So I didn’t get up to exercise early yesterday. And I almost made it today, but a super sore, hurts-to-swallow throat last night sent me to bed early and kept me in bed as long as possible.

Why do I find it so hard to get up early in the morning to exercise? I know I’m not a morning person, but I should be able to overcome that, right?

It crossed my mind that perhaps it would be a good idea to simply establish the habit at the time of day at which I am at my best, or when it is easiest to get a workout in my routine, which is in the evenings. Then once I have the habit strong, I could attempt to move it to a more productive (metabolism-wise) time of the day – first thing in the morning after hopping out of bed.

I don’t have any research to support my theory, but I’m going to have to hope it’s right for now. Because yesterday and today were massive exercise FAILs, and I can’t afford to have any more of those.
