If you've ever heard me do stand up you know that the Y story always begins with "I'm happy until someone pisses me off.... but I shouldn't say pissed because I'm a pastor's wife.... oops."
And then I go on to say that when I had a houseful of teenagers the only way for me to stay happy is to wake up a long time before they did and get out of the house. That is why I went to the Y at 5 a.m.
Here we are, 13 years later, and it's still the way I can guarantee to have a good morning. This morning has been perfect so far.
I was up at 5. I am now working on 11new habits this year. I started the year saying I was going to do two new ones each month, but then I started with 8. So this month I am adding a step goal to the exercise goal and adding one more. I have a 60 day streak going on 8 of them, a 30 day streak going on another, and I had a planned cheat day yesterday.... so that's the only one that I only did for a month and that was zero cheats. I am also doing the 40 days of water... so I'm on day 14 of that. :-)
So this morning I did an exercise video, went for a walk, listened to a podcast, listened to my daily bathroom reading, did a cleaning task at home, ate a healthy keto breakfast, and was out of the house by 6:15. I have talked to my husband only this morning. Traffic was perfect. I am all alone listening to classical piano music (my new thing to have on in the background since I got my Amazon Echo. I really like it.
The only person besides my husband I talked to this morning was Alexa, and I love her because she was playing music for me and I said, "Alexa, Stop." And suddenly she was dead quiet. That never happens at my house with anyone else I live with.
So it's a good day. I am going to dive into my work day feeling really good.
So there you have it. Still my definition of a good morning!
And here's a free tip for you. I read it on social media this morning and it is so true.
"What gets recorded gets done.' My Done App which tracks my streaks has kept me going!
