High and Dry

The sun is finally out and Atlanta is drying up again. My hearts go out to so many of those that were hit the worst. Seems like people by a river or a stream were the hardest hit.

The high part of the title is regarding my MORNING WORKOUT! Yes you read that right. I did the elliptical for 30 minutes this morning in the comfort of my own house. 5:45 comes really early but I know I can get used to it. I wanted to quit at 10 minutes then again at 20 but I pushed through 30. I will work my way up from there. The best part of working out at home is being able to wear a tank top and rock out to the ipod without feeling stupid. Aside from the occasional curious dog lick, I had some good me time. Now, I've already worked out and will have no guilt at the end of the day. I also think working out in the morning will help me make better choices throughout the day.

I wish I had more time to write today because I have a lot to say but the work is piling up and I'm sending out another resume so I need to get to it. It feels good to be proud of myself today although doubts are creeping back in the second I think about applying for another job. I'm going to try to push them aside and try to think about my mad skillz rather than my fat arse :)

(speaking of fat arses, I just had to stop what I was doing to bring something upstairs to my boss. He won't even walk down the stairs. Now, I don't feel nearly so bad about myself)

    And yes, you do have some mad skilz. Maybe you should tell your lazy boss to get off his lazy arse and get downstairs!

  3. I love me a morning workout - makes me feel like I can take on anything for the rest of the day! You are correct, you will get used to it. I switched to am workouts 12 years ago and can't even imagine going back!

  6. Yay Tina! Glad you enjoyed the morning workout! For the record, I entertain those "I want to quit" thoughts all the time while I'm working out. I don't, but I think it, lol!

  9. Way to go!! Mornings work really well for me, and then the rest of the day I truly feel more energized. Once the routine becomes part of the day, it's easy.

    And yes, you do have mad skillz, and someone is going to be damned lucky to latch on to you and those skillz.
