Making A Habit - Day 3 Update

I woke up today at exactly 6:29 on my own. Hmmmm - very interesting. My Aunty Lily posted this comment on my first post: "An ounce of morning is worth a pound of afternoon." I love that! I'm finding it to be true. Here are a few motivating discoveries to keep me going:

1 - It's not as hard as I thought it was going to be
2 - I'm not as tired as I thought I would be
3 - Yesterday I washed, dried and folded 4 loads of laundry before 11 AM. That's never happened before. It could possibly happen again :)
4 - Today I made a waffle and bacon breakfast for the whole fam at 7:30 AM with dry hair.
And this was after taking a shower. Amazing!

Maybe I'm just being tricked...

Make A Habit in 28 Days?

I love to sleep. I'm terrible in the morning. But I have a much better day if I get out of bed, get ready and get a few things done before my kids attack. This means I need to get up before or around 6:30. I know, I know, 6:30 isn't that early in the real world. But in my world, it’s extremely early.

So they (whoever "they" are) say it takes 28 days to make or break a habit. I'm on a quest to find out if that is true. If I get up around 6:30 for 28 days, will my body adjust to waking up early? Will I start to wake up on my own without my blaring alarm going off? I don't know.

Why am I telling you this? Accountability, people! If everyone knows that I'm trying to wake up early, will I actually do it?? I guess we'll find out! Today was Day 1...wish me luck!
