all the advice on how to start waking up early and going to the gym is like don’t forget to start gradually! set your alarm five minutes earlier every day! don’t worry if you can’t do a full workout, you can build up to it! but my very specific problem is that if i half-ass something my brain will put it in the “waste of time” column and i’ll be like well that was shitty and boring and i didn’t even do a full workout. so there’s no point making a habit out of it. so now i’m experimenting with what i’m calling the “cold turkey brrr” approach which is that i go to sleep in my gym shorts i set my sunrise alarm for 6:30 (so the light starts coming on at 6) (there is no natural light in my apartment at the moment because of construction work and scaffolding) (which is why i got the sunrise alarm) and then i go outside in the cold in my shorts and i’m like brrrr and i walk to the gym (10 minutes) (part of the workout) and i do three different weight things (one is the pull-up machine which is soooo fun) for three sets of 10 reps each (it ain’t much but it’s honest work) then i get back home and it’s just about 7:30 and i eat breakfast and then i get to work at a reasonable time. anyway i’ve done this Once (this morning) and i intend to just keep doing it every morning wish me luck :\
