Working Out Early - I Am NOT A Morning Person

Yesterday Samuel and I discussed going to the gym this morning before we went to work. Actually I was the one who brought up the topic on this particular day. Samuel had pondered it before but I had always rejected it because I am not a morning person at all.

So last night before bed, I went back and forth on whether I was going to actually go to the gym. Samuel was getting very frustrated with me because I would not make up my mind and commit to going to the gym. Finally I decided to go the gym and it was decided - the final decision: I would go to the gym.

Now there are a few reasons that I tried to avoid/back out/skip out on going to the gym in the morning. The major reason being that I am not a morning person. The second is that each time we talked about it, the time that we needed to get up in the morning kept getting earlier and earlier.

At first, the agreed compromise time was 6:30 am...then 6:00 am...then we really needed to get to the gym by 5:30 am at the latest...but then when he thought about it we really needed to be there by 5:00 am and probably should get up at 4:30 am so that we could go to the store before-hand....

I joked with Samuel that by next week we would be waking up at 3:15 am so that we could REALLY get a good workout...

So at 4:30 am my alarm went off (actually Sam's alarm went off and woke me up) - yes that is right..his alarm was so loud it went from his room across two rooms and woke me up in my bedroom on the opposite side of the house....

I woke up cursing him and wanting to just slap the son of a bitch...

So we arrive at the gym around 5:30 after going to the store - we do a workout of lower body and abs and cardio - as usual Sam did work out harder than I did....

I am just lucky I didn't collapse from it being so early in the damn morning...

After the workout, Samuel and I hit starbucks for a little coffee and the paper. That was the part I really liked - anyone who knows me, know that I LOVE my coffee and a newspaper...

So looking back on the whole experience...yes it was hard, but I actually did like getting my workout done in the morning...I felt energized until around 5:30 pm when I was ready to crash...

So will I be going to workout anymore in the mornings....

Abso-fucking-lutely NOT!

I hate getting up in the mornings....didn't you guys read the title of this post? :-)
