The sound of crickets chirping from my iPhone alarm is not my favorite sound. The crickets chirp is probably to best sound to wake up to, but it still isn't fun. It is very hard to push myself to get up at 5:30 in the morning, but I must in order to get my workout in. I found a post on Pinterest the other day that had some really good tips on how to make getting up early to exercise a bit easier.
(Find that post HERE). One problem I have is trying to get breakfast down before a morning run. The blogger even covered that! She recommended Protein Poppers, which are basically balls of oatmeal peanut butter goodness! I made them today and they are super easy! (The recipe is included in the link above). I will have to be disciplined and save them for my pre-workout meal because each ball is 100 calories. They are small, quick, and packed with protein, which is perfect for a quick bit of nutrition my body needs in the morning.

Another favorite tip of the blogger is to sleep in your workout clothes. This works wonderfully. If I am in my comfy PJs, I am less likely to get up and exercise! I hope you find these tips as helpful as I did!
PS: I got 3 1/2 hours of dental work done today. This was unexpected. Needless to say, I just did an ab workout. Here is one of my favorites!
