I have never been a morning person. I don't even want to be a morning person. I want to sleep until at least 9 every day of my life. (Funny that used to be noon Before Children!) These past two weeks though, I made it my goal to start going to the gym in the mornings. I know, I know - what the hell was I thinking?!?! Me? Get up in the morning on a regular basis and WORK OUT??!! Say what?
The first few days were pretty difficult. Okay, they sucked - big time. I kept going though, refusing to succumb the "oh I'll go in the afternoons" or the "but it's too cold out to get up" thoughts I usually have. I sucked it up and I forced myself to get out of bed on day 3 despite the nasty sinus issues I had going on. I don't know why, but day 3 is where I always tend to mess things up. Well not this time! I did it. And you know what I did it again on........okay, day 5. I just couldn't do 4 days in a row.
Well that was last week and now here I am on Wednesday and it's getting easier each day that passes. Heck on Tuesday morning I was wide awake before Bryan even & I left the house before he did. Today, I admit I struggled and almost went back to bed but I decided no way, I'm not ruining it. Up, dressed and out. And you know what, I'm looking forward to it again tomorrow. It is really great having my workout completely done by 7:30 and then knowing after work I can come straight home and play with the kids and enjoy the upcoming fantastic weather.
I never thought I might possibly become a morning person. Whoa. We are going out of town tomorrow until Sunday though - let's hope that doesn't ruin it.
