For the longest time (ohhh-ohh-ohhh), I have been telling myself that I never have time to work out because I get up insanely early, work all day, and then it’s nearly 6 when I get home. If I want to do ANYTHING after work, I’m usually not home until 8 or after. I’ve always subscribed to the policy that I shouldn’t work out past 7, because then I won’t be able to fall asleep at night, and the vicious cycle of sleep deprivation will consume my life.

Well, no more. I have worked out later in the evenings for the past couple of weeks with no ill-effects. I’ve been in this competition with Josh since May 20, and I realized I had to at least try to work out later and see what happens. Well, I’m less tired around bedtime, but I still manage to fall asleep at a decent hour. I also realized a few weeks ago that I actually need closer to 7.5 hours to be a functioning human being the next day. I had myself thinking I needed more than 8, but so far I’m doing ok.

Anyways, moral of this story: reevaluating long-held “truths” about yourself every now and then is a good idea.
