6 AM where are you sun?

I had a huge feeling of de ja vu this morning. Last year at this time I was working out at the Y(MCA), getting up early in the morning before work and getting a class or regular workout in. I did it about 3-4 times a week and absolutely loved it. What I didn't love was that it was pitch black outside until I was coming home. I felt like I was exercising in the middle of the night, which I'm not 100% down with. And then as the time went by the sun started to wake up with me. It was wonderful and I was truly excited. Until daylight savings time. I realize that you get more sun later in the day, but I love love it in the morning!

So today as I was driving back to the gym, and the sun was coming up, I decided that I was not going to get tricked this year. I just have to remember that the sun will not be my friend in the morning until the summer and no amount of hoping and dreaming will change that.

As you have probably gathered, I woke up and worked out this morning for the first time since getting my membership. I had to give myself a good pep talk but once I was in the car I was sold on it... its just so hard to get out of bed when the house is dark and nobody else is awake. Don't worry everyone, I'm perfectly aware that these days are short lived since little babies like to cry at all hours of the night... That doesn't change my want of sleep right now though!

Last night my sister made fettucine alfredo with a salad and cheesy bread. DELICIOUS. I am willing to hire her if she wants to move in. Just saying. Having her cooking on Sunday night (instead of us cooking when we get home at 7:30 from youth group) is the best. I have to somehow convince her that this should be a lifelong thing we schedule in for each week.  Any ideas on how to do this? I am assuming that at some point she will not be so eager for the "free meal", you know, when she is not in college and has her own family.

Long day today... I just have to make it Wednesday when my day starts (7:30 AM) and ends (11:00 AM) early and I have a bunch of time not at work.

Happy Monday!

  1. It feels so great to start out the week with a morning workout! Though getting into the habit is pretty rough - for me at least, I'm finally getting pretty used to it. I can't wait until it's light out in the morning, too! It is very depressing when it's so pitch black outside in the morning.

    I hope you have a great week :)
