Monday was my closest day yet......

December 21/15

So after a busy weekend with early alarms on both Saturday (6am for a 7am soccer game) and Sunday (8am for a 10am shopping excursion) this morning rolled around way too early for me.

This morning when my alarm went off at 5am I admit to being less than thrilled at the prospect of leaving my warm and comfortable bed to trudge my way through the cold and damp morning to work myself weary at the gym.  Little did I know that it was not only cold and damp but also wet with rain having fallen during the night.

I flipped the alarm off and settled back in for some more sleep telling myself that taking the day off from working out wouldn't be the end of the world, and it in truth it really wouldn't, but after laying there for a moment I realized how easy it would be to start skipping days and blaming it on feeling too tired or sore.

I had a little discussion with inner me and made the point that I'm more than willing to get up to play a round of golf in the summer as I enjoy it so why not make that same commitment to my gym plan as I'm really starting to enjoy it, hopefully seeing even more benefits this summer with increased energy and more options at playing back to back days :)

So I dragged myself out of bed, got my gear together, had a piece of toast with some yogurt and off I went to the gym.

Thirty minutes working my way through the equipment that Connor has me using and then another thirty on the treadmill left me a nice little endorphin high and proud of myself for powering past my first lazy thoughts.

I'll be back tomorrow for another solo workout, letting Connor kick my ass even some more on Wednesday, and possibly back on Thursday since I'll be skipping Xmas day given that the gym is closed.  As you know I don't like to spend time in crowded malls so Boxing Day won't find me at any sales but more than likely doing my circuit once more.

Today was a close one and I'm sure there will come others down the road but I'm going to do my best to power through them as I'm sort of liking the initial results so far and think at some point others might notice as well........I can dream can't I?
