Monday

I think Monday's are the toughest day. I didn't get much sleep last night, but I looked at the clock and though "1 more hour of sleep will do nothing for me." And I'm up.

My routine for going to the gym is waking up, twittering, watching the news and allowing my head to clear. So I get up with about an hour to spend waking up. Next I pack up my clothes for the day - don't forget the towel or clean boxers! - and do a quick inventory to make sure I can get dressed at the gym and head straight to work. By the time I get to the gym, I'm wide awake. Generally I give my Mom a call on the way and we try to fix the world. I work out at an Air Force base in Colorado Springs so it's a 20 minute drive.

I arrive at the gym and always unload all my clothes into my locker. I say my locker, but it's not, it's a daily use locker. However, I almost always use the same one. It's cool because I get to know a few gents I wouldn't otherwise know. One gentleman is about 70 years old. He retired from the Air Force and than retired again from the US Civil Service. This guy doesn't look a day over his late 50's, no fat on him to speak of, and the nicest man in the world! He always motivates me to keep working at getting and staying in shape. He could be sitting at home doing nothing, but he still sees the value in consistent workouts (that's our focus here, not being bodybuilders after all!).

So, I've OCD'd and put my clothes in the locker. Next I do whatever workout is in the works for the day. When I'm done, the reward: 15 minutes in the Sauna. I then shower and get ready for work, and finally head to work. I swear I feel the workout clear through lunch. My clothes are fitting much better and some are getting too loose! That's a great problem to have.

So, tell us some of your funny routine plus today's workout today below. Keep up the great work.
