Accomplishment!

I have to write this now before the kids wake up and the whining, fighting and complaining begin to ruin my good mood. It took some effort but I am proud of my little accomplishment this morning. I was able to get myself up around 5ish to hit the treadmill. Okay, so the plan was 5am but I hit the alarm and laid in bed for a few minutes trying to give myself a pep-talk to get going. About 15 minutes later I was finally able to get up and get my workout clothes on. Then, I went and laid in bed for 5 minutes. :-) I finally did it though. I got myself up and went down stairs and did a mile of running (I know not much but I felt so winded) and an additional mile+ of some fast-paced inclined walking, followed by alittle cool down. I made it through 30 minutes of cardio! Yay! My goal is to be able to run that whole 30 minutes. One day!

So this is just a small accomplishment, only one day of getting up this early, but we need to celebrate the little victories in life or we'll always be disappointed for falling short of the big ones.

Good Morning!!
