They think I'm nuts to get up at 5:30 and in bed by 10. But I feel so much better than when I sleep in late. I can't stand when people tell me "Oh, I just can't do anything in the morning."

I actually run in my sports bra when it's just me working out in our basement... It's definitely not something I would do out in our neighborhood but helps so much to cool me down (especially as my belly is growing!).

Right now there isn't any realistic way I could make it to a gym (working to make that change) or it would at least make another challenge...so a few $s spent ensures that I have what I need at home (and I can wear old nasty sweats and not feel bad about it)...great job!Sarah@creatingbettertomorrowhttp://creatingbettertomorrow.comnoreply@blogger.com
