I guess they are called bulletproof coffee.  I change what I put in them, but there&#8217;s always something good in there &#8211; but not milk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then I exercise. It used to mostly be yoga or a HIIT exercise or something like that, but I got this vibration plate about a month ago and I&#8217;m loving it &#8211; so that has become my morning go to exercise and I&#8217;ll explain why after I do the 3rd cup of coffee, which comes with nothing in it &#8211; just black and that is followed by go out and play with dog time. [We&#8217;ve already been out a couple of times by now, but that&#8217;s just to do her morning constitutional.]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I got into this routine many years ago and it seemed to work then but I got away from it and now I&#8217;m back to it. I&#8217;m trying to remember things that used to work for me. I got a little off kilter when I did this last move, but I figured it&#8217;s time to get back to what used to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Until I got the vibration plate, I had been doing my usual yoga, HIIT, Pilates and things like that. I still do those, but they&#8217;re not part of the morning routine anymore. The vibration plate has replaced the between the coffees morning exercise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, this doesn&#8217;t happen on days where I have to get out the door within an hour or two of getting up &#8211; unless it&#8217;s summer when I get up early. I&#8217;m a light\/dark sleeper. If the sun is shining, I&#8217;m usually up which means in the summer I am up earlier than in the winter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Back to the vibration plate. I&#8217;ve seen these online with what I considered &#8220;influencers&#8221; yammering about them and my thought was oh yeah, right and I would scroll by it, but then I saw something that sounded more legitimate than an influencer, and I started reading about them and decided to get one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Being a long time Costco member my first look was at Costco and no they don&#8217;t have them at my store. I don&#8217;t think they have them at any stores that I&#8217;ve seen, but they had one online. And I figured if I don&#8217;t like it it&#8217;s a quick drive to Costco to take it back &#8211; anyway it came very quickly and I&#8217;ve been using it ever since it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I won&#8217;t go into all of what I like about it because I&#8217;m one of these people who thinks results vary. I know people who hate these. I know people who love them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What it has done for me, it may not do for you, but I am very happy with the way I feel. I have more energy. My flexibility has improved, and I am actually doing more of the other exercises over the day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have a smart watch which measures many functions &#8211; and every one of those is moving in the direction that is considered good health. I&#8217;m healthy to begin with, but my watch is telling me I&#8217;m getting healthier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;ve worked out my own vibration plate routine &#8211; as I said I do it every day between coffee cup two and three, but I change what I do every day and I&#8217;m still learning it  &#8211; and nope &#8211; I haven&#8217;t cranked it up to its fastest paces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And by the way, that&#8217;s my almost 14 year-old lab. I&#8217;ve never had a dog get this old &#8211; so not only am I learning about my own aging. I&#8217;m learning about her aging.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<div id=\"respond\" class=\"comment-respond has-link-color wp-elements-fac0a8322e09d1e84a65ebe142372e41 wp-block-post-comments-form has-text-color has-vivid-red-color has-background has-luminous-vivid-amber-background-color\">\n\t\t<h3 id=\"reply-title\" class=\"comment-reply-title\">Leave a Reply <small><a rel=\"nofollow\" id=\"cancel-comment-reply-link\" href=\"\/graywolfproductions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5388#respond\" style=\"display:none;\">Cancel reply<\/a><\/small><\/h3><form action=\"https:\/\/www.graywolfproductions.com\/graywolfproductions\/wp-comments-post.php\" method=\"post\" id=\"commentform\" class=\"comment-form\"><p class=\"comment-notes\"><span id=\"email-notes\">Your email address will not be published.<\/span> <span class=\"required-field-message\">Required fields are marked <span class=\"required\">*<\/span><\/span><\/p><p class=\"comment-form-comment\"><label for=\"comment\">Comment <span class=\"required\">*<\/span><\/label> <textarea id=\"comment\" name=\"comment\" cols=\"45\" rows=\"8\" maxlength=\"65525\" required><\/textarea><\/p><p class=\"comment-form-author\"><label for=\"author\">Name <span class=\"required\">*<\/span><\/label> <input id=\"author\" name=\"author\" type=\"text\" value=\"\" size=\"30\" maxlength=\"245\" autocomplete=\"name\" required \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"comment-form-email\"><label for=\"email\">Email <span class=\"required\">*<\/span><\/label> <input id=\"email\" name=\"email\" type=\"email\" value=\"\" size=\"30\" maxlength=\"100\" aria-describedby=\"email-notes\" autocomplete=\"email\" required \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"comment-form-url\"><label for=\"url\">Website<\/label> <input id=\"url\" name=\"url\" type=\"url\" value=\"\" size=\"30\" maxlength=\"200\" autocomplete=\"url\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"form-submit wp-block-button\"><input name=\"submit\" type=\"submit\" id=\"submit\" class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" value=\"Post Comment\" \/> <input type='hidden' name='comment_post_ID' value='5388' id='comment_post_ID' \/>\n<input type='hidden' name='comment_parent' id='comment_parent' value='0' \/>\n<\/p><p style=\"display: none;\"><input type=\"hidden\" id=\"akismet_comment_nonce\" name=\"akismet_comment_nonce\" value=\"1e2b7ba66d\" \/><\/p><p style=\"display: none !important;\" class=\"akismet-fields-container\" data-prefix=\"ak_\"><label>&#916;<textarea name=\"ak_hp_textarea\" cols=\"45\" rows=\"8\" maxlength=\"100\"><\/textarea><\/label><input type=\"hidden\" id=\"ak_js_1\" name=\"ak_js\" value=\"128\"\/><script>\ndocument.getElementById( \"ak_js_1\" ).setAttribute( \"value\", ( new Date() ).getTime() );\n<\/script>\n<\/p><\/form>\t<\/div><!-- #respond -->\n\t\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"767\" height=\"435\" src=\"https:\/\/www.graywolfproductions.com\/graywolfproductions\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/thank_you_construction.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5394\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.763279700242451;width:517px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.graywolfproductions.com\/graywolfproductions\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/thank_you_construction.png 767w, https:\/\/www.graywolfproductions.com\/graywolfproductions\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/thank_you_construction-300x170.png 300w, https:\/\/www.graywolfproductions.com\/graywolfproductions\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/thank_you_construction-150x85.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 100vw, 767px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These images reflect my daily routine, the first 2 cups of coffee come with something in them.
