On an average night, I get to sleep at midnight and then wake at 6am to start my day. The 6am part is out of necessity, as I work from morning to afternoon (ugh, coasting the Slowlane I know!).

The reason that I'm posting this thread is to see if anyone has any tips for diet and motivation to get an energetic start to the day. I do have morning jogging in the back of my mind, and as of right now, I'm committing myself to start it tomorrow as a daily morning routine (as it's time to go to work now).

I would like to know, from any early birds out there, if there are certain diets that are tried-and-true to help with energy and overall mood. Here's an even better question... what should I be eating before going for my jog, and what should I eat afterward?

It's certainly not in my comfort zone right now to be jogging, but since jogging is an obvious benefit to physical and mental health, continuing my harmful lack of exercise is treasonous to my goals and therefore short-term comfort has no value. I just wanted to write that last part out for myself to help realize its logic and truthfulness, but hopefully it might inspire a few others to start an exercise routine if they haven't already!
