Or is it everything new is old again? I’m flummoxed so let us turn to our trusty Google…
Huh. Turns out both phrases are sayings so I guess we’ll start fresh.
I’m on Day Two of — trumpets please — returning to the gym. Seriously, that one deserves trumpets.
I’ve agreed to be gym buddies with my daughter which apparently has motivated me in ways multiple health professionals saying you would greatly benefit from a regular exercise regimen has not. This tracks seeing as I’ve always put the people I love first.
Well, that and the fact I prefer sleeping in. And by “prefer” I mean I’m irrationally angry when it’s still dark out and my synapses aren’t truly firing until around nine. So there’s that.
BrightSide and the daughter usually go to the gym at SIX IN THE MORNING HOURS. I cannot even with that sentence. I mean, really? 6am is the hour you choose for leaving home and getting on a treadmill? Except the whole school/job outside the home thing kind of ties their hands when it comes to free time for working out.
Still, I think we can all agree 6am is a time best left to foraging squirrels and people shouting Time To Make The Donuts!™
1984 was a cutting edge era for marketing agencies.
As the youngster did not have classes yesterday she and I worked out around ten-ish but I still demand props for getting to the gym — with a teenager, no less — on a holiday. Then we had our 6am outing today. Three days left to go and we’ll have knocked it out of the park this week.
All the best Laura. Kids are great motivators.

My son and made an agreement to exercise for 20 minutes 3 days a week, and if we don’t fulfill that commitment, we have to put $5 in the pot. We’re starting slowly, because I’m old – nearly ancient. So far, so good.

Ooh! Money motivation, I get that. Plus maybe bragging rights to boot. I’m partnering up to help so the daughter’s terms apply and she wants to work out Monday – Friday. Every day! Plus probably Saturday once basketball season is over. 😭 it is a lot for my tired body 😂

I’m up then, but no way would I work out before maybe 8am. Must have hot shower and coffee before I can be a human again 😂
Props to you!

The coffee piece is SO important. It was my reward for going. 🙂 Back in the day when I went to the gym it was around 8:30 — early, but not cry in your car early. 😉

I get up at 5am to get to work. I always think, when I leave the house at 5.30, only ghosts and stars are up willingly.

😂 Well put! I’m very curmudgeonly about it but when I’m not being a giant cranky pants I do see how there’s a certain peaceful quality to being awake with the ghosts and stars.
