Morning exercise and oatmeal!!

Last night I slept in my workout clothes.  I wanted to be ready when the alarm went off at 5 o'clock.  I could get up do the 20 minute Zumba express workout, shower, eat breakfast and be on my way. 

NONE OF THE ABOVE HAPPENED!!!  LOL

At 4 a.m. Bologna woke up.  He was wet and hungry...so he was not happy.  I get up to go grab the diaper and make the bottle.  But first I have to put my daughter back in her bed, because she has taken up residence on the couch (she does this every night).  By the time I got the diaper changed, the hubby had made the bottle.  I handed him the baby and got back in bed.  Right before I feel back to sleep...I turned off the alarm.  Hell I wanted a few more sleeps.  Damn Bologna for wanted to be fed.  LOL!!

Tomorrow is a new day...I will make it work.  I need that extra 20 minute workout...so I will get in if the Lord is willing and the creek don't rise (one of my granny's ole timey sayings).

Needless to say the extra few minutes of sleep put me behind schedule.  I hadn't taken any clothes out for work.  So finally my husband makes me get out of bed at 6.  I find some clothes throw them on the ironing board and jump in the shower (my daughter is back on the couch, I ignore her).  I get out of the shower the hubby has ironed my clothes.  Awesome right...wrong...he ironed the wrong damn shirt.  LOL.  I'm spoiled...I already know.

I rush to weigh my food and start down the stairs. That is when I realize there was no breakfast in my tummy.  Nooooo....I need breakfast.  So I grab a thing of oatmeal ( I hate the stuff).  When I get to work I prepare the oatmeal thinking...this isn't going to work...I hate this stuff...it makes me gag. 

Well I was able to eat the damn oatmeal.  I'm so excited.  I was able to have a filling breakfast...even though it was oatmeal. 

I need a mantra...something to motivate me everyday.  Any suggestions?

I'm afraid I have no words of wisdom for this. I find it impossible to get up and work out in the morning. I always find a reason to sleep in. Maybe something like "I can sleep when I'm dead" or "Being skinny is worth being tired" or "I won't be tired once I get going." Sorry I can't be more hepful.

Hey Dawnya!! I just started following you around ;-)! As far as the mantra, I have adopted "snatching my sexy back" for working out. It seems to be working for me. Have a great day!!

"I can sleep when I'm dead, I can sleep when I'm dead, I can sleep when I'm dead"
