The Night Before

Every day is the first day of the rest of your life, and I intend to start living that way.  For the last three years since I left my husband, I have been stuck in a sleep-deprived haze of naps, work and school.  I have been saying for years now that I need to change and I need to better myself and I am finally ready to start doing it.

Tomorrow is the first day of a 7-day raw fruits and veggies cleanse that I am doing.  I am going to get up at 7:20am, when my first alarm goes off, put on workout clothes, drink a smoothie, take my son to school and go run before I run my errands.  Then I am going to come home, get ready for work and do homework until it is actually time to leave for work.

My main problem is that I am always super motivated in the middle of the night and by the time morning comes, I am turning off the alarm and sleeping until noon and ruining my entire day.  I am not going to do that.  I am headed to bed right now, and starting as soon as that first alarm goes off, things are going to change.

Life is obdurate, but I am going to change it anyways.
