So, I was thinking of keeping this journaling private for now. But as I reread my words I realized we all have our struggles and have to live with the decisions we make.
This morning I completed Day1 of CDF, 3rd attempt to complete the program. They say 3rd times a charm so I'm in it to win it this time.
Three days ago I signed up for Joel & Jerico DietBet so I had meant to do Day 1 yesterday after work. Late afternoon turned into evening and evening activities into overly hungry/hangery and decided it was off to bed instead. I had intention to wake up at 4:15 to do MMA Speed but hit snooze and when I should have gotten in the shower I rolled myself out bed with a decision to make.
I had everything ready for this morning. Amazon Fire remote with hairband and full water bottle waiting in living room. Workout clothes, that got shed for pjs, laying on end of bed to be slipped back on and socks waiting in shoes. I did not hit the shower! I followed thru with my intention and got my booty downstairs to workout! Those first few rounds were hard, but all of a sudden it was Round 6! Wait, where did the rest of the workout go? :D
Grabbed a quick shower, popped my prepared food in my lunch bag and headed for a bus 30 mintues later than I normally would. I felt accomplished! My family may get the best of me some days and feel their priorities are higher than mine. But between 4AM to 6AM they can't touch me!
My husband would say I'm a morning person (because someone has to get up with the kids), but I'm not. I would love to stay in bed until 9... and some day I might again. But for now if I want to make myself a priority and still have time to make my family and other activities a priority then I need to take care of myself first.
Hello early mornings, you and I are going to be new best friends!
