I have picked up a horrible, horrible habit.
Several times over the past two weeks, I haven’t started working out until after 8pm. That leaves me with going to bed within a half hour of working out. No bueno. (Though I’m usually dead, so I have no problem passing out.) Because of various reasons, I’ve been putting off my daily P90X workouts, and it has felt absolutely terrible. The more time that passes in the night, the less motivated I get to work out at all. All I can say is…yay for having a built-in accountability partner from doing the program with Matt!
I typically prefer working out in the morning, but that isn’t always ideal since I need to be out of the house so early. Instead, I try to force in the daily workout within an hour of getting home from work at the end of the day. Lately, though, I’ve allowed myself to enjoy that time of doing absolutely nothing, and it has been divine. And so the late night workouts have become a trend.
This has led to me going in a downward spiral that involves lack of sleep and the following motivation to function every morning:

Guess I should work on this working out at a decent hour so I can catch some extra zzz’s.
Anyone else have this problem with putting off workouts? Do you like working out super late?

These Are a Few of My Favorite Things
Pullover Hoodie from Old Navy – I bought this sweatshirt on clearance about a month ago, and I’m obsessed with it.
Bruschetta Bar – Such a fun idea for catering to a crowd and having something for every taste!
Chocolate is Salad – Seems legit.
Chocolate Coconut Popsicles – Protein powder in popsicles = genius.
Chopped Brussels Sprouts with Dried Cranberries, Pecans & Blue Cheese – The thought of making a salad out of brussels sprouts greens fascinates me, and this combo of flavors looks deeeeelish.
Bruschetta bar is genius. I’ve never seen one of those before, but what a great idea for a bridal or baby shower.
RIght?! New concept to me too.
I do agree, that bruschetta bar looks pretty classy for certain crowds or occasions!
For sure! Seems to take care of that “I don’t know if everyone will like this” concern. Instead, you’re just all “Here’s some bread and toppings. Do what you want.”
Chocolate-I’m with you! I need a little everyday. I could never work out that late at night-I think I am in my pajamas by then. LOL
Haha I’d LIKE to be in my pajamas by then. I don’t see anything wrong with that. 🙂
That chocolate = salad thing has been one of my favorites since I first saw it. YES PLEASE! I wonder if chocolate+coconut water in frozen form would be more agreeable to me? I don’t like coconut water in and of itself (I don’t care for the consistency).
And you have to be kidding me with the Big Cups. Must have.
And mmmmmmm bruschetta. YYYES
The consistency, eh? I don’t usually like coconut water straight up because it tastes funky to me. I’ve definitely had chocolatey coconut water, though, and it’s surprisingly not bad!
Love the hoodie! Old Navy always amazes me with its affordable finds 😉
As for working out I have been loving getting them done in the early morning since I can now in the summer! Totally beats doing them after school in the evening!
Yes! It feels good to not have it hanging over your head all day.
Aww, coffee, I think we are kindred souls! 😉 That goodie looks comfortable.
That Old Navy hoodie looks awesome in every color, I must have at least one! And the Bruschetta Bar is an awesome concept, I think all my guests love it and I certainly do as well.
Hope you get back on track with working out! Keep posting!
