Yep that’s me…the tall one in the back row.
Several things happened today that brought to mind thankfulness. Its amazing how much more observant I can be when I have a reason to be focused.
What I’ve decided to share tonight is my amazingly early workout this morning. I joined a boot camp group, at the invitation of a friend, at 4:30AM.
I actually love early morning workouts. I enjoy the energy I feel after getting up early and pushing myself to the point of noodle arms!
What I hate is waking up early!
I frequently try to get up early for workouts but I’ve learned if someone isn’t waiting for me at a predetermined location…I will never roll out of bed.
I am grateful that my friend invited me to join her this morning and I’m also thankful that I am able to exercise. I know so many people that are fighting disease, disability and/or other mental or physical challenges that I realize I am fortunate to have the physical ability to be active.
So guess what I have decided to do 3 days a week? Yep! I’m going to be working out at 4:30AM.
Am I crazy…yep! But I’m also excited about this new adventure and grateful for the opportunity!
Conversations Around the Tree 
Wow! That’s really early but looks worth it.
I think it will be!
I just got myself a personal trainer but, unfortunately he’s not a morning person. So the earliest I could get him for was 8 am. And then the night before he calls me and asks if I can do 9, sometimes 10. I finally told him it has to be 8. So I see him at 9 on on Wednesdays and Fridays.
If you happen to be in Fort Worth on a M, W or F you can stop in for a real early morning workout!! 😉
Thanks for commenting Emilio!!
I am also very grateful to have the ability to exercise and be active – but I would probably draw the line at 4:30 am …unless it was for biking! 🙂
I saw a guy biking in the dark around 6am yesterday…it feels so unsafe in the dark!! one of the nice things about the early morning workouts….frees up my evenings for biking!!
4:30 in the morning!! Great walk, Tree!
Thanks Amy!
I didn’t know there was a 4:30am. 4:30pm, yes!
Just kidding. I’m up at 4:45, but not moving until 6. I like to exercise at night, then I can plop in bed.
I get energized when I exercise and have a hard time winding down when I exercise at night 😴💤
The only reason I’m ever up at 4:30 am is because I couldn’t sleep and I haven’t gone to bed yet.
… which is exactly what would happen if I committed to an early morning anything. I’d be so worried about getting up at 4:30 am, I’d be awake all night.
Yikers, Tree!! You’ve definitely earned a gold star!
LOL! I’m naturally a night person….4:30am certainly doesn’t come naturally for me. But I got this!! And I’ll wear my gold star proudly!!
