How is it that no matter how early I go to bed on a Sunday night, or how much rest I get over the weekend (which on most weekends is NOT the case) I still manage to feel incredibly tired on Monday mornings?? Don't get me wrong, I love my job, I'm a huge fan of "routine" and there is something that calms me about getting back into work after a weekend, BUT it's the getting up, and getting OUT of bed part that gets me every week. Not just on Monday's either, lately this has been an every day occurrence.
Please don't bother yourself with worries that I am depressed, because that is most certainly not the case. I am just trying to figure out how I used to be able to pop out of bed before 5am most days of the week and get my butt to the gym and then show up to work before 8 and ready to rock.
Now I'm definitely at work AROUND 8, and ready to rock, but I don't feel as energized because I haven't gotten my workout in. Now it seems that extra 5, 10, 15 minutes that the snooze button allots me is absolutely priceless. This is a mere illusion, because that extra 15 minutes turns into an hour most mornings, and leaves me rushing and feeling less energized by the time I get out the door.
SO... what to do now? I think it's an important commitment to make to myself (again) to get up at LEAST 3 mornings a week to exercise before work and ideally 4 mornings, because let's face it 5 mornings is just a little too advantageous, and I don't want to bear the feeling of "falling short" if I don't achieve getting to the gym M-F!
So here's to less snoozing and a little more action!!!
