Tuesday 09/21/2010-why is is so difficult to get out of bed at 5am? Anyone???

So the question of the day is this....why is it so difficult to get out of bed at 5am to workout?? I know in my head what the problem is...I need to get myself to bed before 10:30-11:00pm.  This takes discipline!  We all lack discipline in certain areas of our lives, and only by God's grace are we able to overcome these areas of weakness and make lasting changes.  It is a process.  For a very long time I didn't have the discipline to even make to the gym at all, so the fact that for the last 9 months missed workouts have not been an option for me, even though I HATE doing them after work, I have found the discipline to get it done, even when I don't feel like it.  My discipline for the way I ate was lacking, but within the last 9 months I have become more disciplined in what I put into my body.  Now it is time to conquer the next challenge, the early morning workouts.  I know from experience that doing this first thing in the moring is better for me in so many aspects.  I have more energy all day, it enables me to eat dinner at a better hour, I am not taking away from the time I can be spending at home at my kids.  So today I need to make it a priority to get all of my stuff done and get to bed by a decent hour so that I can get up tomorrow at 5am and work out.  I ask this, Dear God, I know that you know my life is busy and I get distracted.  I ask you, Lord, to remind me of the benefits of a good nights sleep and what a benefit it will be for me when I am done with the gym by 6am. Lord, when that alarm goes off and I am tempted to reset it for another hour, please gently take my hand and remind me why I am doing this. For the loves of my life, so that I may set a good example for them of the importance of good health and help me rise from my bed and start the day you have blessed me with.
