I am SO proud of myself for making it to the gym today, my first time since breaking my foot in October. It was so crowded that I had to wait ages for a treadmill, and I only had 25 minutes to do my thing, but getting there is always 99% of the battle. Yay me! (Inserting photo of my totally rocking fitness teammates below. You may now hold the awards ceremony.)
And this brings me to my list of LA Fitness peeves: Why don’t they enforce time limits on the cardio equipment, especially in Jan/Feb, when everyone and his dog is at the gym? Why do they open so ding and also dang late on the weekend? My kids don’t sleep in; ergo, I don’t sleep in. I do, however, get up at the same time I always do Monday through Friday, and yes, early morning is still the only time I have to work out. Grrrr.
Melissa, I am so proud of you!
I have let my gym membership lapse for months. Every night I think, “Man, I need to work out in the morning before work.” But I wake up exhausted and snooze instead. I just need to realize I will never be “rested enough” to choose exercise over sleep. I just have to do it.
