This morning I got up at the crack of dawn - actually BEFORE the crack of dawn - to go to the gym. What's amazing is not that I actually got up, but that I got up after a terrible night of practically no sleep.
So, what was keeping me up this time? The 3 year old who lives in our house decided that he needed to eat after putting his pajamas on then again after he brushed his teeth and then again after his teeth were brushed again. On top of that, at 4:30 this morning he decided that he wanted yet another glass of milk which again led to a third tooth brushing.
The 2 year old also decided that a night of no sleep was in order and at 4:55 am decided that he wanted a different pair of pajamas on. I swear that these guys know when I need to get up early because they pull stuff like this.
Even though I was woken up early and didn't actually get to bed until midnight, I got dressed and went to the gym. Yes folks, I braved the crazy subzero weather this morning and made it to the gym a whole 5 minutes before it was scheduled to open. I then waited another 20 minutes for the place to open before I decided that whoever it was that was supposed to show up wasn't going to make it.
Call me crazy but I thought that the day after New Year's Day was one of the busiest work out days. But, there was nobody - except me and another guy - in the parking lot. I decided that I would just throw in the towel for this morning and try again this evening. I'm praying that my day isn't off to a bad start.
Brrrrrrr...you're crazy! In my experience the day after New Year's IS one of the busiest days at the gym. Hm.
Happy New Year, Irene :)

Well you are way more brave than I am! Although I have to leave at 4am tomorrow to drive up to your city for a company meeting! I am NOT looking forward to that!

Leo has been very good about working out for the new year. He wants to lost like 20 lbs! He's gained about 40 since he met me, so 20 lbs is pretty realistic. Haha. I've been doing my hip hop classes (cheesy i know), but it really helps. Especially when you have co-workers who push you to go. Have fun at the gym!
