Off to the Gym.....

[B-52 7,113]

It's 4:30am, having my morning coffee.....took 15gm pure Liquid Protein, Vitamins and Omegas, then off to the gym when they open at 5am....then after my workout I will have a high Protein recovery shake, another 30 gm protein, which will also be my Breakfast....

I will also drink my 32oz container of Water during and after my workout.....

I've been doing this for over 2 years now, and every morning I still can't wait to get to the gym.....

In the beginning, you start small....but even then you have small victories......which feel so good that it makes you want to come back to experience more little victories.....then more and more and before you know it you're hooked!

Working out is so rewarding, makes me feel so good and positive, motivated, that if I miss a day I am depressed...feel like crap!

And the small successes feel so good that you want to achieve higher successes....so you push yourself to do a little better...even if it's only 10 minutes.....and on and on it goes....

It is very easy to understand why where ever you go, you see people jogging in all sorts of places...streets, parks...beaches...everywhere....

They do not do it because they have to....they do it because it is the one thing in their life that brings the largest victory / reward...an overwhelming feeling of accomplishment....bringing with it CONFIDENCE, STRESS RELIEF (clears your mind) INCREASE OF ENERGY, POSITIVE MENTAL STATE....

And that is not even getting into the physical rewards such as weight management, muscle/body toning....

And then there is the "Runner's High".........

This is awesome.... but I have to ask, what time do you go to bed??? I'm just now waking up at 11am, but I went to bed at 3am.... so our run will be in the afternoon today

I am usually up at 6am, but you know. Weekend the advantage of being up all night is the extra calorie burning from all the dancing.
