What time is it?

Going through my yoga trainer has given me a deeper craving to get myself in shape and reward my body for all that it has done for me.I currently practice yoga in the studio 3-4 times a week and try to squeeze in some home practice however with a 7 month old crawling around and on Monday and Fridays my 3 year old running around sometimes that is a bit more difficult than I wish. So I decided to start going back to the gym. I am tired of beating myself up over the bit of flab on my arms or stomach and decided to do something about it. Perfect! Right?

Here is the catch though no gyms ( all 2 of them) in the town don't offer childcare. Frustrating! So I reached out to my sister in law to go to the gym in the morning... and by morning I mean being at the gym on the treadmill at 6 am! Yikes!

                                                  Yes that is 5:48 am...

This morning was the first morning we executed our plan. I set the alarm for 530 am and was at the gym on time at 6.. wow.. and surprising actually loved the drive in the morning.. there was something very peaceful and calming at that time in the morning.. it seems very pure to me.. I had no problem getting into the groove at the gym and by the time I got home just after 715 I felt energized getting laundry done and showering allowing the other men in my house to sleep in until close to 9..

 I should mention that I was in bed before 9 last night to prep myself .. party mama eh?

Our plan is to go Tuesday and Thrusday mornings and then once on the weekend at a later time. I feel determined to get into this routine and can hardly wait to reap the rewards of my early mornings.. Hey nobody has ever said working out wasn't worth their time!

It was so nice having the organic conversation, laughs and sweats with my sister in law in the morning when we were pretty much at the gym alone.

 I will keep you posted on my workouts!

A helpful hint- I know for myself it isn't easy getting up at that hour so that is why I reached out for a partner.. Knowing I have someone waiting for me at the gym gets me to get up and get there on time..

What is your favorite music to listen to at the gym? what keeps you motivated?
