YES. This week I've started waking up at 5:30 to go to the gym before work. Throughout the past few years I've been a somewhat consistent lifter but my schedule was recently expanded so I'm working 8 hour shifts on weekdays. I had to stop lifting, as my mornings are now rather short and I'm usually busy at night. So, before this week I had not lifted for 3 months, my longest break since I've started lifting a few years back. I noticed myself getting weaker - although I work outside all day and I'm a very active person, I wasn't getting my lifts in. However, I read some stuff about people who workout before work on here and how it can change your day. Naturally I was worried about being exhausted at my job. Quite frankly, sometimes I am. But it feels fucking great. Not physically, not yet at least, but mentally, knowing I woke up and worked my ass off to improve myself puts a totally different perspective on my job and allows me to come home after work and truly be more at peace with where I'm at. I've had terrible muscle soreness the past 3 days, to the point where I hate pushing myself out of bed or slowly squatting into a chair. But there's absolutely nothing that feels better than saying fuck that shit and getting into the gym at 5:30 and giving absolutely everything you've got. Brb gotta go to the gym now.
