My New Morning Routine and Why it is Important
This is the hill I have been walking up in the morning. It may not look like much from the picture, but it winds down quite a bit more. It's a pretty big hill and it feels great every time I conquer it!
You may have heard me talk about my morning walks on the air. I've never been one to set my alarm to get up and exercise (sleep is valuable), but I have been setting my alarm for 6 a.m. every day (even weekends) for the past two weeks.
The reason is simple; I'm trying to get in better shape. I have been seeing my doctor every few months to check on progress and I needed to do something other than watch what I eat. Life gets busy and it's hard to set time aside for you, but it's worth it. My doctor stressed the importance of making time for myself, so that's what I did.
It's not always easy to get up, but I always feel so good once I get back to the house and see how many steps I have on my Fitbit. The past two days I have conquered a hill that I thought it would take me months to walk up without hurting, but I think I was just psyching myself out to give myself an excuse not to try it. When I get to the top of the hill it feels great and I feel so energized.
What's my reason for writing this? I know it's not easy to make time for you, but if you find yourself stressed and not having a lot of time, try setting the alarm for a little earlier in the morning. I have felt so much better since I started doing this and if I can do it, you can do it too. Trust me...I really like my sleep ;-)
