The 5 am support is invaluable. I couldn't have asked for anyone in a better position to give me that support right now. What coach would agree to come to your house at 5 am, wake you up, make you coffee, keep you moving when you daze off between putting on bib and jersey and procrastinate when eating the muesli? He does an amazing job kicking me out the door before 5:30 am. How much would you pay for that service when you have a goal but not enough drive?
5 AM in our kitchen. We had beautiful mornings this week.
I'm hoping that a couple of weeks of this routine will kick start the habit that I once followed diligently. For now it's like ice cold water, a glacial stream that you dip your toe into. You know instantly that to jump in will take more willpower than you can muster. That is the 4:30 am alarm clock. Alberto pushes me and after the initial shock, once your body gets used to the temperature/time of day, you feel invigorated and glad that you did jump in/got out of bed.
If I just go through the motions long enough then the motivation to train will return. That's my theory anyway.
It's coming cheap for me. I'm re-paying in muffins. Secretly I'm actually trying to fatten Alberto up a little while I get a chance. I love my man more sprinter than willow climber's frame.

To hold this weight over the next four weeks will be the challenge. I can't help eating the muffins so I reduce the olive oil in the salad and skip seconds at dinner more often. Lunch is mainly sushi and thanks to Alberto I have breakfast every day, which makes a huge difference to the metabolism.

Good on ya! Does Alberto have a MUCH older brother? LOL...
as always, please pass along the recipes for the fabulous food you taunt us with in pictures, Please!!
xoxoxo
you are a lucky girl :) that salad looks amazing!
Good luck with your training. That salad looks great and I'm not much of a green food eater.
eating in the morning makes a huge difference. glad to hear your man is taking care of you. that is so sweet. he's a keeper, for sure.
Red Bike - It is. At least the sun's up already and it is warm. :-)
Laurel - Nah, sorry, no brothers. Unfortunately I can't give you the recipes for the muffins as I always just mix things together without a recipe. I can't vene re-bake the same muffin because I usually don't remember what I did. :-) But my favourite ingredients are nuts, fresh fruit, rice milk and Cerevita, sometimes buttermilk if I've got some, always wholemeal or buckwheat flour.
Mel - Alberto made that salad! :-)
Mike J - Well, I guess it speaks volumes. :-)
Judi - I never believed it but I'm a converted believer of breakfast now. And yes, he's a keeper for sure. ;-)
Danke, Groover!
