Comments on: In the Morning http://jdakar.com/2008/06/11/in-the-morning/ I’m sure you’ve heard about me; if you haven’t, you will. Fri, 05 Dec 2008 01:00:24 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: The Jose Vilson — Already Ready http://jdakar.com/2008/06/11/in-the-morning/#comment-507 The Jose Vilson — Already Ready Thu, 12 Jun 2008 22:00:50 +0000 http://jdakar.com/?p=98#comment-507 [...] My morning routine consists of waking up to my ring tone / alarm “Champion” by Kanye West. After maybe getting readjusted out of my slumber and hoping the sun goes back down quick enough where I can forget about work, I crawl out, hit my computer’s on-button, wash my face, brush my teeth, scramble for a big bowl of Raisin Bran / Frosted Flakes / Lucky Charms / Apple Jacks / Honey Nut Cheerios, dump in some milk, and plop down in front of the TV for some NY1 News in the Morning, or ESPN depending on how interested I was in the sporting events of the previous night. It’s been this day almost everyday for the past 3 years minus weekends and most of my vacation days. I also check up on my e-mail, make a big note to myself about how I’m going to walk into my classroom today, what am I going to realistically do for the train ride to my school, and even have time to respond to a couple of friend requests, Twitters, e-mails, and messages.

Get dressed and ready and I'm out the door by 5:30. Get in the car, turn the IPOD to the appropriate "GET UP GIRL!" mix and stop by my local Mickey D's for a medium coffee (3 creams, 5 sugars) and then Chick Fil A for a Large Fruit Cup. Arrive at work at 6AM, check email, create a plan for the day. I’m up at 4:30AM and I turn on the TV and listen to the 700 Club, Infomercials, or Music on VH1/MTV depending on my mood.

Dakar Thu, 12 Jun 2008 03:06:52 +0000 http://jdakar.com/?p=98#comment-483 I try and schedule appointments, meetings and such during the afternoon. More often than not, though, I'll still have some posts to finish in the evening...especially when Wednesday rolls around and I'm working on a <a href="http://concreteloop.com/category/black-history-spotlight" rel="nofollow">Black History Spotlight</a>. If I weren't such a huge procrastinator, I would be completely done by noon. I'm not really sure about that, Cortney. I just make it a point to drink a cold bottle of water first thing when I wake up, but since I'll be working out, and you should never work out on an empty stomach, I eat a banana or some raisins. My guess would be that since you're metabolism has sped up, I don't see why you couldn't eat something. I try and schedule appointments, meetings and such during the afternoon.

It would take me all day to do the things you do in the morning, lol. Regarding the cold water tip...are you supposed to be exercising during the hour and a half? If I'm just sitting around and my stomach starts rumbling, I won't make it through the hour and a half. I need to eat! hm, i go to work at 8am, so my morning routine is very short:

7am - breakfast (one scrambled egg, toast, apple) and watch news

Maybe I'll incorporate that in my morning routine. Ledisi's "In the Morning" is in heavy rotation. Didnt know about the cold water. Maybe I’ll incorporate that in my morning routine.
