Day two...still alive...

So today was day number two of working out at 6am.... I am still alive and feeling great!!! I think what makes this possible is that I am up and exercising before my brain wakes up so I dont even realize what I did until I get home. It was a little harder to get up this morning, but I think that was because Peepers had a nightmare at 3am so my sleep was interrupted for about a half hour...but I did it. I even reached a personal goal!! I have this bad habit of for instance, if I am going to run for 20 minutes, I'll stop at like 16 minutes because "its close enough". Today, (and yesterday) I went for the entire amount of time for each segment. Quite proud of myself, thank you.

The only problem about working out in the mornings is that I am pumped and ready to go conquer the world. I want to go rock climbing, hiking, camping, or in todays instance go to a jazz festival...but then I must come to work. I dont mind, I like what I do, but if I was a millionaire, I would be outside. Alot. And it isnt helping that today the sun FINALLY peeked its head out of the monsoon that we've been having and its not very cold. Oh well. One day :)

Oh ya, I have to tell you about a long lost item that I have just re-discovered....frozen go-gurts. I grew up on these, loved them, ate the crap out of them, then moved out, got poor and forgot about them. Then the other day at the store, I was trying to get some new things for Peepers to eat, because some days we have to convince him food is not going to kill him...I stumbled upon them!! So I took them home and froze them. Now, Peepers has his "ickeams" (ice cream) that is actually yogurt so Im fine if he eats as many as he wants...and I have a 70 calorie dessert!!! Normally I would be making double fudge brownies with buttercream frosting...now that I am working out and trying to get toned...I cant do that anymore..so frozen yogurt it is!!! I am so happy. I just have to buy a lot of them now because Zac has discovered the frozen goodness as well. And when he likes something....its gone before I even get any of it.

Gosh I feel good. What an awesome feeling. Wonder why it took me so long to get back in the saddle.
