not new, but here is mine:
i thrive on routines! 
Love the regiment. The structure does us well, no?
Me too. you should read ‘the power of habit’. You can basically hack your life with habitual positive routines.
How long have you been doing the 4:45? That’s awesome!!
Whatever sets you/your day up for success! I love the honesty.
That’s awesome. I also love my mornings now. There was never a good morning when I was drinking, now that I’ve actually lived the good ones.
What helped you stick to the routine?
That’s my internal clock for many many years lol. I can’t imagine sleeping in until 7 or 8am. Maybe when I’m retired! 
I like building routines slowly. I am a firm believer in baby steps. I don’t beat myself up if my body says sleep in or no running today…I have learned to listen and trust myself. Now that I don’t drink, I no longer lie to myself. I know my truth and I respect and listen to my body mind and soul…I treated my self so poorly for so long…treating myself with loving kindness and compassion keeps me happy and healthy. My morning routine helps sustain that. 
Get up with hubby 4:45 -5:00. Oil pull for 10 minutes, then drink 8 oz. warm water with lemon and apple cider vinegar. Then enjoy my Bullet proof coffee!. Watch the news, read emails morning yoga. Gym late morning for an hour!
Wake up and fake it all day.
