That inner glow
March 6, 2008 – 10:46 pmTime is precious these days with a schedule like mine, so I figured it was time to utilize and maximize the time I have in the mornings before work. That means getting my ass out of bed and getting to the gym to workout in the mornings.
It seems like each week, I am meeting or encouraging others to look into and start WW themselves, because it is one of the few weightloss lifestyle plans out there that work. So the more people who know that I am doing this, the more compelled I feel to keep with it, to keep getting results and to be a strong ear, shoulder, cornerstone for them to turn to in a moment of crisis.
I knew there weren’t any more excuses to why I wasn’t getting up in the mornings before 8 am to workout. So I forced myself up and dressed at on the treadmill by 7:15 for a brisk 2 mile walk before showering and work. It was harder for me to get up and moving and it certainly was a bit intimidating to be walking next to a neighbor who is training to run marathons on the treadmill next to me. But I walked around beaming inside today knowing that I had done it. Who knows if I will get up and do it again tomorrow or not (though I hope I do), but at least tonight, I can snuggle up on the sofa with Mike and not be sweaty.
I am loving school. There is something so fulfilling about going to school to learn and feeling like I am playing. I gave two manicures tonight, one to a fellow student (who works out at Total Family Fitness - the gym Mike’s dad owns) and one to a client who is originally from Vancouver, B.C. I am liking how I am getting to meet so many new people in our city. I touched up the polish for a sophomore from River right before closing too (Hi Elizabeth!). I don’t drive home tired and dreading the following day. I am looking forward to it.
Practice makes perfect and I want to perfect everything I learn. Anyone interested in being a manicure model??
