Workout done! That was hard slogging. I guess that means I should celebrate it more! Because it means that even though it was tough and I was (still am) feeling pretty exhausted, I handled business.

Woke up at 4:45am. That was rough. Almost went back to sleep. But I keep telling myself the same thing… run through your routine and if after that you want to go back to bed, you can. So, I got up. Drank a cold glass of water (with a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar). Put water in the electric kettle and turned it on. Put coffee in the filter. Restroom, washed my face. Came back and poured hot water over coffee. Put on workout clothes. Did two sets of sit ups. Drank coffee (always decaf).

Today, I still wanted to go back to sleep. So I laid down and did a 3 minute meditation / breathing exercise to get some energy. After that I was out the door. Got to the gym by 5:30am. It was still dark outside.

Did cardio first. 15 minutes on elliptical. 10 minutes on bike. 15 minutes on treadmill. Then weights. Upper body. Then sit ups. I’m out. That was a good workout. Tough.

Walk back home. It’s about 7am.

Time to get ready for work. I’m still pretty exhausted. Might have to break down and drink regular coffee today. But it was worth it. Feeling proud that I got it done despite how tough it was.

Have a great day!
