06h30 - Breakfast Snack
07h00 - 10h30 Work (I work from home)
10h30 - Mid morning snack
11h00 - 12h30 - Gym
13h00 - Lunch
13h30 - Bath
14h00 - 15h30 Sleep
15h30 - Mid Afternoon Snack
16h00 - 18h00 - Work
18h30 - Supper
21h00 - Bed

    It can be pretty hard to get into it. But I mix and match my workouts often.

    Workout days are Mon, Tues, Thurs, Friday:
    6am - Wake up, a bit of lazing around, coffee, then jump into the workout for the day.
    By 8am I am at the office, working from home so this cuts out a lot of extra wasted time :)

    I do sometimes miss a morning workout for whatever reason, but I then get it in either during the day or the afternoon :)

    5:30 wake up and straight into shower/get ready
    6:00 coffee (double espresso) and finalize the day's food
    6:15 commute
    7:00 start work
    14:00 first meal (intermittent fasting)
    17:00 finish work/commute home
    18:00 light meal/snack followed by evening routine/ bath- bed kids
    20:00 Gym - always lifting + cardio. I do 2-3 very heavy strength focused days and isolation on the others
    21:30 post workout meal (last meal as IF cut-off is 10pm)
    22:00 - Chill till whenever I feel tired.

    Hectic! The commuting is a killer. It's nice working from home..... but..... I find I can get a little side-tracked with stuff to do around the house.

    Now this I've tried... I just find I'm running around like a headless chicken, forgetting things, like.... oh I don't know..... going to gym or eating. I am also the world's worst procrastinator so without structure for me BOOM! and the day is gone. :laugh:

    6:30 - Get up, straight in the shower
    7:40 - Start the commute into London
    8:30 - Start work
    11:30 - Breakfast (I can't eat it early)
    14:00 - Lunch, then a walk
    17:00 - Start commute home
    18:15 - Arrive home, straight on the weights (Mon, Wed and Fri)
    19:00 - DInner

    On Thursdays I go swimming at 21:00, and I also go on either Saturday or Sunday mornings at 7:00.

    The rest of the time is normally spent either in bed or the pub. :laugh:

    A girl after my own heart. My favourite activities are sleeping and pubbing (okay I sail too, but that goes hand in hand with the pub after a day out on the water).

    I'm not sure who this question is for, so I'll assume it's for me. :tongue:

    I eat "normal" food. Eggs, lean meat, salad, pasta, veggies, fruit and drink beer! :drinker:

    I do far too much cardio at the gym. I love to run but I have Plantar Faciitis (Sp?) at the moment so I swim and do the cross trainer. I do weights too, but not enough. I need to bump up my weight training programme. Been using the machines, but am learning the art of "free weights".

    I don't usually drink during the week at all; except last night :blushing: . The weekends are a killer for me because I socialize a lot and as I said, being a sailor..... well that speaks for itself.
