Alyssa: CANNOT imagine getting out of bed

This morning my alarm went off at 5am, normal time for 3 days out of the week. In NY/CT, this week has been cold and I am a complete baby about it. I saw today's workout when I woke up and immediately pressed snooze. Thoughts going through my head, "No way I'm waking up...it's freezing what will I even wear to be running outside...no one else is going to show up when they see this workout...I am working out at night too, so I don't reallly need to go this morning..." 
At about 5:30, I stopped my intermittent falling back asleep/whining to myself and decided all I was doing was making excuses and I said out loud, "Alyssa, Wake the F Up!" and I jumped out of bed. 

I put on my fleece lined running leggings and long sleeve, quickly packed my bag and was out of the house in under 10 min. As I was driving, my mind went back to "wait, why am I doing this?"
Well...all in all, I kept driving and had probably one of my better workouts. I felt great and even better than I didn't stay in bed just because I would've been cold. 

Sometimes all you have to do is tell yourself to Wake the F up and the rest will fall into place.
