    0430 - Wake up, mash a oats, egg whites, vanilla ice cream protein shake and take my pre-workout
    0500 - At the gym
    0600 - Shower, don the uniform.
    0630 - In the office

    Cardio after work.

    Gym is on base so it's rather easy for me.

    Back up - what time does everyone go to sleep? Especially those waking up at 2-3am, wow!

    I was thinking the exact same thing! Also how do you do it in the winter? I can't do dark mornings. :disappointed:

    Not up early much are you :) ? I get the to the gym at 5:00 AM, it's dark regardless of the season. Just 60-70 degrees colder in the winter.

    Wow! Lots of motivation in this thread. I don't have kids, or a dog. My gym is five minutes from my apartment, I picked this apartment for proximity to the gym. I have been struggling to wake up early, but have not been able to get over the "hump" of going to the gym early.

    Looks like I can get it together. Most of you have so much more going on than me.

    I usually can only go to the gym on mornings that I don't have my kids and that only happens when I work the night before. Last night I wasn't off til 11 and was in bed about 11:45. Sometimes it's closer to in bed by 10:30 if I'm lucky.

    Alarm at 5:45 up and at em quick snack like maybe some cheese and pre-workout then I try to leave for the gym by 6. I usually sleep in my gym clothes.
    6:10: at the gym lifting for about an hour
    7:10 ish head home and stop on the way for a 32 oz diet coke
    7:20 arrive home. Shower and get ready for work
    7:50 leave for work
    8:00 arrive at day job

    I occasionally get up earlier so I don't have to rush so much but sometimes the extra half hour of sleep is more necessary. Sometimes I get to go on a Saturday and I get to take extra time at the gym. I love those days.

    ETA: I eat breakfast at work which is usually something I prepare ahead of time and grab on the way out the door

    So, I am not the only one who stock up on their daily diet coke each morning. :D

    Honestly, a lot of teachers I know :( And they stay late. And then mark. Those people deserve way more than they're paid.
