Good Day, Tho' No Sunshine

It's a great day so far. I am blissfully unconcerned about the small amount of dissertation work I did this weekend. This is probably due to the prodigious amount of endorphins that have been released into my body, accompanied by a big seratonin peak.

I did a smart thing today. I set everything up last night (coffee, cat food can, workout clothes)and got up early this a.m. (6:30) and immediately got ready to work out. It was easy because everything was all set up. Then I DID NOT get on the computer, but instead drank coffee, fed the cats and went into my am workout right away. 90 minutes later I had warmed up, worked legs, back, abs and biceps, cooled down and stretched twice. And I felt fantastic.

There was even time to shower, dress and throw the ingredients for tonight's chowder into the crock pot before work.

Here are the strategies that worked to help me get my work out in and out the door this morning...
