Good Morning!

jmfargoI'm starting to get used to this whole "getting up in the morning" thing that most other people seem to do automatically. I'm finding my own rhythm, realizing that if I get as much sleep in a night as your average person, I'm going to wake up groggy and tired.
Why does that surprise me, when I've "learned" the same thing at least 20 times before now?
Seems like I'm a student of my own history, and I'm just not very good at it. I always talk about how I want to figure stuff out on my own, grasp the world by the horns, and just ride it. I'll figure out how to lose weight on my own. I'll learn how to start a business on my own. I'll...I'll...and on, and on.
But I forget, oh so easily.
So, a few things I need to remember about myself:
1) 7 hours of sleep a night is good. 6 1/2 is better.
2) I have to keep a food journal in order to lose weight, otherwise, I forget what I've had.
3) Working out in the morning actually gives me more energy during the day.
4) I like working out, or at least how I feel afterward.
5) I'm much better at learning than I think I am.
6) I am NOT a good sword fighter. No, seriously. Stop that thought right now.
So, there. 6 things I need to remember about me. Hopefully I'll remember, but if I had to guess I'd say you'll be seeing a post eerily similar to this one in about 4 to 6 months. Just a guess though.
