The Importance of Routines

I haven't really started my fall and winter exercise routine which involves going to the pool for aquafit three times a week. The routine is: get up at 7:45, pack the swimming bag, dress, have breakfast and leave for the pool around 8:45 to be in the water shortly after 9:00 for a class that starts at 9:10. This morning I woke up without the alarm and thought since I haven't been for awhile I should get back in the swim of things (pardon the pun), so got up, packed the swimming bag, dressed and sat down to breakfast, and.................. took a look at my watch only to see it was now 9:15, instead of 8:15!! Too late to even think of going! Well, maybe that will teach me to set the alarm and begin the routine again................................... how about next week? I must make a promise to myself...... it's about time!
