    Wake up 7am (pre-Covid it was 6)
    Drink 16oz glass of water
    Take the dogs into the back yard
    By 7:30 I’m in the basement with BeachBody on demand and I’m exercising. Right now I’m doing 21 day fix extreme real time. Finished day 19 yesterday.
    30-60 minutes of exercise. Then additional stretching and/or foam rolling
    Then shower and get dressed
    Then breakfast

    I’ve tried eating before workout, but found I didn’t have enough time in the morning to digest somewhat before exercising.

    Occasionally, on the weekend, I’ll get up later, have breakfast and an hour later do my workout. I do find these workouts I have more stamina.

    During corona and working from home it’s been great!

    5:55 AM - wake up (this gives me 5 min to groggily check my phone and get up) and put on workout clothes.
    6:00 AM - feed the dog and take her for a quick walk/pee
    6:15/20 AM - start a 30-45 min work out
    6:50 AM - log that workout in MFP and scroll
    7:00 AM - hop in the shower (if it’s a hair wash day it’ll take longer) and get ready (I still get dressed and do some makeup because it make me feel ready)
    7:45 AM - make breakfast and quick tidy of dishes
    8:15 AM - commute to my dinning room for the workday

    M-F schedule:
    Wake up at 4 am.
    Bathroom.
    Scale.
    Pre-workout.
    Get dressed.
    Bathroom (pre-workout always makes me after to pee :D )
    Workout.
    Shower and get dressed for work.
    Pack lunch.
    Leave for work.
    And somewhere in all that I give my youngest kitty some cuddle time, it's whenever he demands it. LOL.

    Weekend schedule is kind of the same, with the exception of waking up at 4 and having to pack my lunch. I ALWAYS workout in the morning, and I like to do it fasted.

    I wake up when my daughter comes in my room first thing in the morning. I take my time: brush teeth and hair, drink water, take vitamins, make her breakfast and my own (for after the workout), get dressed. Then I do 30 minutes of SOMETHING -- usually stationary bike, weights, step aerobics, or dance.
