I Got Out Of Bed At 5am To Go Running

by Fit Dad on May 23, 2009

Hi, Fit Dad here,

Just a quick update. I’m trying to get into the habit of waking earlier in the morning so that I can get my exercise in first thing. That way it’s done and it doesn’t allow me to procrastinate. It also minimises the chances of other random events preventing me from exercising.

It’s an approach I’ve tried before and it worked well for me, it really helped me to lose weight, but I have to be honest, it’s a real pig getting out of bed at 5am.

I managed a 30 minute cross country run today. I put in a little more distance this time but I didn’t push very hard today as my legs and feet were a little sore.

Having done the exercise so early in the day I also feel I have something to protect in terms of what I allow myself to eat. Having bothered to get out of bed so early I don’t want to negate that feat of will-power by over eating.

Waking at 5am sounds like a drastic measure but I want to Lose The Fat and I know I have to make sacrifices to to it.

The alarm is set for 5am tomorrow too!

I’ll be back later with weights, measurements and a picture.

Be healthy!

Fit Dad

One of the most recent videos showed Zuzana doing an exercise that caught my attention because it’s something that can be done at home without special equipment. Whilst I wouldn’t want to base my entire fitness [...]

I Don’t Want To Still Be 30lbs Overweight In Three Months Time

Hi, It’s going well. I managed another twenty minute cross country run yesterday (Sunday) and this evening I ran a mile and a half on the road. I didn’t time the road run but it was probably around the 12 minute mark (fairly slow). Many moons ago when I was in better shape I ran [...]

A Return To Fitness Training

Hi, I’ve been away from my blog for a little while but that’s because I had nothing to report. I had a false re-start after my cold. I managed to injure myself doing nothing in particular. I didn’t want to post anything until I’d started exercising again. I get fed up talking about stuff I’m [...]
