Working and Working Out

I had Monday and Tuesday off this week and I had a little awakening on Sunday after a conversation with my mom (check monicasweighdown) that had me back on my treadmill early Monday morning. I love my job ~ the kids are great (who doesn't love little sickies and fakers), the paperwork is fun (because it's still new) and it's nice to have other adults around to talk to. But I don't want to allow the fulfillment of my job replace my need to keep myself in shape ~ to keep my body a priority. It's hard. I'm having to sleep in my workout clothes, wake up at 5 am and get my butt on the treadmill by 5:05 to make sure I have enough time to run, shower, dress, and eat before I get to work at 7:30. Today I did just that AND dressed Apollo so Ryan could take him out to the bus. It all worked out! Let's hope I can keep it up.
