Update!

I know I sound like a broken record when I say I'm so busy! I can't really recall a time in my "adult" life where I wasn't busy but I guess if there's anyone to blame for that it'll be me but I'm not blaming.

Here's an update:

1. Got engaged.

2. Started planning the wedding (yes already!)

3. Taking a little break from planning the wedding because...

4. I'm taking the NCIDQ Exam on Sept. 30 & Oct. 1st (so I can be a licensed Interior Designer, if..no WHEN I pass)

5. In preparation for this $1000, 2 - 8 hour day exam, I'm taking the IIDA prep course. My Saturday mornings are now spent in the office until Sept. 17.

6. Because of all the new happenings in my life, I had to do some readjusting of my daily routine/schedule to be able to perform the tasks of a superwoman.

CHANGES:

I am now working out in the morning. I drag my butt out of bed at 5:00 AM to get ready and be at the gym by 5:30. I work out for an hour and half to 2 hours, get back home and get ready for work. WHY?

I used to work out after work. Sometimes I don't get off until 7, make it to the gym by 7:30 work out tile about 9:00 - 25 minute commute home - get home at 9:30 - walk the dogs - make dinner - eat dinner at 10:30 - do house chores - relax - by the time that's all said and done I start studying at 11:30 - I don't get to go to bed well after midnight when I have to get up no later than 7 the next morning to get ready for work. So I thought if I worked out in the morning, I don't have to worry about the gym after work. I can go straight home, have dinner and have plenty of time to study. It's been really great. I'm usually in bed by 11:00. The past few days, I've been reading a chapter here and there while I'm on the treadmill and get the studying out of the way in the morning, I'm in bed before 10! That's unheard of! Well I'm loving it once I get pass the getting out of bed part. I'm making healthier choices throughout the day after my workouts. I feel more energetic and I'm a little bit more motivated to workout in the morning and more than likely to stick to it than after work. After a long day at work, sometimes the gym is the last place I want to be.

So that's the update for now.

Oh we're having the engagement party Labor Day weekend and we have some friends/family coming in from out of town! Can't wait!
