Last Night I told you I was going to make an effort to get up early to work out. And I did it! I am so proud of myself.
Normally I have my alarm set to go off so that I can snooze twice before I have to get up. I did the same last night but set the time about 45 minutes earlier. I did snooze twice, as usual, and spent a few minutes in my warm cozy bed arguing with myself about whether or not to get up.
I did some prep work last night. I thought I was going to be really ambitious and do part of of a The Firm workout video that I have had collecting dust for several years. I was definitely intimidated just watching it, and I wasn’t sure I would have the coordination to do the workout first thing after I got out of bed. I opted for an easier video to ease me into my morning workouts.
I used the pre-set lower body workout on Denise Austin’s Hit the Spot – Five 10 Minute Target Toners video. It was a nice, not to intense way to try to start getting into a morning workout routine. I am so out of shape that it did offer a challenge and I do have plenty of other at-home workout options that I can grow into once I get used to getting up earlier and working out on a regular basis.
I am hoping I have the discipline and motivation to keep it up.
After working out I was starving. I toasted a whole English muffin and had it 2 ways.
First I had half with 1/2 wedge of laughing cow, hummus, and bell pepper strips and half with PB&J. As you can see I was a little messy with the grape jelly.
This was so yummy, but I wish I had added more protein because it didn’t take too long for me to get hungry again.
So I had an apple.
I am still starving though so I need to get something else to hold me over til lunch. Looks like my options are Kashi Honey Sesame crackers, Peanuts and Cashews, or popcorn. Hmm….
