Early

It's early.  I know that for most people, 6:30 AM is not early.  Many people are already on their way into work - my hubby is one of them.  Some people might already be at work - my mom and dad are.  But for me, it's early.  I work from home.  So I don't usually get up until I have to.  And since I start at 8:30, that means 7:55 or 8.  Just enough time to shower, pour some coffee, and sit down at the computer.

I thought having a baby would change that, but I was wrong.  She is a good little morning sleeper, like her mommy.  And so, I did what everyone suggests - I slept when the baby slept.  It's going to be a hard habit to break.  And I'm sure there will be days when I don't get up early.  But today I did it.  I got out of bed at 5:15, put on some gym clothes, and did my second workout of Focus T25.

My hubby and I don't have the time or the money to go to the gym.  Mark works an hour away on a good day, usually an hour and a half or more on a bad one.  He leaves the house at 6 AM and many nights, isn't home until after 6 PM.  So the logistics of going to a gym are a little difficult.  I know I could go on my own, and before Lilly, that might have worked.  But Lilly doesn't go to daycare, and since I work from home, it's not like I can swing by the gym on my way home before picking her up.  We needed something that we could do in our own home, and something that didn't take a very long time either.

Enter Focus T25.  I read about it in a mommy group I'm in.  I hate working out.  That's probably an understatement.  I hate it with a fiery burning passion that could fuel hell.  I have never liked working out and I don't know too many people who can honestly say they like it either.  So that, coupled with a baby, prompted me to look for quick workouts you can do at home.

Now, don't get me wrong, quick is not the same as easy.  This is the hardest workout I've done in a long time, maybe ever.  The entire workout I want cuss out Shaun T for coming up with this and kick myself for buying it.  And if I could catch my breath, I probably would be screaming profanities at the TV.  But it's only 25 minutes, and then I'm done.  Hopefully this one will stick.  I have a good feeling about this one.

Because like I said, it's early.  I'm still up, I'm still going.
