The Secret to Getting to the Gym in the Morning

Wow! I didn't think there would be so much interest in "the secret" but some of you have been talking about it and asking me about it in social media.  Sorry it took me an extra day to get this out.  I was busy with work and at the gym :)

So I am sorry to say but there really isn't a secret. You have to just get up and GO! We tend to over think things to much.  The more time you give yourself to talk yourself out of going the more likely you are to NOT go.

Here is analogy for you.  At my family's vacation spot in Maine there is a bridge everyone jumps off into the ocean.  Now this is not a huge bridge I see 10 year olds jumping.  But I have also seen grown adults psych themselves out.  You can always tell who is really going to do it.  The people who go up, step over the railing and just jump always go. But, the ones who go up there...look how far it is, think about it or even step over the railing and just hang there thinking it over almost NEVER jump.  They psych themselves out and give their mind enough time to talk themselves out of it.

It's the same thing in the morning. If you dilly dally and give yourself time to think about going back to bed (what I usually do) or other reasons not to go you will almost always talk yourself out of it.  But if you roll out of bed, go pee, get dressed, make that protein shake and get in the car you are probably not going to change your mind half way there.

Give it a try and let me know how it goes?!?

Finding my Umph Day 1

For almost a month now I have lost my umph, my drive, my excitement to workout.  I am not sure where I lost it...maybe it's under the bed or lost in that clutter I call a closet.  Either way I am not sure how to get it back.  I know I need to find it though before I start to back track, lose my followers or even worse lose it completely...forever :(

I have always done my best to be honest with my followers and show you the real experiences I am going through.  It keeps me accountable, helps me get through it faster and hopefully it will help one of you.

So I am going to dairy how I get my umph back..this is like how Stella Got Her Groove back.  Well minus the vacation and the younger man.....oh wait my bf is younger than me LOL. 

Today I woke up 5AM and the plan was to see Levi off to work and then go to the gym.  So Levi left around 5:45 and I...duddah...went back to bed.  Ooops!! I had really good intentions of going to the gym this morning but I got tired while waiting for him to leave.  Funny thing too, I went back to bed and then he came back to bring me my sneakers to find me in bed.  Ooops again!  I did go and get legs done after work but the gym is always soooo much more crowded at night.  Another reason i need to get there in the morning.  Tomorrow!  Tomorrow I am going!!
