I decided to start my morning workouts again. Yup, those 5am workouts Monday and Thursday that totally help my day start and allow me time in the evening to recoup. I know some of you think its crazy to do this and can't fathom how I function by 3pm, but your body gets used to it and then you just feel good.
When I moved back to the Fort I kept working out in the am and then realized I could sleep later and do it in the pm... Lovely I though more sleep! Argh. I then remembered the gym mob that occurs in the evenings, especially Monday evenings. I trudged through anyway because well I liked that sleeping til 6:09 am. But I noticed I was irritable in the evenings and never saw my house or pups. So, back on the morning train!
I admit it was hard to get to the gym yesterday at 530 am, but man I was relived to go home and just be at home all evening. I kept looking at my clock thinking it was later and realized it was only 7pm! So... I did what all women do in the evenings.. bake! I whipped up a little chocolate chip pumpkin bread! I also managed to spread flour everywhere and get pumpkin in my hair at one point, but the end result, pure yummy goodness in the form of spicy chocolaty goodness. I would show your pictures, but I forgot, what's new?
Even after the bread was done I had time to clean up, relax and enjoy a piece! I am so glad I decided to get back into the early morning swing of things and take back my evenings! Now I just wish the gym had the same great kickboxing class my old one did... perhaps its back to yoga? Happy Tuesday!
*in critter news... where there is one there are 5-8 (according to a friend who has taken to googling about my critters and their "habits.") aka I saw another one, thank goodness my exterminator is coming this week!
Morning workouts are so nice! The first week back it's hard, but having the evenings free is so amazing! GOOD FOR YOU! I need to get on it asap.
ReplyDeleteI can't get up that early to work out--it takes me too much time to get ready in the mornings if I worked out (shower, drying hair...ugh). I'm sure it would be nicer and I'd definitely not lose my motivation as much as I do now (altho that's gotten better since getting engaged and knowing I have a dress that I need to fit in under 6 months). I admire people who can get up early and work out!
ReplyDeleteSo proud of you for getting up early to work out. You're my inspiration! Yay for yoga! If I could make the time to get back to yoga I would - and hope to one day soon!:)
ReplyDeleteUGH - those critters need to be evicted asap!
Good for you! I work kinda far from my home so i already have to get up early. Then when i get off of work, i'm so tired and have terrible traffic home, i dont feel like working on. I know- excuses. I've got to do something!
ReplyDeleteGood for you, that will totally start your day on the right foot!
