    I usually eat breakfast around 7 am. I take a gummy multivitamin, chewable vitamin c, and my celexa. I usually eat either multigrain cheerios w/ skim milk, or egg whites w/ turkey sausage crumbles and rf cheese, bagel thin w/ light cream cheese, or something else light.

    Then around 9-10 am, I eat a piece of fruit. Usually an orange or banana.

    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.

    On weekdays I've usually consumed about 275 calories by the afternoon, drunk 3 glasses of water, and burned around 100 through exercise.

    I wake up around 6:30, and after getting dressed, etc I take the dogs on a 10-minute walk.
    While the dogs are eating I prep my lunch. Usually by then my girlfriend has made us protein shakes (whey powder blended with fresh fruit) that I drink.

    I have a one-mile commute to work, which I either walk or bike. Once I get to work I drink a glass of water and have a cup of black coffee.

    Mid-morning, around 9:30-10:30, I'll have a snack. Typically it's fat free yogurt with fresh berries and cinnamon (with another glass of water) or sometime I do oatmeal. Sometimes I'm too busy or not hungry enough for the snack, in which case I'll eat lunch earlier. If I eat the snack I can usually put off lunch until 1 or 2.

    Weekends are a lot less structured-- unless we do a special dedicated breakfast I usually don't eat anything. Most Saturdays and Sundays the dogs get a longer walk and I'm more active in general.

    It's a pretty flexible routine. If the baby and I are staying home, I sleep until she wakes up (anywhere from 5:30-9:00...usually about 7 though). We get up, I change her nighttime diaper, and make her something for breakfast. I turn on my computer, she plays for a while and sometimes lets me get on the computer. If not, I play with her. Anywhere from 9-11 (depends on what time she woke up), I put her down for a nap. Sometimes I nap with her (if I didn't get much sleep), and sometimes I hop on the computer and either study or waste time. She gets up, I give her a snack. I usually weigh myself on the Wii at around noonish. After I weigh, I start drinking water, I eat my first meal anywhere between 1 and 3.

    If we are going to my cousin's house, I wake up at 4:30 with my husband, get dressed, wake the baby at 5:25, get her dressed, we all leave the house at 5:30, drop off my husband at work, go to my cousin's house, feed my daughter then let the babies play for a while, then we take them swimming, go out to eat somewhere, go get frozen custard, go back to her house and let them play until 3, I leave with the baby to go get my husband, and then we go home.

    I work out after 5 usually unless it's my husband's day off.

    I work midnights, so its not morning for me..
    But at around 4pm I wake up and oil pull for 20min. while cleaning or getting food ready for work
    then I brush teeth & do whatever p90x2 workout I have for the day, anywhere from 50-75min.
    After workout I generally eat greek yogurt with natural PB, honey, berries, and kashi granola
    I take liquid b12, fish oil, and a nexium.
    Then I shower and am ready for my day/night!
