And so begins the first day of the rest of my life. At approximately 5:10 this morning I woke up, looked at my clock and slapped myself for getting up before the alarm went off. I hate that! I feel like I'm being cheated of sleep, even if it is only a few minutes. I had the alarm set for 5:20 so I lay in bed those extra ten minutes and stretched, keeping my eyes open or I knew I'd fall back asleep. Finally the alarm went off, radio blaring, and I jumped out of bed. The first thing I heard was "make sure you wear a hat before walking out today. Freezing temperatures are expected for most of the day." Yuck. I was so warm and cozy in my bed and now I had to go face the excruciatingly painful freezing wind hitting me when I walked out. Blah.

So anywho, after slapping cold water on my face (I couldn't/didn't want to wait for it to warm up) I got to movin' & groovin' Richard Simmons style. Except I didn't play oldies songs, and I didn't wear a funky outfit or a sweatband. I basically put on the first thing I saw (or didn't see because a. I wasn't wearing my contacts and b. the lights were off) and started moving. I did play some music (Dixie Chicks) so I wouldn't bore myself to death. And it worked. Twenty minutes later I was sweating like an eskimo in a sauna. Woo! It was great!

So that's about it. First morning workout done and only thirty-thousand, four hundred sixty-five more to go! Sweet!
