It's happening...

I think it's happening, it's still early yet to tell, but I think I'm becoming a morning person!! I'm trying not to get too excited yet because I haven't sustained the early morning habit for 21 days, which apparently is the magic number to make habits stick. Still, last week I was doing early morning workouts all week, and this week I'm 2 out of 3 days for getting up at 6am. Holy cow! If I become a morning person can you just imagine all the possibilities? On Monday I got a taste of the awesomeness of starting my day early. I got up at 6am and did 5 miles at the gym. I listened to conference talks while I ran so I felt like I was getting a double whammy of strengthening body and spirit at the same time. I finished around 7am and then went grocery shopping! I did a HUGE shop, got everything I needed for the whole week. It went so fast without the girls and then I got home at 8am and 3 of the biggest to do's on my list were already DONE before the kids were even awake! So what did I do with the rest of my day? Ran errands, took Teya to the dentist, super cleaned my house (closets and everything!) mopped floors, scrubbed bathrooms, the works. I also made a fabulous dinner (courtesy of the crock pot) and when Taber came home he was blown away! Yes, I think getting up early has some serious perks, now if I can just teach myself to get to BED early, then I think this is really gonna stick!

  2. Mornings are the way to go. I'm up at 430 for gym time for 2 hours. back by 7, I get to read, shower, clean, etc. all before the kids wake up! I LOVE it!!! I was never even a morning person either. But now if i sleep till 8 I feel like i'm a total slacker and wasted half my day of "me-time".

  3. geez! Tony learned the hard way that I am not a morning person. The only way he has ever gotten me up at six was when he asked me if I wanted to lay in the shower with him ( cuz we have a huge tub) he turns off the bathroom lights and we lay in there with the hot water running. it's nice, but other than that,,, no go on the early mornings. I do have to say though, it's crazy onve 10am hits and you feel like it should be like 3 pm and you still have so much day left. but then by the end of the day you are super tired. good job bec... you are awesome.
