And So It Begins.
4:15am (alarm goes off): Huh? Wha? Oh my God it’s the middle of the night…need more sleep…maybe I should just work out tonight…so tired…I think I hear rain…my new sneakers are going to get dirty….definitely working out tonight…(large sigh, climb out of bed).
4:50am (arrive at the bus stop, fiddle with my mp3 player) Ah sh*t! So glad I put the rock mix on. This song rocks! Ok, I’m waking up a bit (start bopping head to Stupify-by Disturbed).
5:10am (on the treadmill running in intervals) Pain is weakness leaving the body…visualize yourself running in the body you want…muscular legs, flat stomach…visualize…Check out your muscles flexing!…Go!…Breathe!!!…This is mine, no one can take this away from me…
5:45am (on the leg press) So heavy….push…push…this is nothing, I can lift more than this…this is light…now is when the magic happens, when I don’t think I can do anymore…I can push past this, I can get these reps out (pump out all of my reps, add an extra 2 reps for good measure)
6:00am (walking to the barbells) Lady are you serious? Was it necessary to bathe in perfume to come work out?!
6:10am (doing deadlifts) Ok, I make some serious ugly faces when I’m working out…scary…
6:30am (walking out of the gym) Yes…it’s over! I kicked ass and took names! Ugh, I can barely walk…ow…ow…ow…
6:50am (waking up hubby) Hey baby, I’m home (kiss, kiss, kiss)…What?…Well yeah I’m funky, I just came back from the gym! (stomp off to take a shower)
6:52am (walk back into the room and give him an extra whiff of gym funk, just because I can!)
And that was my morning.
