Up and At ‘Em

Hubs and I went to the gym very, very early. When we returned home, I opened the blinds and did a double take. Look at the clouds reflected on the still water! We showered and went out to breakfast with my brother and his friend, who is staying with him for a few days. His wife is home in Connecticut at work. Later, we will be playing 9 holes of golf. The weather is perfect and the water is back to being waves and is twinkling. What do you do when you first wake up? I first say my prayers, make the bed, and wash and dress for exercise!

I step out to my desk, check my bp and blood sugar. I try to remember to pray for all the people I have promised and start my internet day. I will not have my full breakfast until Bob is up for the day, but I will have coffee and something protein while I wait. When it warms up I will start my morning outdoors.

@DianneN Exercise? I'll get back to you when I find out the meaning. Oh.....is that what it means? No, I don't exercise.

Usually open all the windows and let the fresh air in and make a bit of breakfast. That is a wonderful view you have there how lovely.

@lovinangelsinstead21 I am always too cool, so I'd wear a jacket and take it off if it gets too warm.

A little a short prayer of gratitude. Then shower, dress up and go to work. No wonder you are fit. How often do you go to the gym?

That’s what I used to do, too, but I walked first thing every day before work for 15 years. I go to the gym about 3 times a week, usually Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

Great photo! I used to love waking up and watching the sunrise when I lived in south Florida. Seeing the sun come up over the ocean was always a treat. Now, I go to work so early in the morning that it is still dark out when I leave the house.

@DianneN It can be blinding if you're sleeping and that sun peaks in your window and hits you in the eyes!

It is a treat for me. Up north there are too many trees which hamper the view. However, it blinds me!

Oh, definitely! First things first. I have to feed Doodles or if my husband beats me to it, I have to take him for a walk before I can go on my own walk. And then walk him again as soon as I get home.

@DianneN I wish Sophie would go out and walk with me but she doesn't. I guess it is you teach them young to do things. I did not even think about it. I ask her if she want to jog with me or jog here but she does not answer so I take it as a no.

That's my last when I'm in CT unless my husband is up first. Then my task is to take Doodles for a walk before I go on mine. He waits at the foot of the stairs for me. lol

Me, I say my prayers. After which I exercise. Then, drink two glasses of lukewarm water and take a bath, do my make-up and eat breakfast. After that dress. So far, we have the same routine.

The clouds reflecting on the water is amazing! My day starts off similar. First I thank God for another day, make the bed, shower, dress and then come downstairs and put on the coffee and check into myLot.
