TIme to Reflect!

Since I do not call my new life focus a "resolution", I decided to check in with myself on how I was doing with the changes I made prior to the end of 2009.

I am almost 1 month in to my new routine of getting up early to workout and shower (I know, this is a lot of detail) before getting the kids up. I have to say, I am really starting to enjoy it! I feel like I get so much more done,  my mood is drastically different, and I don't feel the constant stress of "running" out of time and not getting it all in. I think it has improved my personal frame of mind and professionally too!

Today I began to reflect on the physical results of my new lifestyle. While I haven't seen any drastic results on the scale, I do feel much better, look leaner and seem to have more energy. I took to the message boards for the exercise program I am using and apparently to make sure my results are typical and found some good suggestions on small changes to make. Confiding in others who are doing what you are doing is a great way to find out what works and what doesn't. Don't pretend to be a expert that knows it all, even they learn new things now and again.

What makes life funny is that I have apparently traded late nights of t.v watching ( I now am in bed before most 60 year olds)  for 5:30 wake ups and workouts! And you know what??? I like it!
