I did it! I actually got my butt out of bed and worked out this morning! I haven’t managed to do that since Monday. I didn’t sleep well last night and have a stiff neck and horrible headache - but I did it anyway!! Ok, so it helped that I had to get up to pee and since I was up I just didn’t crawl back into bed like I SOOOO wanted to do! I turned on the bedroom light (I don’t know why that helps, but it totally does!) I sleep in my workout clothes so its just a matter of strapping on my steel re-enforced double harness (aka my bra) and hop into my tennies, which I keep right by my bed WITH socks. See how I make it almost impossible NOT to do and yet, I still look for excuses.
But today, I did it! 30 minutes of Jillian Michael’s Kickboxing DVD. I’m sitting here right now still dripping in sweat - can I admit here that I LOVE that. Yes, I love being all wet and sweaty and gross after a workout. Cause it means I WORKED IT, HARD! Next I hit the showers and get the little ones up and ready for school and daycare. I have so much energy right now (still have the headache though, total bummer. I even took Motrin before my workout.)
Today is off to a great start! I already picked up tickets for my daughter and me to see Twilight tonite! When I was at the theater last night about 7:00 getting the tickets, I saw girls already lined up to see the midnite showing! Now, I LOVE these books. LOVE THEM!! I’ve seen the midnite showings of all the Harry Potter movies (I take the whole family, it’s one of “our things”), The Mummy 3, the last Indiana Jones, and probably about a dozen more. I’m a total movie freak (it’s one of the things people love about me) but I have NEVER shown up for a midnite showing before 11pm. Cause HELLO, it’s a huge movie theater. It’s not like there are only 10 prime seats. Give me a break. A couple of the girls were dressed like members of the Cullen family, which I thought was cute. I totally plan on dressing like Bellatrix Lestrange at the next Harry Potter movie midnite opening! My kids are embarrassed to be seen with me. So why did I not go to the midnite showing of Twilight last night? ‘Cause as excited as I am to see this movie, I was REALLY tired last night. Exhausted. And I know that I wouldn’t have enjoyed as much. So I have it to look forward to today.
As I’m typing this the morning news is on. Now, I live just north of San Francisco. Part of the traffic report: “There’s a sea lion on Tiberon Blvd.” Not often that you hear that!
Time to hit the showers!!

You know what really inspired me? Getting a heart rate monitor that allowed me to input my age, weight, etc. and then strapping that thing on first thing in the morning. My heart rate is incredibly low in the mornings and doesn’t really get moving till I get some exercise. Even if it’s just 15 minutes, it gets things going.
Congratulations on rolling out and hitting the workout!
Some time before, I needed to buy a house for my corporation but I did not have enough cash and couldn’t buy something. Thank heaven my mate suggested to take the loan from reliable creditors. Thence, I did so and was satisfied with my secured loan.
