It can be really difficult to get motivated in the winter months, those blankets are awfully heavy. But, I\u2019ve gotten to be pretty good at getting out of bed and starting my day in the dark. At this point, it\u2019s really only getting light after I\u2019ve worked out, had coffee and showered and am finally dressed. That\u2019s a lot of stuff to get done while it\u2019s still dark.<\/p>\n
In fact, I like the dark when I\u2019m working out, it\u2019s seems more peaceful, but, now I\u2019ve got a new problem. It\u2019s pretty cold at 5:00 in the morning. I usually work out in a sports bra and shorts. No one sees me, it\u2019s easy and far less laundry needs to be done.<\/p>\n
But, it\u2019s cold!<\/p>\n
I\u2019m a self admitted weather wimp and I hate the cold. So, I know my definition of cold might not be up there with yours.<\/p>\n
But, it\u2019s still hard to get out of bed in the cold.<\/p>\n
Which brings me to my question for the day \u2013 which is worse \u2013 cold or dark?<\/p>\n
I pick cold for making it hard to get out of bed. The dark you seem to get use to, but the cold, just getting your feet on the floor can be too much. I try and think about my workout, about how it will make me warm and then a hot shower, but when I\u2019m under the covers and my nose is cold, it can be so hard.<\/p>\n
Dark is like anything, like crappy weather. You need to embrace it and just go for it. There is something very peaceful about working out in the dark, I like to feel like I\u2019m the only one up, which in my house, is the case.<\/p>\n
Let me know where you are with this. At least with the dark, I can turn on a light but the cold! Can\u2019t work out in my parka.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
