They could not decide if they should eat or play with me. I think Grace was hoping for something better than puppy chow.

Mike Tyson Training Program - Could You Follow It?
Mike Tyson is kind of an legend to a lot of bodybuilders. Many have expressed the desire to know about "Iron Mike's" daily routine. According to what we found out, you'll have to be an early bird if you want to follow in his footsteps!
This routine was listed on several websites and while I'm not 100% sure of its validity, it appears to be what is considered to be his daily schedule.
o 5am: Wake up and go for a 3 mile jog
o 6am: Back home for a shower and then back to bed (great workout for those huge legs of his)
o 10am: Wake up and eat oatmeal
o 12pm: Do ring work (10 rounds of sparring)
o 2pm: Eat another meal (steak and pasta with fruit juice drink)
o 4pm: More ring work and 60 mins on the exercise bike (again working those legs for endurance and
power)
o 5pm: Floor exercises: 2000 sit ups; 500-800 'dips'; 500 press ups and 500 shrugs with a 30kg barbell
and 10 mins of neck exercises (working the biceps, triceps, chest, abs and shoulders)
o 7pm: Eat steak and pasta meal again with fruit juice (probably orange juice)
o 8pm: Another 30 minutes on the exercise bike
o 9:30 Watch TV and then go to bed
Mike Tyson's training program may or may not be for you. In fact, some bodybuilders don't like to run since it uses up nutrients and energy they want to save for building muscle. If you do both without a long rest in between you may end up losing muscle when you burn through the nutrients. There are body builders who do run, don't get me wrong. Running builds up muscle fiber in the legs, it just best to get a rest after your workout before you run.
As far as Mike's diet goes, the oatmeal is a good choice. The steak, if it is lean, is also good. The pasta? Well, there's mixed opinions about eating pasta, but you should definitely avoid pasta made from white flour. Whole wheat is a good carb for a body builder. According to the list provided he is missing essential fats. He should be consuming healthy, unsaturated fats like fatty fish, nuts, seeds, olive oil and flax seed oils. It's also been proven that eating 5 - 7 small meals throughout the day is a much better plan than just having three meals.
While his routing may have worked for "Iron Mike", you'll have to decided if Mike Tyson's training program is the best one for you.

Sample Baby Routine for a 1-2 Month Old
It is important that our little ones are able to develop a routine to help them through their development. Part of this is to establish a pattern of when they're supposed to sleep, eat and play, but developing such routine is of course difficult as we know. If you really want to stick to a routine for the benefit of your baby, try the suggestion below! It might help!
6am: You'll probably hear your hungry baby's cry early in the morning. Try feeding him a bottle that's around 4 ounces. When he's full, more than likely he will fall asleep again, giving you a chance to get more sleep as well.
8 to 9 am: By this time, your little one should be awake again, crying for another bottle.
9 to 11:30am: Around this time is the best time to spend quality time with your baby. Play with him, hold him and snuggle him in your arms. This will help him know that day time is a time for eating and playing, and night time for sleeping.
11:30 to 12:30pm: This is the best time to feed your baby for lunch. After feeding, he'll probably get some sleep which helps him through the development stage.
5:00pm: After a few hours of sleep, he'll probably be awake for another feeding. After finishing a bottle, he'll become active again; ready to play for a couple of hours or so.
7 to 8pm: Dinner should be served around this time and your baby should be given his dinner (bottle) too! After drinking, he'll fall asleep again, giving you time to clean up around the house.
11pm: Your baby will then again wake up hungry. You'll have to give another bottle and let him sleep soundly again. This should also be the time for you to rest, too.
2am: Another bottle should then again be given for your baby. This routine should be repeatedly done until your baby's needs have changed.
Though every baby's needs differ from one another, they should be pretty close from one another. You should be able to understand and observe your baby closely so that you'll be able to know when to feed and let him sleep. Considering this schedule won't hurt and it's especially helpful too, especially if you're a first time mother. Not only will this benefit your baby, but it will also give you enough time to rest and sleep without compromising your baby's needs.
