This is one of my daily dilemas. The cycle literally repeats itself.
Evening: I’m going to get everything together tonight so I can get up early and work out before work. I set my alarm. I set the coffee maker to auto start. I count the hours of sleep I may get.
Morning: My alarm goes off and I immediately hit snooze. Again and again and again and again. At some point, I shut it off and my internal clock goes off with very minimal time for me to even get to work on time. I get ready, pack my lunch and run out the door with coffee in hand.
While at work: Tonight I’m going to work out when I get home. I’ll have a small snack in the car so I can have some fuel to workout. I’m going straight to the treadmill when I get there and I’ll eat dinner afterwards.
When I get home: WOW, dinner smells good!! Maybe I’ll just eat dinner with the fam right away. That’ll give me enough time to spend time with the fam, let my food settle and I’ll get a workout in before bed.
After dinner: Food coma has now set in and my rear has grown roots to the couch. I fall asleep on the couch and miss my window for a workout because I’ll finish too late and not get enough sleep.
And repeat.
Sometimes I’m successful in the evening workout. I can probably count on one hand the number of times I’ve gotten a morning workout done. I’m real good at planning. It’s the follow through that gets me.
Does this happen to you? When do you prefer to work out? Morning or evening?
**UPDATE** I DID get my workout in this evening. I wasn’t going to, but my son did his and I couldn’t NOT do mine. Who’s setting the example for who?
