Oh my gosh. I am so busy this morning I almost forgot to write this post! It’s 9:45. I’ve been to yoga, walked and fed the dogs, applied for a job and checked up on another application in progress. WHOOOO-HOOO.
Of course, it wouldn’t be a challenge, right? I thought spending a long weekend with family in Tofino would make getting up at 6 a.m. even harder. In fact, because they know about my challenge, it was easier with people around because I was directly accountable to them. So, even though we stayed up too late, I did get up — well at least, wake up — at 6 every day. We went for early morning walks and went to the gym before breakfast!
Overall, things are going well. I’m not perfect, but, my alarm is set for 5:45 and I always wake up then. And, I’m going to bed earlier, which is fantastic.
Since it’s the middle of the month, it’s time to start thinking about next month’s challenge. My cousin Janice is considering joining me — we enjoyed a lovely ‘7-minute workout’ together in Tofino and we think maybe we should challenge each other to do a minimum of two circuits of that, daily, for the month of February. I’m not gonna lie … my knees were a little grouchy afterwards, and I wonder if daily is feasible. But I’m willing to try!
Other options: walk at least ten km every day (I do about 6 – 8 k a day now); 30 day yoga challenge (I’ve done it before, but still…).
If you have ideas for what my challenge should be, or yours, for that matter, let me know by commenting on this blog.
Yours in the early morning light,
Susan
