Dark Days, Slow Bodies

When it's still dark when you get up, and the rain is pouring down, and you oh so slowly drag your unwilling body out of your warm bed, do you hit the showers, make some coffee, or go to the gym? Maybe you do all three. Here's a suggestion. Have the coffee on a timer, so it's ready to go as soon as you get up. Have a big (8-12 oz) glass of water, have some coffee, grab an easy to transport snack (banana, protein bar, or similar), and head to the gym. Don't think about how tired you are, don't think about all the stuff you have to do that day. Just get up and GO. By the time you're done at the gym, you are energized, and everything else falls into place, because both your body as well as your brain got a great am boost. You are ready to face the day.
