Here I am again, waiting for the gym to open. I started doing AM exercising in the spring when it began to get too warm for lunchtime hikes (which ended up being ironic as I made several lunchtime excursions during the heat of Alabama June, July, and August). Back then, however, I was getting up at 6 AM and doing an hour of walking. I was so hard to wake up at 6! As the months progressed, I began getting up earlier and earlier so I could get in more exercise; adding weight training and stair climbing. Now I have my alarm set for 4:30, but over the past few weeks I have been waking up at 4.
No use going back to sleep for 30 minutes, I am now getting here before the gym opens and spending 2 hours working out. If someone told me a year ago, I would be getting up at 4 in the morning and spending 2 hours working out, I would never believed it. Would not think it was even a possibility.
So, anyone who thinks this can't be done, anyone who thinks their weight loss goal is never going to happen, know that if this guy who, a year ago liked to sleep 10-12 hours a night and then play video games can do this, you can too. As Nike says, just do it.
Time to begin 10th straight 5+ mile day. Join me! [Fitbit friend me too!]
