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
