Making_A_Change’s BodyBlog

Another hard morning waking up, again. If my daughter wakes up at any point in the night and her pull-up is wet, she immediately comes into our room and wants it changed. Usually, she can get it done herself and she goes back to bed, but if she has trouble with her pajama and bottoms or wearing difficult bottoms (last night she slept in her swimsuit) she needs help. Most times I just can’t get back to sleep quickly enough so I feel tired in the morning. But, I got to the gym and started off with  my 10 minute warm-up. I felt a little weak, but I was determined to make the workout count. Afterall, it would be relatively short because I was a little late. I really need to just wake up like I do for my trainings. I am at the gym by 4:45. I put my stuff away and then I am doing my warm-up my 4:50 and workout out by 5:00 a.m. Then I get a full hour and another 10 minutes if I need it. There is such an ebb and flow to this whole fitness-being. Some weeks, it is so hard. But then I have times, like now, where I am just euphoric. My strength is increasing and my balance is improving. My core is alot stronger, I can tell when I am going ab work. My husband said he can see ‘an ab’! I’ll take it!

I took a hot bath last night to relax and I forgot to put on shea butter afterwards. Dang, I had ultra-ashy legs at the gym. I was embarrassed for a non-second and kept steppin’. I think I am going to do some cardio tonight–if I am still feeling froggy. Tonight, I get to go shopping for a dress and shoes for me and my daughter. Husband is already taken care of. We are taking pictures tomorrow. I am definitely going to try and find something sleeveless so that I can unleash the guns. Maybe I should bring some dumbbells to the shoot. Can you imagine going to a portrait studio and some lady is a holiday dress and heels is doing curls, push-ups, and dips. That would be hilarious–and yet somehow not a bad idea. LOL! I have to figure out how to do my hair. It all depends on the dress–will I wear it out in all its natural glory or go for a more gentile updo. We’ll see.
