Day 4!

Today was rough. I did not want to get out of bed. I put in my DVD and realized not only did I still have my glasses on, but I looked down at my bare feet and sighed. I walked to the kitchen with a walk similar to Frankenstein's monster, and I ate an apple. I put in the contacts, put on my shoes, filled up the water bottle, and finally I was ready.

After the warm up, I felt wide awake. I struggled through the work out, and had to pause for a minute after my son woke up briefly. I went right back to the workout. I didn't realize how much I struggle with crunches. I am definitely the person who pulls on my neck with all my strength until I hear "Don't pull on your neck". I know I have a short torso, but that only hinders me with touching my toes, and you would think it would help with crunches? As much as I struggled, I didn't even realize I was down to the last excercise because I was so focused on how weak I felt today. When I realized it was the last excercise, I realized it wasn't so bad, AND I got my workout in for the day, so I didn't have to struggle later or make excuses for not working out like I usually do.

I think the best advice I have seen lately was, "Workout in the morning. Get it out of the way!". Plus, you might be so tired you won't even realizing how much work you're doing. Unless you aren't doing things to your full potential, then yes, that could be bad.

Honestly, still - telling myself, "One minute at a time!" has been my savior. I hope everyone is having a great morning!
