My friend Jeanne and I both are trying to get into better shape. We both have YMCA memberships and for the past month or so we've been trying to get into a routine of working out together in the morning before work.
Last night we planned to both go to an hour long Body Pump class at 5:45am. My plan was to walk to the gym (1 mile), go to class and then walk back home. Then I proceeded to stay up too late watching a movie.
When my alarm went off at 5am, I snoozed it. At 5:30am, I started writing a text to Jeanne. It went something like this... "good morning. I stayed up to late and won't be able to make it to class this morning..." I just laid there in bed looking at my phone.
Then I remembered why I was doing this. I remembered I told her I would be there. I remembered how good I feel after a morning workout. I remembered that I want this... I want to lose weight and become healthier.
And with that, I deleted the text and got out of bed. Because I snoozed too long, I wasn't able to walk to the gym. But I'm so glad that I got of bed and worked out!
I never regret a workout when it's done and I'm all sweaty!
So... I'm so thankful for having a workout partner to help keep me motivated and accountable!
