I have never been a morning person.
However, in the past year I've learned that walking and running interval sprints is best done in the morning. Early morning. Dark-thirty before dawn early morning.
I get cranky if I don't. And the #1 Rule at High School is: DON'T MAKE MS. R CRANKY. Rule # 2 is--well, Rule #2 doesn't matter as long as you follow Rule #1.
Starlight. Moonlight. The change of colors in the sky. The wind. Right now, the very cold, uncomfortable wind. But it's invigorating wind. Birdsong. Owls. Deer. Silence. One with nature.
I really like getting up in the morning, now.
I haven't weighed in or taken measurements. My goal is to eat less processed food (organic frozen dinners I will allow for lunches at work until I get paid and can get the real food to cook). Eliminate processed sugar. Once a week, go meatless, wheatless, sweetless. Not all that hard. Animal protein is once a day (except for "meatless" day).
I don't think I can eliminate dairy at this point. Beef is pretty much a thing of the past. Will still eat bison and venison, fowl and fish. Limit pork.
And if I'm getting up at 4:40, I need to put the trash on the curb, get the cat in and go to bed.
I just love early mornins, so peaceful to me. and if I don't get that workout in early, well sometimes it just doesn't get done!
