    On my work days, monday-thursday
    Wake up at six and shower right away, I take ages in there that's why I have to wake up so early lol:/
    Get dressed and do my make up, while my mummy's packing my lunch lol. Go downstairs, grab my coat, put on my shoes and it used to be nothing for breakfast except a sugar free redbull but I have usually a cadbury flake bar now lol.. I need sugar!

    On fridays, I'm at my college class
    Wake up at twenty to seven, wake up my little brother and pack his lunchbox while he's getting ready. I do his breakfast on fridays, so make his breakfast, call him downstairs, then I go straight upstairs and shower at half seven.
    Get dressed and do my make up, while my mum's putting all my stuff in my handbag for me. I take my little sister to school on a friday, so we eat breakfast together at ten past eight usually, I really like the belvita breakfast biscuit bars:) and I can't eat a bar of chocolate in front of her because it doesn't set the right example but it gives me the sugar I need. Then drop her off and get the bus to college as soon as I've dropped her off.

    My weekends are alot more unorganised
    I wake up usually around eight to ten, my body doesn't understand the word lie in! Lol:( Shower and get dressed then do coursework. I do this for most of the day until around six or seven in the evenings then I go out. I used to eat little fruit snacks on my weekends but I'm trying to eat meals too.

    On my weekdays I work out either in my lunchbreak or after work/college. On my weekends I don't work out. On my work out days, I work out for only sixty minutes lol.

    I agree the belvita breakfast bars are fantastic! Especially the new yogurt crunch ones they came out with :) The oat ones keep me going for ages!

    I don't have a routine. Ever. At some point between 9.30 am and 12 pm I will have some porridge, and at some time during the day I will drink 4 cups of tea and hopefully remember to take at least 2 of the 14 or so supplements I keep in the cupboard, but that's as close to a routine as I ever get.

    Awesome posts everyone! Thanks so much :)

    I'm glad to know that I'm not the only person who absolutely hates having to rush around in the mornings and exercise after I've just (barely) crawled out of bed!

    Weekdays I get up at 4:30 am. Drink a large glass of water. Get dressed for gym, drink a cup of coffee and eat something small like a couple of dried apricots. Out the door and at gym by 5 am (I am lucky its only a 1/4 mile away). At gym until 6:15 or 6:30 then head home get ready for work and out the door by 7:15 or 7:30. Commute to work and start.

    Breakfast is usually one of the following:

    English muffin toasted with egg, cheese, and peppers or oatmeal with fruit or peanutbutter or a protein shake that I can drink on the way into work. I usually eat my breakfast within 30 minutes of returning home from the gym.

    I don't do early morning food, ever. I get up and drink some fresh hot coffee (then switch to hot lemon water or hot green tea when I get to work). If I eat anything before lunch, it would be a grapefruit or peanutbutter on whole wheat toast or something like that. Nothing big. I walk on my lunch hour with weather permitting and then do 30 or 45 minutes of exercise in the early evening, about six o'clock. I do a variety of things, biking, AbCoaster Plus, glider, stairstepper, weights, BodyBar, BodyFlex, etc. Try to mix it up but I do the biking and AbCoster every single day.

    I enjoyed this post, reading everyones routines and breakfast ideas.

    Heres mine.

    Up, to the bathroom then weigh myself (most mornings)
    breakfast is a whole wheat bagel with all natural peanut butter + 2 egg whites. Coffee and water This comes to about 350 calories. Sometimes I will have 1/2 the bagel and add an egg to the egg whites. Then, I do a few things around the house and once my stomach settles I go for a run, or do whatever my exercise will be for the day.

    The alarm goes off and I snooze, and snooze some more till 6 am. Stretch then get out of bed, go to the bathroom, put contacts in, brush my teeth. Go get a glass of water, drink it while I get ready. I'm to work about 7 am and I eat a nutrigrain bar or have a grapefruit while I'm doing computer work. By 830 or 9 I then have half a cup of whole grain old fashion oatmeal with a half a cup of either blueberries or strawberries.
