing in those time slots I have no set routine. Thanks!

It depends on the day. On MWF (fitness days):
8:00am - Get up to have breakfast
9:00am - Carpool with others going to gym
10:20am - Warm-up by walking from one end of the gym to the other and back (takes 5 minutes)
10:30am - Exercise using the gym equipment
11:45am - Go to a center for treatments (4 hours long)
6:00pm - Very late lunch
11:00pm - Late dinner
3:00am - Bedtime
Every other day:
9:00am - Breakfast
11:00am - Housework (only time I get to do this)
4:30pm - Lunch time
6:00pm - Work time (fairly physical so counting this as exercise since I have my activity level set to sedentary)
11:00pm - 1 mile walk from work to home
11:30pm - Late dinner
3:00am - Bedtime0 -
9am- feed baby then bring him to dad, go back to sleep.
11am- wake up, take baby and toddler, cuddle, play (dad already fed toddler.)
12pm-1pm - break fast, house work, feed daughter lunch

10:30-11- daughter is finally in bed sleeping, put baby to bed.
11:30-1 - yoga/ some alone time with hubs.
1am until 9am - wake up every 1.5-3 hours to feed and change baby (2 months, isn't going longer than 3 hours in a row, if I'm lucky rn.)
We have more of a flexible schedule then set. Hubs is on parental leave until May so I'm able to get a lot done during the day/ each day is different but this is more or less how it is. I don't always nap either but god damn, I do love those 2 total hours of having the bed to myself, best beileve I am in the middle.0 -

I get two buses each way for work at the moment which takes ages. I can't carry my work things and work out gear and by the time I get home can't face it anyway. Once I get a new car I plan on joining the gym near work so I can go for half hour after work. At the moment all I manage is to walk to further bus stops if I have time!
At the moment:
6:20am leave for the bus stop
6:30pm get home and have a cuppa
7 ish - dinner, clean up, pack lunch for following day
Maybe a little tv
Read/relax in bed from 9 til 10 and then hopefully sleep Before 11.
I'm working on my sleep routine for now. Been prescribed tablets which run out in a few days and I'm hoping they'll have kick started me back to a normal person schedule which should see my energy levels rise to be able to face exercise!0 -
4:30 up shower eat breakfast make lunch dress.
5:30 leave for work
6am to 1pm run my butt off at work.

Totally worn out. Can't exercise. Plus I am 65.
Can't wait to retire.0 -

3:00 to 5:30/6:00: Working my part-time job (from home, blessedly).
5:30-6:30 (MWF): Shower, blowdry hair, start coffee, dress / 6:00-6:30 TR: Start coffee, style hair, dress.
6:30-7:30ish: Watch my son get ready for school, both of us do some morning chores, I have coffee/breakfast/social media time (kiddo eats at school), leave for my full-time job.
7:45ish: Arrive at work; pretty much just do that until noon.
12:00: Head home for lunch, usually leftovers or a salad/sandwich combo. Sometimes fast food. Run the dishwasher or start laundry while home.
1:00: Back at the office to finish out my day.
5:00: Leave work, run errands -- grocery store about three times a week, drop things off at the post office, whatever. (Unless it's Tuesday or Friday; then I work my third job and the rest of this schedule gets pushed back an hour to ninety minutes.)
6:00ish: Home for the evening. Spend a little time with the kiddo, check his homework, etc.
6:30ish: Start cooking dinner. Watch some TV or play a game once everything is well underway.
7:00-7:15ish: Dinner with my son. Sometimes we watch a show as we eat, most times not. We load the dishwasher/clean the counters right after eating. Kid goes outside to play for a while.
8:00ish: I work my part-time job some more, usually, or do admin stuff for my third job. Whichever it is, I'm usually done by 11:00 or so (my son goes to bed at 9:00 and I say goodnight, but he's old enough that I don't have to stop for tucking in).
11:00ish: I start trying to fall asleep -- change into PJs, wash my face/brush my teeth, and lay down with a book.
1:00ish: I actually fall asleep, on a good night.
As you can see, I am not at all great at fitting exercise in. I try to go trail walking whenever I can, but I try to catch up on housework and work my two spare jobs on the weekends too, so it's just... not great.0
