I'm Changing...

This whole process is changing my mindset about a lot of things, and when I say mindset - its because I definitely had a "set" mind. One of the things I did NOT do was workout in the morning. Hmmmph! You have to get up early for that. It's bad enough that my dog has an internal alarm clock that is set at 6:30am, but the earliest for any physical activity was 8am-ish(and only on weekends - why would anyone ever consider getting up earlier than necessary on a day you had to work?) . Well ever since Dre said I needed to do cardio, cardio, cardio - I was like when am I going to fit all this in if I don't do something in the mornings. Being blessed to have a treadmill at home, a few weeks ago I started getting up at 6am so I could do cardio and some of my 300s. And this week I actually went to the gym in the morning (gasp!) That means I had to get up at 5:15 so I could be there at 6am (WTF?). Well after a long day yesterday (over 4.5 hours of working out) I decided I was going to sleep in today (I'm sooo TIRED!!). I wasn't going to get on my treadmill at home, I wasn't going to go to the gym, I would sleep until 7:30 and then worry about the hour I missed this evening... Well, I really didn't enjoy my extra sleep because I felt GUILTY because I hadn't worked out this morning (who is this person, I certainly don't know her). I called my job and told them I would be in late. Why? So I could do my morning workout...usually that call is only made after that one extra martini that I knew I shouldn't have had the night before! This is a whole new concept for me...feeling GUILT as the result of skipping a workout!?! Wow! I guess this is what it feels like when a new behavior really becomes a habit. Until next time...
