6:35 am FTW!!!

I managed to do it again! I am SO proud of myself!!!

Buddy and I got up, I got ready to take him on a run, and we walked around the lake twice for a warm-up. We jogged 2.1 miles in 21 minutes...10 minute mile time!!! Pretty proud of myself for that too ;)
We did stop and take 2 breathers so that Buddy could meet his first horses! He was super nervous at first haha but the horses were right up at the fence-line and once I held my hand up to them, Buddy relaxed a bit and then was stretching SOOO far to sniff them, but he didn't want to get too close haha he kept hiding behind me...so funny! But he did really well for meeting such huge animals for the first time! :)

Last night I went to swim club for a bit, but we were really only practicing dives (which I don't think I've ever done before...so nerve-racking!!!) and then I came home and did some homework!

Also, I had a SUPER GOOD breakfast today too! Yet another reason that I like waking up a little earlier now :)
Check it out: Scrambled eggs & egg whites, apple-maple-flavored chicken sausage, and strawberries & raspberries!!! Absolutely delish! Go ahead...be jealous! ;)


Anyway, things have been going so well lately! I'm definitely feeling SO good with eating better and exercising more :)
Reasons I've liked getting up earlier rather than sleeping in super late:
-I get to make awesome breakfast
-I get to do some homework/reading before class/lab
-I get time to look decent instead of going to class in my PJs
-I get quality time with Buds!
-I get to have more time in the day
-I sleep SO good at night on days that I wake up early!
-Buddy sleeps SO good on days that I take him for a jog!
-I get time to make my lunch before I go to class/lab instead of making it the night before
-I actually don't feel as tired as the day goes on :)
-Sometimes I get to justify a nap in the afternoon (when I actually get some time in the afternoon!)

haha overall, I've been pretty happy with the change! There are days that I just need the extra sleep because I went to bed later, but at least I'm not sleeping in until 10 or 11 like I used to! Now it's more like 9:00a is sleep in time :)

Last night at the oyster meeting was SUCH a great success too!!! I'm so proud of how well KMWC has been doing this year :)
