Fit = Happy

I get the same question over and over and over... "What time do you get up???" And people act like no one has even gotten up before 5a.m. before. Yep, I get up every day at 4:45a.m. It's my routine. It works for me. Do I like it. NOPE. Do I give myself and option? NOPE. Because for me, that is it. The only time that I could possibly squeeze in a trip to the gym alone, no interruptions, clear head, nowhere else to be. And I realized that it's my happy place. Everyone else there got up at the same time, all with the same goal. I love it. But do I love getting up early. NOPE. I never will. But you do what you have to do to succeed. Some people squeeze it in over lunch breaks or after work, between a long wild work day and the million things that go on in a working mom's evening (do I even need to list it out?) that will never be an option for me. So mornings it is. Forever... or atleast until I retire :)

I realized this morning, despite having risen before the sun and exhausted from a serious whooping in class, everyone leaving was smiling! And I know for certain it is because fit people are happy people, even at 5a.m. Eating smart, taking care of your mind and body can only lead to happiness, I'm sure of it :)
