Cool that you can get up and see your husband off (assuming that he gets up that early for a reason). What does he think of that? I hope 4:30am is not in my future. I'm still a beginner at this "morning person" thing, but that seems a bit too early for me.

Before I started this way of eating, I used to get up at 6:55am -- which gave me just enough time to get dressed, get fed, throw a lunch together, and make it to work on time. When I started eating LC last February, I got up 10 minutes earlier to cook breakfast and started making my lunch the night before. That gave me just enough time to get it all done. But soon, I started waking up before my alarm went off. Before long, it was more than 30 minutes before the alarm. Then it finally donned on me that I was becoming a "morning person" and I may as well take advantage of it. A few weeks ago, I set my alarm to 6:15am and I now take my time in the morning. It takes all the stress out of getting ready for work. I'll take another 15 minutes earlier if it comes. I think I can do 6:00am.


My wife didn't want to join us. She slept in. Maybe it was all the pizza, donuts, and junk food she'd eaten the day before? Anyway, she missed a gorgeous sunrise and a very enjoyable walk. I had some great Daddy/Daughter time.
