Are you sleeping in later? Setting the alarm clock early enough to get a morning workout in, then slapping the snooze button until you’re almost late for work… sound familiar?  Trust me, you’re not alone. Today, Jacki Donaldson shared some of her excuses on not getting up early enough to get the morning workout in. I thought they were great ones. Because almost all of these have run through my head. Check it out, and post some of your excuses (if you have any).  Like they say - admitting the problem is half the battle…

Maybe I need to train for something, like a 5K or a 15K, something to keep me focused and goal-oriented. Maybe I need to keep records and chart my daily accomplishments. This way, I can challenge myself to do more, to do better, or to just keep plugging away. Maybe I need to create a personal “reasons list.” You know, a list of why I exercise: Too stay healthy, to fit into my clothes, to show my kids I’m dedicated to physical fitness. This might keep my head in the game. Maybe I need new running shoes. I love shoes. Maybe I need to switch up my tunes. Music drives me. I’ve been listening to the same songs on my MP3 player for a long time now. Perhaps it’s time for a change.
