This morning I could barely get out of bed, so it was more of a focus of doing that and just following the routine than a focus on having a good run. I walked my regular one mile loop with Bella instead of running - it was the most I could muster up today, but I'm proud of myself for even getting up. I'm seeing that it's very difficult to get up early on Monday mornings if I'm not doing it on Saturday and Sunday as well, so that might have to change. Once my true training starts, I'll be getting up very early on Saturdays, so I better get used to it. It may mean getting up, running, taking a shower, and then going back to bed on the weekends. It's only been 2 weeks, but I haven't had one week yet where I've gotten up every weekday, so that's my goal for this week.
I think Bella's getting used to the walks and really liking them as well, which makes it easier for me. She's getting into the routine of waking up early and, in turn, waking me up. :) Good girl.
On another note, I haven't been flying by the seat of my pants quite as much lately. I'm doing better at going to bed earlier (still need to make an hour earlier) and getting everything ready for the next day the night before. I feel more calm. I'm sure the exercise is helping this as well.
I don't own a scale, so I have no idea if I'm losing weight. At the moment I don't feel or see it, but who knows. Maybe I should keep track of that. Although it will be an added bonus, and this is something I've been wanting to do for a while, it's not my number one goal. It's not the focus of this whole adventure, anyway. But I think the pounds will start shedding come this summer when training with Houston Fit starts. I have been eating better. Tracking every meal on Livestrong has been a little more difficult than expected. My discipline in that area hasn't been the greatest. But I have been more conscious about my meals. Oatmeal this morning with brown sugar, bananas, and golden raisins. Yummmmm.
Well, it's time to hit the showers and get ready for another day of my hooligans. I am so ready for summer vacation.
And that's the update, folks. On to the next one.

Keep at it, Claudia! Getting out there is half the battle!
