5:30 AM.

That's the time I'm waking up every day now.  Giving me about an hour and a half extra per day.  Which adds up to... a LOT of extra time each week. 

And, to make a good thing even better, I've been taking the first forty minutes of my day and heading to the gym in my complex.  Six minute walk there, then immediately turn around and go home.  No, I kid.  Six minute walk there, then free weights, then twenty-eight minutes of treadmill, a little more freeweights, and then the six minute walk home.

I've been doing the wake-up thing for three weeks.  This is only the second week of the workout regimen, but this far it's been both fun AND rewarding.  Fun, because I have lots of extra time each week.  Rewarding, because the ladies tell me I'm handsome and fit even more ofen than they used to.

(I should note that they tell me more with subtle, non-verbal cues than with actual, you know, words.)
