What gets your ass out of bed?

We were dedicated to it too. We ran in the snow, we ran on Christmas Day and in the summer when it was HOT, in Oklahoma, we would get up at 3 in the morning to beat the heat. We'd run and then come back home, do a shit ton of crunches (I mean like 300, no kidding) and then shower and go back to bed until time to get up for work. We also had a Jane Fonda period (not my fave).

We have continued to evolve and change our eating habits and work out habits. The trick is figuring out how to keep yourself motivated. I have been pretty successful with this game I play with my self, by asking myself a question in the morning that I can say yes to, because if I ask myself, Do you wanna get up and work out, the answer is always going to be NO. Saying NO results in rolling over to hit the snooze button. Who wants to get up an hour earlier than usual and work out? Few people can honestly answer that question with a yes, but how about, Do you wanna fit in your skinny jeans? I say yes to that every fuckin' time. I love the way I feel in my skinny jeans. I feel like walking around and saying look at my butt. The confidence that evokes is what gets my ass out of bed. I still have to play games with myself. It seems like it would get easier and I guess actually it has. We are in the habit of getting up, but we still have our challenges.

We also have an agreement that we don't ask each other if we wanna work out in the morning after the alarm goes off. We say whatever we want in our minds and we get up and put on the work out clothes. It helps a ton to have a work out buddy to help yourself be accountable.

I also think about my work outs and my healthy choices as making investments in my grandma self. The healthier I am today the healthier I will be when my grand kids show up and it feels so good to feel fit.

Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels and flavor fades quickly. Being fit lasts ALL DAY LONG.
