That is what time my alarm goes off when I want to work out in the morning. 4:45 am is also the time that I have been silencing my phone and resetting it to 5:30 or 6:00 and going back to sleep. I have done this each morning that I have planned on working out since my last post (I MIGHT have worked out once…cannot say for sure).
Obviously, I need to use this blog in a more honest way instead of just not writing anything when I don’t work out. For the past few weeks I have been looking for my motivation. Muddy Buddy has come and gone and I don’t wake up with the fear of showing up for the race and realizing that I am not going to make it to the end because of my lack of working out, so my previous reason for early workouts is no longer.
I do believe that I have found something motivating enough to get myself out of bed in the morning. This weekend, while in Dallas, I did a little shopping with Mom and Maria. Turns out that I have been wearing jeans that way too big and I was able to buy a pair of size 12’s!!!!!!! The last time that I wore size 12 was in high school and that is a BIG motivator to get going in the mornings. It would really suck to only fit into my new jeans for a short time because of my laziness.
My plan is to take it one day at a time, starting with getting up at 4:45 tomorrow morning and doing the cardio workout on Power 90. I also plan on blogging each day about my workout (or lack there of) that day. Hopefully that will be some added motivation to workout as I don’t want to say day after day that I didn’t workout.
You and me, Ria. We’ve got this thing!
