How often to you say that to your self? Well why not every day and often. It’s also a great response to “how did you do that?”. I’ve never tried it but my hubby tends to respond sarcastically that way all the time. But today (sarcasm aside) I’m amazing.
I decided yesterday that today i would get up early and work out. (thanks to a great post by Stephanie). I’m kind of a nerd/athlete, and get way to excited about working out. I know that in the morning i always have a million reasons not to get out of bed early. So i wrote down reasons (something that I would care about before the sun came up) to get out of bed.
Peace of Mind
Regular Schedule
Balance
Energy
Health
Confidence…Ding Ding Ding We have a winner
For me that is the numero uno thing that gets me up. My mind was wondering so much of all the possibilities and all my dreams that i couldn’t sleep. Then (don’t tell him i told you) my hubby started snoring (only when he has a bit of a cold). 5 hours later i was asleep. So asleep that i didn’t hear my alarm until the lyrics hit. I thought about how much sleep i got, then i thought how much better i would sleep tonight if i got up and exercised. I counted to 3 then got out of bed (I’ve done that since i was in High School. Now it’s to a point where i don’t want to break my record or let my self down.).
Yea! I’m wasted, i won’t lie, but I’m happy and confident, just like the little piece of paper said on my night stand. Now, i just need to change my cell phone alarm to something that starts with music. Today Biz is doing a giveaway and all you have to do is leave your favorite motivational song. Well, my favorite is still “Suddenly I See” by KT Tunstall
“The power to Be,
The power to Give,
The power to See…”
Those three words inspire me to be greater, and get out of bed. So I’ll try that tomorrow for my wake up call. Yes, tomorrow. Every day for the rest of my life. To me that’s exciting, but i love working out, and i love the way i feel afterward. I’m finally taking charge and making it happen.
What are some tricks you use to reach fitness goals?
Happy V-Day Love you all! – FS
