Jamie: That sounds great! After my jog, I have a light breakfast, usually some fruit and yogurt, and then I get ready for work. How’s your morning after yoga?
Alex: After yoga, I have a hearty breakfast, maybe some eggs and toast, and then I catch up on the news. I usually start working around 8:30 AM.
