Set an alarm that just repeats every day, so regardless of what happens, it’ll wake you up in the morning at gym time?
i have no idea why i don’t set an alarm. i also want to state that my husband never wants to wake me. he says i’m not nice when he wakes me. me? not nice when you wake me? Never!
and i wasn’t (won’t be) able to get to the gym either. i’m super stressed out about it too. i’ve been like a bottomless pit all day. for example
- waffle
- drumstick ice cream
- black bean burrito w/ sour cream
- hummus w/ritz crackersÂ
- club sandwich (ooooh Bacon!)
- tortilla chips
- Reese’s PB cup
it may not be a lot but it sure pack on a ton of calories. then because i didn’t exercise it just makes it worse. i hate having a gym member ship and not being able to use it even though i really want to. i’m currently trying to get the Zo to sleep in until 7am so i can go to the gym early. instead he wakes up at 12am, 2am then finally 5am.
i hate going to the gym too late because then i can’t sleep and i know i need as much sleep as possible when i wake up 3 times a night.
it just seems like there is so much working against me. the first week of the new year started off pretty badly as far as exercise goes. i was doing so well waking up at 5am to go to the gym a couple months ago. i’ve been so exhausted lately because Enzo has decided to start waking up all night long so when 5am rolls around i just snooze my alarm and well, no gym for me.
so i kept thinking i’d do a workout video on demand in the morning while the kiddo ate breakfast. ummm, since when did we downgrade our cable and lose our on-demand channels? oh yeah in December when we decided we needed to downsize most of our expenses. CRAP!!
FINE! i was planning on starting fresh this week. i was up early and headed to the gym so stoked to finally get my first workout in for the year. the gym was closed, lights off, no one there at all. the guy who opens the gym in the mornings had some sort of personal problem and couldn’t be there. UGH!
so i went for a walk. i guess it’s a pretty great slow, ease into it start to exercising but still it’s been a challenge. as far as my eating goes i’ve been doing really great keeping under my daily calories except for that one day where i went 600calories over. whoops.
Monday morning was my grandmother’s funeral. i wore some black heels that i usually wear, i’m pretty good with these heels. now, walking through the cemetery grass after a weekend of rain in heels, probably not the best idea. i got stuck and toppled over and got mud all over my tights. my ankle is killing me. i’m not the most graceful person i know, because i’ve twisted my ankles many times before. i usually blame the shoes or my laziness top pick up my feet when i walk. this time it was just me, not thinking.
it was actually really funny at the time except now it’s not funny. i want to go to the gym but i fear i might make it worse.
lesson learned: don’t wear heels to the cemetery ever again.
hopefully i can get back into the gym sooner than later
what is the preferred time of day to get in a workout? i feel like morning works best for me because it really jump starts my day. if i don’t get my workout in the morning i feel like it won’t happen the rest of the day. any evening exercisers have some supportive words for me about getting to the gym at night? i’m just afraid it will keep me up with tons of energy in the evening when all i want to do is sleep.
I should have it in my hands tomorrow. hopefully I will get it after going to the gym. yes you read that right! i have a plan to hit the gym tomorrow morning. i’m hoping the kiddo stays asleep until I get back.
