Have you ever????

5:45AM the alarm goes off you're tired, not enough sleep last night (as usual) and the last thing I wanted to do was get out of bed.  I hit the snooze button knowing I had no plans this evening and I could work out later.  Then you have this time between when your first alarm has gone off and the second wakes you.  I don't care how far apart these alarms are, 10 mins, 20 mins, 30 mins, in this time frame is when your body goes into the deepest possible sleep you could ever experience.  You're second alarm awakes you from your coma and you feel way more tired than you did with your first alarm went off. But now I have to get up to get my kids out of bed, fed and ready to go to school and counting my minutes until I leave.  The more I think about my normal morning routine the more my hopes for eating healthy start to wain.  As my minutes tick away the idea of caffeine and sugar sounds better and better.  I tell myself I can still work out later and it won't hurt to wait on my diet one more day.  Then I over eat and magically something comes up at that evening to keep me from working out and I think, ok tomorrow for sure.  Have you ever done this? Have you ever written off a whole day moving towards health the second your alarm goes off?  

Why do we do this, I know I am guilty of doing this many mornings.  I heard someone once say just get up and go pee.  That the second her alarm goes off the internal temper tantrum begins and she tells her self just get up and go pee.  Once she is going pee she tells her self ok now just put on your work out clothes on you can still go back to bed. Then she says it is very seldom that she will reach the point of being dressed in her work out clothes and she will still opt for that extra half hour of sleep.  It made me think of my whole focusing on my feet theory and how we need to just take one step at a time on our journey.  Step one just go pee....
