9LIST ROUTIN3S | GUNNAR PETERSON: MORNING

1/ I have to do my workout.

2/ I eat a flavored pre-workout nutrition packet that is nut butter with the chocolate, and I'm just going to be honest, that's probably going to be my go-to until the end of time because I just love it.

3/ The third thing, I'm going to cheat and say my workout and nutrition packet because I enjoy both. That's the trick, I've found a way to enjoy the things that I have to do and know that I need to do.

4/ To eat, I'm a salmon guy. Working with my nutritionist, I found the food that works for my body, and I can eat copious amounts of salmon and I don't feel the ill effects, so I go with that on a daily basis. People assume I must be bored and sick of it, but I don't think of it like that. I think of it as something that I enjoy that fuels me in a way that I see the benefit.

5/ Really anything I could do family, wife, kids, brother, parents— anywhere I can have that interaction with them I know that I'm going to leave better than when I arrived. That could be something as simple as playing kickball with my son, to doing something with my older kids. It could be a call with my mom. It could be sending funny memes back and forth with my brother. That's my priority, especially spending time with my wife— anything with her, whether it's catching up on the day or just sitting out with the kids, is important to me.

6/ That's my priority, especially spending time with my wife— anything with her, whether it's catching up on the day or just sitting out with the kids, is important to me.

7/ I have to stick with salmon for things to eat, but if I must deviate, I will have some chocolate when it’s appropriate. For me, that's in the form of a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup.

8/ To do, my wife and I watch a fair amount of standup comedy at night. I love that stuff and it’s something we connect over.

9/ I have to say sleep for something I enjoy. If I can get an early night in once a week, and that's funny because when I say early, I mean 6 or 7 pm. I know that's early, but when I wake up, I feel like sky's the limit.
