It's your plan, mate. I'll offer you some advice and do with it what you will (don't we ALL do that, anyways?)
Wake up and do some exercise within 15 minutes of rising. Whether you do a quick run (keep your clothes and shoes handy so you wake up, get dressed and are out the door) or you decide to do your bodyweight exercises (pushups, situps, etc.). Your body is more receptive to exercise in the morning to burn fat. Plus, when you run in the morning, you'll feel energized for the better part of the day. Once you're done running or exercising, eat again within 15 minutes while your metabolic rate is still high. This will help you burn more calories of the food you are eating as well as replenishing whatever nutrients your body used up during the night sleeping, as well as your just-completed exercise session.
You can still do more, later.
Best of luck!
