This is the first time I’ve left my workout until the evening. Honestly, 11 years in the Army really did give me a very strong psychological association between mornings and working out Then there is that link between precipitation and training exercises (aka “if it ain’t raining, we ain’t training”) but that is an entirely different ball of wax

When I work out in the morning I am full of energy and have the whole day in front of me. Also I haven’t showered yet

When I try to exercise mid day it seems like it breaks up the whole day. Either I have to wait to take a shower, or I’ve already showered and then have the unpleasant choice of being sweaty or taking time to take yet ANOTHER shower. . .

Leaving it until the evening is usually an even worse alternative. I know, we THINK that it would be easy to work out at night, after all the kids are in bed and everything is done. But by the end of the day it is soooo easy to just give up and put it off until tomorrow.

That’s what I wanted to do. I’m still bone tired from my trip (even with a long nap this afternoon). I had a migraine from hell last night that took 2 doses of my meds to get rid of, and it left me with a niggling headache today. Add to that “Auntie P” showed up today and I have cramps. I wanted to just say “the hell with it all”.

But I knew if I did I’d have to come on here and write some sort of lame post on why I didn’t exercise. Which is exactly why I am posting here! It forces me to have more accountability! So I did, and it’s thanks to you all.
