5am: you come so quickly
My first attempt at a 5am workout did not go so well.
Monday, I woke up at 4:45am and fed Lucy. I looked at my clock and decided to set my alarm for 6am. I thought that there was no way that my daughter would be able to eat and then fall back asleep enough for me to put her back in her crib in the 15 minutes I needed before my alarm went off.
So today, I tried again.
Lucy ate at 4:15 this morning. I was able to feed her and put her back in her crib. She fell back into a deep sleep before my alarm went off for the 5am wake-up call. Who are we kidding. It was also possible for me to fall asleep for another 20 minutes.
So, I woke up. Put my contacts in, put the coffee on, changed into a tank top, undies, and a sports bra. Perfect yoga wear for my living room. The cats were crazy- happy to see me.
I did a yoga DVD for about 20 minutes, took a break for a cup of coffee, and then did a pilates video through our netflix on the wii. (name dropping brand names like crazy- sorry!)
I made lunch, ate breakfast, showered and heard Lucy shout out for me at 6:45. I call it a successful first stop!

gotta start somewhere!
I am always appreciated my body in motion. I was a good swimmer in high school and a VERY poor runner. In college, I worked out regularly- really rocking the elliptical machine. After graduating from college and moving to Brooklyn, running became my exercise of choice.
About three years ago, I was running about 25 miles a week. Then I got pregnant. I was exausted, nauseous, and just couldn't do anything. After having my daughter, during my maternity leave, I started running again. Once I went back to work. I can't find the time.
Time.
So this blog is me starting somewhere. Many of the blogs that I read are stay at home mom's who are able to work and schedule their lives in a way that they can fit in a run. When I am done with my work day, I go home to a husband who has just spent all day with our daughter and is usually in need of a break. Some days he is able to get things done around the house- other days he is just holding on.
I also want to spend time with our daughter and really enjoy her baby-ness. I know it will not last forever. But, if I don't start to take time out for myself now, I never will.
Here is to starting over.
