Secret #7: Sleeping in Workout Clothes

I shouldn't reveal this one. Nevertheless, here's how it goes: Working out makes you happy (endorphins). But working out takes free time. But free time only exists in the wee hours of the morning...but the wee hours of the morning are HORRIBLE.

This is why you must sleep in your workout clothes. You must sleep in them so that when you stumble out of bed you will already have your Lycra pants on, plus your stupidly cute pom-pom socks. All you will have to do is shove on the breast-smashing bra and those overpriced aerodynamic sneakers and stagger over to the gym or around the block for a "run," which is really a "walk." And you will be happy. Not very sexy. But happy.
