T.G.I.F

Completed my morning workout! What I notice about from the day I started to now, is that I am a little stronger and I'm not fighting to catch my breath as long as day one. Those little things are good signs and I don't feel to cranky in the morning. I'm still not Miss Sunshine, but my mornings run a little smoother.

This morning I almost said "Heck with it. It'll be OK." I couldn't do it. I didn't want to quit! I didn't want to disappoint myself without trying to give it my best shot.

It's Saturday tomorrow, I might sleep in, but I will get that morning workout done.

Mellow Morning

HA! I didn't even need my alarm this morning. I woke up 15 minutes earlier and didn't have to snooze at all! Workout done and I feel like I'm improving as I do the workout each day.

I'm in a very mellow mood this morning, which is good. Yesterday was chaos and I almost didn't know how to deal with it all.

This posting in the morning is almost therapeutic for me.

Now a few words to keep my going...

Alarm Malfunction

Off my checklist ... Workout ... DONE! My alarm didn't go off today and boy I woke up exactly at 7 am. I jumped out of bed and gasped to my daughter to get up and ran to get the computer to find my workout routine and got it done! Whew!

I'm trying not to have a rushed morning, so later my day won't feel rushed either. I need to take a deep breath and just relax. Better said than done.

Today's tip...

On a day like this I can't argue with that saying... Just Do It!

Good Morning, Again

Can you believe it! Second day of getting up early to workout! It was a struggle, but I did it! Yeah ME!

I could feel the soreness creep up through out the day yesterday. I feel it more in my knees. Ever notice when you feel like your getting old, things start to hurt more than they did 10 years ago. Age stinks!

I had so much energy yesterday, I was on a roll at work. I usually complain about how tired I am, but tiredness crept up a little after 1pm. I'm a little tired right now, but the main reason is because I had my 10 year old in my bed kneeing me in the back and hands flailing in my face or an let's not forget the cover hog that she can be. Of course no one to blame but myself. When the hubby is gone, she sleeps with me. A habit I need to break. I'll work on that, then maybe I can sleep better.

Morning Wisdom:

Good Morning!

No I don't ever appear to be a happy morning person. I never smile and I hate getting out of bed, BUT today is my 1st day waking up and getting in my quick workout for the day! I have to admit that I did hit the snooze button ONCE, and it took a lot and I do mean A LOT of will power not to forget and snooze again, and Again and AGAIN! Day one complete, this deserves a huge applause, if you knew me, you'd agree...

Before getting my workout in, I was extremely tired, woke up several times during the night and got a phone call this morning from my husband who accidentally rolled onto his blue tooth head piece which in turn called me.... grrrr! Of course at the time I was afraid of a 5:00 phone call, very unusual for us. But all is well!!!! Right now I feel wide awake and as shameful to admit it, but I'm actually ready to take on the day and am going to avoid my morning coffee that's usually loaded with French Vanilla Creamer. Co-workers usually tease me about "Coffee with your Creamer, Christine?"
Don't need it today, I'm not dragging!

Message of the day...

Going to have a GOOD day!

Today begins February week two! My new goal is to get up with the INTENTION of working out! I can't leave the house without a quick workout! That's what I need to do! NO EXCUSES! The hardest part is having to get out of bed, especially if I had a miserable night of sleep the night before. I dread this challenge. Why would I do this to myself?

Wish me luck on this! I'll post every morning to show that I have succeeded. Maybe even daily words of wisdom to motivate my day and week.

Perfect! Enough to get me started with a new attitude toward a new me!

Disappointment!

My January Challenge for losing 10 lbs. is a complete failure! I'm so disappointed in myself. I only lost 5 lbs., which is what I gained the New Year's eve evening with food and drinks, but I can't quit now! I know I've said this before over and over again, but I have to do this. I'm thinking more about my health in the long run and I want to be around to see my future unfold before me!

I haven't been feeling good since Thursday of last week. I have this wild head cold that's driving me crazy, but that's no excuse for me not to have had last month's challenge in the bag.

February Challenge is a 10lb. loss. I'm determined to get it right this time around! Just You Watch!
