I am conflicted. I am starting to get back into regular morning workouts.... starting, I said. But this morning a conflict arose that has got me frustrated.
My Dad was available for breakfast which is always a good time, but what to do about the workout? I find it very difficult to eat before the gym, because then you are dragging this meal around with you... and then there's the burps... you know... the aftertaste of partially digested, formerly delicious breakfast. Not fun.
I hope that this is a false dichotomy, that these two important activities really are not in competition with each other, but I am afraid that it is looking more and more as thought they are. Of course I could always get up "earlier" and go to the gym first, which I suppose is the most rational solution. But, with young kids that need attention in the morning it is a crap shoot as to when they will wake up.
So, by the time the gym is an option, breakfast is either out of the question or a convenient excuse. As a breakfast person (and I recognize that you are either breakfast person, or you are NOT) it is frustrating that I have to choose to start my day with either a work out or breakfast.
Don't even get me started about coffee.... some things are just too sacred!
See ya at the gym... or the diner?!?!
