The desk person at the gym this morning says to me, "It takes a special breed to come in at this hour." I smiled and said, "Yeah, its called a busy mom!" LOL!
I am really loving the early bird routine and I'm incredibly proud for prying myself out of bed this morning. 4:30AM is UGLY (repeat from other blog) but I know that the rewards will be well worth it! I just feel great! I've never felt this good in a routine. I don't truly feel like I'm sacrificing anything to go work out at that hour, in fact, I just feel more motivated.
I think 4:15AM is going to be a more realistic time for me to get up in the morning in the next couple weeks. I am just having a hard enough time getting out the door and I know when the puppy, cold weather, etc is added to the mix, I'm really going to have a difficult time getting my act together and getting to the gym in time to have a full hour workout. I can't compromise the time, getting an hour workout in that meets the intensity and allows for enough recovery time and cardio time is challenging, anything shorter than that and I'm afraid I wouldn't be doing enough.
My goal this week is to get to the gym BY 5AM M-F. Monday is down, so 4 more to go! I got this!
