Have you ever had the urge to workout? Have you ever craved push-ups or sit-ups or maybe, just maybe, lifting some weights?
If you have . . . GREAT! If you haven't, then I feel your pain!
I never want to exercise. Don't get me wrong. I love how I feel afterwards and I love knowing that I have done something good for my body.
But when it comes down to it, I just don't crave exercise! EVER!
Oh how I wish that I did though! I know that it would be so much better for me if I did. Yet the thought of it makes me feel exhausted before I have even started!
In order for me to exercise, I would need to get up at 5:30 a.m. to get at least 30 minutes of cardio in. For those of you that know me on a more personal level, you will all know that I am by no means a morning person. I love to stay up late with the quiet of the house after every one has gone to sleep.
I tried to workout today after work, but what a sad workout it was. I pushed through and I did my 30 minutes of cardio on my bike, but it was HARD! Definitely much harder then if I were to workout in the morning. For some reason, despite having to wake up so early, I find my morning workouts much easier to get through then I do after a hard day of work.
It is just that early morning factor that I am having an extremely hard time getting used to. I like to think that my husband is right when he says that it will get easier over time. At least one can hope that it will right? I am so thankful that there is a nice, hot cup of coffee waiting for me once it is all said and done!
I just want to be one who craves exercise instead of craving food. I know that it is possible to get to that point, but I question how long it takes for someone to get there.
I know that it takes time to make something a habit, but is exercising something that just becomes a habit or are we truly capable of craving our workout time?
Tonight I shall go to bed with the satisfaction that I have started this week off right . . . .and maybe some muscle rub for my tired and sore legs!
