Prioritizing for the gym! 40 days til Bikini Competition

So this summer my son wasn’t with me as much so to keep busy I spent a lot of long hours in at the gym.. I was trying to figure out how I could still get my workouts in without affecting his life too much.. I mean I don’t see my little guy all day so the nights are really for him.. So I’m doing EARLY workouts I’m up at 4:20a.m and at the gym by 4:45-5a.m- I switched weight lifting to the morning and at night we can do more cardio together which I gear to make fun for him and I so he isn’t bored.. So far it’s working, he loves it 🙂 it was hard for a few days getting on schedule but now I’m used to it! I think being on this schedule really helps us! I make everything for lunch the night before and lay our clothes out for work and the gym.. So I don’t dilly dally trying to find my stuff in the morning.. I may go as far to say, becoming a little more organized because this is important to me so I’m going to make it happen 🙂
