Getting up in the morning at 5am is sure difficult at times. Today, for example, I woke up, stumbled around the room a bit trying to stagger in a general direction towards the bathroom scale, all the time trying mentally to convince myself that it is too damn early and to go back to bed. I must have stood at my mirror for a good 5 minutes trying to come up with a variety of justifications not to do my workout today. I ended up then just saying "screw it" and went over to put on my gym clothes.
I believe most of the difficulty in working out every day is not the actual exercise, but somehow its related to motivating myself to just get dressed to go work out. Because once I am dressed, I stop arguing with myself and just head out the door. Go figure.
Today, after the mental battle, I did a 30 minute level 7 cross-training aerobic elliptical machine workout which tallied up 3.3 miles, and then did a HIIT-based 30 minute stationary bike workout at level 8 for 10.8 miles. Generally it was a pretty good workout, and I only needed to put on my magic gym clothes to motivate my butt out the door to go do it.
I am still weighing at about 208 pounds.
