Workout Scheduling Epiphany



I think I turned a corner in understanding I need to commit to working out in the morning and not at night.  I went to bed early last night and forced myself to get up and go exercise early (5:30 AM) in the morning, so I'd be done by the time Phoebe had to get on the bus (6:40 AM).  I really didn't want to do it, but now at the end of the workday, I see why people workout first thin in the morning.  It's like paying yourself first.  I'm feeling so free tonight.  There is no feeling of guilt around the things I need to get done to take care of my family over what I need to get done to take care of my self and body.  Let's see if that new found inspiration helps me get out of bed again tomorrow morning.  The funny thing about this morning was that I still needed to get to work early for an early morning meeting, but I really needed to wash my hair.  I did not have time to wash my hair.  Instead, I put my hair for the day together involving lots of dry shampoo, teasing the front of my hair, two bobby pins and a hair tie.  I'd like to think my hair had a Blake Lively kind of feel to it.



I think tonight I'll prep more to be ready for work:  get lunches packed, bags ready, vitamins out, etc. as I will really need to have time to wash my hair tomorrow.  I can't get away with that again.  But who am I kidding.  There will probably not be as much prep for tomorrow happening tonight other than baking cupcakes for their birthday party at preschool tomorrow.



P.S. I had a really catching name to this blog post when I wrote in my journal during red lights on the way home today.  However, I now do not have the foggiest idea what that great title was.  If I remember later, I will rename it!

P.P.S.  Just realized we haven't wrapped the boys presents yet.  Guess we will be up late tonight getting that done.  However, the shuttle birthday cake Tom made for tomorrow night looks fantastic!!!

I'm NOT a morning person so even getting to a 9 am gym class is MAJOR for me.

But you're right - I feel super smug and virtuous afterwards :)

That's a beautiful picture. Was that at sunrise? I'm slowly learning to become a morning person where workout is involved! I try to do a walk 3-4 times a week before work so I can get home in good time in the evenings ... Sometimes I wonder how I used to do boot camp 3 days a week starting at 5:15am!!!!

Hope the boys have a wonderful birthday xxx

The Boys Are Here!!!

I'm trying to post this from the hospital Internet access, but I will be able to do this announcement better justice from home, but it is a very odd, but short birth story. They came so fast and furious there was nothing anyone could do. But the boys are in the NICU and doing well. They were born at 31 weeks 5 days gestation on 5/29/2009. I will post their names and information (no comments on names unless you like them, LOL): Baby A: Thomas Michael III born at 2:09 AM Weight - 3 lbs, 15 1/2 oz Length - 18 inches Baby B: Liam Jonathan born at 2:20 AM Weight - 4 lbs, 1.4 oz Length - 17 1/4 inches long Just a word on their health, Thomas's breathing is doing well and he did not need any help in that area so far. I had two steroid shots from when I was admitted until before they were born, so I think that helped. Liam was intubated and given surfactant when he arrived in the NICU and is now on CPAP, although he can't stand having the tubes in his nose. Both are under t...

IVF#2 - It Worked!!!!

OK all my Internet bloggy friends!!!! I'm pregnant with the best initial beta I've ever had!!! Could that mean multiples? We'll find out over the next week or two for sure. My initial beta was 660! I can't believe it! I'm so excited I want to cry. I was so nervous. I didn't want to test before I went there because of all the hcg boosts I had. And I was really starting to doubt if it would really work out or if I was going to have a major disappointment today. I go back on Thursday for a repeat beta and we'll see if we're doubling or better. Leo made a prediction last night of twins. I wonder if he's right. Of course we just want at least one healthy baby, but healthy boy/girl twins would be like winning the lottery. Of course we'll want to win the lottery to support them, but I'm like Scarlett O'Hara in that perspective - "I'll think about that tomorrow!"
