I started a new thing on Thursday 11^th of May 2023, I went to the gym at 5.45 am.

Yes, I know 5.45 am.

Now it is the 24 of June and I have been going to the gym at 5.45 am four days a week.

This is week seven of my gym journey and I am so enjoying my new routine.

Yes, it is cold and dark.

I had a thought to myself the other morning, it is going to be cold whatever time I get up because it is Winter.

Yes, sometimes I do want to stay in my nice warm bed but I feel so good when I get there.

I feel like I have accomplished a huge goal.

I am now getting up at 4.45 am, I have a coffee and get ready for the gym.

It does take a bit of being organised.

On Sundays, I will meal prep and organise my meals for the week.

This has saved me so much time during the week.

I will make sure my clothes have been washed and I have clothes clean for the week.

I have a new routine the day before-

• I will lay out my gym clothes and my work clothes for the next day
• I will organise my breakfast and lunch
• I will make sure that I have everything organised for the next day for work
• I make sure that my alarm is set for 4.45 am at least 4 times a week.

It does take a bit of organising, I am now going into week eight of my gym journey and my new routine.

I have also decided that for this term at school, I will not have takeaways and I will cook my own meals. This is something that I have achieved.

I am so enjoying it.

My routine does take a bit of discipline and organisation, it is so worth it.

I am looking forward to week nine for my new gym program.

What is something you can do this week for yourself?

What is something you can do for your self-care?

Let me encourage you in your journey.

I would love to hear from you.
