FYI, I have oatmeal as an afternoon snack.

DawnK; can I ask, how long does each exercise session last
Sure Pete.. let's see 3 days a week he does an hour of stretching (he's got a bum knee) and then he runs 5 miles. The other 3 days he does weight training at the gym for about an hour and a half. The only bummer about this is that he has to get up at 4:20 M-F to exercise.
EtA: sj, the timing is the worst part... the DH has to get up at 4:20 to exercise then get back in time to get ready for work.

Damn, that is early. There is no way in hell TCG would get up that early. 6am is painful enough for him.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
He is not a big breakfast person, but I am going to work on trying to get him to eat oatmeal.
Dude. Tell him that oatmeal, all on its own (I very seriously made NO other dietary changes, and although I don't eat constant junk, I don't watch what I eat very closely; and I also didn't increase my sporadic exercise) lowered my cholesterol almost 10% in 6 months. I mean, that's the kind of decrease that *medication* can cause, but oatmeal is yummy and has no side effects.

I so totally hear that! I would rather drag my butt to the gym after a loooong day at work than give up any of my sleep time. But this way guarantees that he gets the exercise in. It's so funny, DH's bed time is earlier than my 10 y.o.!
EtA: Steph is so right, the Dr. told the DH that oatmeal was the key!

Day-umn. No way I can handle that kind of exercise regime any time in the forseeable future. Impressive stuff.

In JilliLand, that's not early, that's the middle of the night.

And on some insomnia-laden nights, it's bedtime.

I know! If it's still dark outside, then I'm still sleeping! The worst part of it all for me? He lets the cats into the bedroom when he leaves (he says it's *accidental* HA!) so that I'm usually awake by 5:30 because of "crazy kitty time"

Art Crawl!!!
Does he feed the cats? Because my cats annoy me in the morning because they want to be fed. (But if I want to sleep in I can feed them and go back to bed and they will be fine.)
I think that they sit and wait until I move, because last night I went to bed earlier than usual resulting in waking up at 3:45 and my cats were RIGHT. THERE. WAITING.
