“The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”  – Einstein

Lately, I may have been going insane.  Every weekday morning I’d wake up at 4:45am and expect to get on the exercise bike at 5am.  However, I’d check in with work, find something going awry, and end up not exercising.

Despite my track record, I continued to plan to wake up and exercise.  Each day I was unable to exercise due to my work obligations, I would be a little bummed.  Yet, I did not make a change to my routine.

My first approach to this problem was “hoping” that the problems at work would just go away.  After all, things had not been this bad before.  It’s just a recent thing where my morning is completely sidetracked.  I’ve gotten over that, especially since I realized that I think there will actually be some relief with my work problems by the end of next month.

So, I have finally made the decision to move my exercise back to the afternoon, as soon as I get home from work.  It worked before, and it will work again.  I do see a couple scheduling conflicts, but I think they will be much more manageable than my morning challenges.

I actually prefer to exercise in the morning.  I like waking up and finishing my exercise for the day.  Plus, I also have more time in the evening to do other things.

I finally resolved to make the change, because I need to exercise, and I do not want it to slip.  Also, I am optimistic that the work issues will actually be resolved, and I can return to morning exercise in June.
