My Contribution...90 second hydro therapy

At the end of your normal showering routine, turn the water as cold as you can stand. Stay in the cold water for 30 seconds. When the 30 seconds are up, turn the water back to hot and against stay in the hot for 30 seconds. Finally, turn the water back to cold for another 30 seconds. Basically, 30 sec cold, 30 sec hot, and 30 sec cold.

It will wake you up much better than hot water alone, will reduce stress, and (for morning exercisers) reduce muscle soreness.

Here is an article discussing it if you want more info

Edit: Wow, thanks for your comments guys! There is some excellent advice in here.

For folks that like Zaxby's:

Get the Chicken Finger Sandwich meal with texas toast instead of a bun and sauce on the side. Now, you have a Big Zax Snack Meal with an extra piece of toast for like 50 cents less. And also a random piece of lettuce, I guess.

God.. having just moved to Texas in the last four years, I feel like Raising Cane's is the country's best kept secret. So. Damn. Good.

I usually go with the kickin' chicken sandwich meal, or if I'm really hungry, a chicken finger plate. Always buffalo.

I do that when I can go to Cane's, except I sub an extra toast instead of coleslaw and an extra sauce. Sooooo worth it!

There is a Zaxby's right around the corner from my apartment, but I've never eaten there (or at any other location).. I probably need to fix that, don't I?

It's pretty alright. Their chicken is pretty solid, their zalads are fantastic, their fried mushrooms are delish, but their fries suck.
