At least not this soon after a workout. This morning was my first morning session of cardio and weight training. I woke up at 5 am - yes you read that correctly: 5 am - to start my day of exercise and torture.

When I first got to the gym it took about five minutes of cardio to get myself motivated and excited about being there, but I have to say that after the first five minutes were over, I was ready. I met with my trainer after doing my cardio and started my weight training portion of the routine. Holy crap my arms and abs are sore right now. I can almost not lift my arms up passed my shoulders. I then sat in the sauna for about ten minutes.

All in all I would have to say that working out in the morning has its advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that I get it over with in the morning, the disadvantage is that I have to do it in the morning - which means I have to get ready for the work day at the gym.

I will probably stick with the evenings during the week, except for Tuesdays. Tuesdays I will save for the mornings and to meet with my trainer.

I am excited to be taking on this new challenge. I know I can make my body look the way I want it to and I know I can be healthy. It is just putting my mind to it and following through with it that is the difficult part. But I am on my way.
