Workout

I've been getting up a 1/2 hour earlier to work out each morning.

This past weekend, AJ asked if he could work out with me.

When I told him I started at 5:30am, he didn't even bat an eye.

He's anxious to try out for Football this year, and now that he doesn't have PE in school this quarter, he's worried about staying strong.

So, we work out.

And the conversations have been priceless.

I realize that it won't last forever, but I'm relishing in that opportunity to get to know him and hear what makes him tick...without his sisters around.

And happy he realizes the importance of keeping up on exercise...no matter how early he has to get up.

You've convinced me. I'm going to start getting up earlier too. *yawn* which means I am also giving myself a strict bedtime. 10pm at the latest.

Maybe Lexi will exercise with me hahah!
