4 AM Makes No Sense

I guess I was really excited after yesterdays incredibly motivational realization of what a huge difference I can make by just waking up a bit earlier.  I woke up at 4:19 AM. what. the. heck. ...that time does not even make any sense to me!  As much as I want to do this, I found it impossible to get out of bed.  So I kind of rolled around and thought for a few hours and ended up getting up around 7 am.  In hind sight, I probably should have just gotten out of bed.  Now at 7 I felt more groggy and tired than I did at 4.  Part of my issue is that I had no idea what I was going to do if I got up at 4 except for think about how silly it would be to wake up that early and then probably be disappointed in myself that I did not make good use of the time.

How I imagine tomorrow morning
will be...stay tuned for a more realistic
version tomorrow morning.

So I decided I need to have a plan for when I wake up tomorrow no matter what time it is.  Many of the websites I have come across suggest doing your exercise in the morning.  Although eventually I want to try doing my runs or more intense exercise in the morning, I'm going to start off slow with a little yoga.  I found a great video online with the ocean in the background that seems like it might be a nice way to start the day. Morning Yoga for A Good Day.  I am going to try to make my living room a serene and relaxing place where I can ease myself out of my dreams and into a peaceful reality.  If only we lived overlooking the ocean and I had a view of the sunrise :-/

I am also going to eat breakfast tomorrow.  I am terrible with just having a huge cup of coffee and no food until lunchtime.  I know that is not how I need to get my body started.  I don't want to just have a bowl of cold cereal either because that will not help me to get out of bed.  When I visited my mom while she was working in California, the diners out there had the BEST healthy menus. **Insert sarcastic remark about California health nuts here**  One of my favorite items was an egg white omelet with ground turkey, salsa, avocado & brown rice.  I can do that! So today I will be going to the store and making sure that i am prepared to make a really good breakfast.  If I cook, maybe my bf will get up a little earlier too and we can spend some quality time together :)

Ok, I think that is a good start...Yoga & a healthy breakfast and probably watching the Today Show.  Sounds awesome!  I'm sure my post tomorrow will be interesting after trying yoga for the first time in years....yikes lol :)
