I'm loving being home. Even though I'm super stressed and not quite recovered from my disaster vacation, it is so nice to be home. I shaved. I used MY extra hydrating super moisturizing body wash with my own loofah. My bed. Privacy in the bathroom. For certain. Need I say more?
If any of you are wondering how on earth I can say my vacation was a disaster after writing at the Peanut Gallery, I must say that post was written at the beginning of my trip to the beach. On the way back was another story, which MrsFatass let me unburden to her so that I could remain a lady. Are we straight?
Being home does have a few problems. Okay, so it's got the same amount of problems it always did. I come home, needing a vacation from my vacation and it turns out that sleeping in is just not an option.
I am, like so many people, only able to exercise at one point of my day. In the morning, very very early. After that, Hubbend goes to work, miss THANG has a schedule that is necessary for universe maintenance and I am getting grumpier by the second.
So I work out very very early in the morning.
Besides all that, there are two of my twitter buddies @JeninRL and @JennIsShrinking need me. I give them a shout every weekday morning at 5:30. Yes, that is the A to the M of the morning. Personally, I think that they just leave their phones in the living room and laugh at my attempts at early morning humor. But, they missed me and it's gotten me out of bed more than a few times.
Plus, I usually get a shower.
So, andale mujeres. Vamonos! When do you have to get your exercise in?
how much do I love that you text em in the mornings!!
ReplyDeleteI get mine in at the asscrackage of dawn (Im not vulgar---thats the technical term).
then I can happily and not resentfully have the rest of the day be about others.
You and Miz both made me smile today with your wonderful word usage:)
ReplyDeleteI am fortunate in that my time is mostly my own during the day. But motivation goes down as the hours pass by. I most prefer to work out mid-morning after breakfast and a blogoshpere fix. The old me never worked out later if I missed the morning. The new me will manage an afternoon workout MOST of the time if I just can't get a morning one in for some reason.
As my Mr. says, I get up at the Crack of Crack. Started it when my non-driving teenagers life (she's 30 now) took over my evenings and it was the only time I could get that walk in. Developed the habit and the rest is history. Truly, truly there is something wonderful about running at sunrise.
ReplyDeleteWell...you gotta know; I don't have kids yet, SOOOOOO....I get to go to the gym whenever. What I have found works best is EARLY in the morning and RIGHT AFTER work. Gives me little time to talk myself out of it :)
ReplyDeleteIf I don't get mine in in the morning, then I don't get it in at all either. Here at my house we have become a bunch of sleepers this summer, and I am lucky to make it out of bed by 7:30, which I have found is making me slow to start. It is time for me to start getting to bed at a regular time and setting that alarm again.
ReplyDeleteHey I felt like I needed a vacation from my vacation this year too.
ReplyDeleteI like to exercise early in the morning before most people are even up. The later it gets in the day the less likely it is that I will exercise.
I get up around 5:30 have my coffee and a little breakfast, put on my work out clothes and hit the nature trail! It is done and over with and it sets me up for a good day. After working out I don't want to eat badly and undo my good works!
I have two times - before work or after work. I'm not very good at RUNNING at 5:30 in the morning. If I'm up at that time, I walk. Otherwise, I try to run when I get home. The challenge is when I'm working 10-11 hour days (like right now) neither time of day seems like a good use of the time I should be making my lunch or dinner.
ReplyDelete(Also, skinny girl next to me yesterday says "I just KNEW I needed to run. I ate a few McDonalds french fries at lunch and I knew that wasn't good." Um. Sister? A few french fries wouldnt even HIT my guilt meter.)
I get mine done after work. Mornings are not an option. What is this 5:30 AM thing everyone is talking about? What freakazoid parallel universe does that exist in??? I get up for work at 6:45, I am at work at 8:00 AM. On weekends if I'm out of bed before 10 then it's a miracle to be documented at the Vatican.
ReplyDeleteMorning people...I just don't get it :D
I just got home from Texas, been in a hotel for 4 nights.. I can so relate to the bathroom to myself. my shower. my loofah. my soap.
ReplyDeleteand of course, you are still doing a fabulous job! keep it up ! :)
I get up at 4:30 so I can write, be by myself and then exercise before the crew troops down the stairs. You are amazing!
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine - 5:30 in the AMs - daily to work out. Do you wear your red Superwoman cape under your sports bra or on the top of it? I just can't get over it - every day you amaze me. I need to be more like you in every way.
