ok after reading this post i am getting up tomoorow morning and going to the gym!

---

honestly, the only way I can do it is that I hired a personal trainer. I meet with him 3x a week at 6:45a.m. Between work and school it's the only way I get to the gym - knowing someone is there waiting for me.

if i didn't do that, I don't think I would go. But once i'm there i feel amazing!!!

I have been trying to do this too. And I totally know what you mean about making excuses - I find it's veryyyyyyyy easy to find a reason to not get up when you are half asleep. Friday and today, I had to leave for work at like 7:15 - which is about 2 hours before I usually leave - and I had no problem getting up at 6, because I HAD TO. That might make it a little easier for me to go to the gym at least 2x a week in the morning, not sure.

I find that if I leave going to the gym for after work, I do not go most of the time, I say I am too tired, I am hungry, I have things to do at home, etc.

I have the same exact problem!!!!!! I can go to the gym at midnight if I have to, but I cannot make myself go in the morning for the life of me!!!!!!!!! I set my cell phone alarm and it is far away from me, so I have to get ot of bed to turn it off....I don't even hit snooze, I reset it for a later time and go back to sleep

I'm also soo miserable in the mornings that if I enlist FH to help me wake up, I'm so mean to him that he ends up just letting me sleep

I know that I would feel much better if I worked out and showered in the mornings, I just can't do it!

My FH is the worst to wake up. He sleeps sooooo soundly, and he will not wake up to an alarm, he'll sleep through even the loudest one. So I have to wake him everyday, and I have to start at 6:45 so that he is in the shower by 7:30. And he will not even wake up until 7:25, and then he will yell at me because I didn't wake him up.



SO ... if I ever do get to the gym in the morning ... I have to work around HIS schedule or else he will be late for work. I did not sign up for this .....

Mine is the same way!!!!!!! The only time I have a problem waking up is if it is earlier than I really have to be up. I have no problems when I have to be somewhere like work or class, I'm up the first time my alarm goes off.

My FH though, is another story!!!!! He snoozes or sleeps through his alarm every morning. Unfortunately I wake up everytime it goes off! I have to keep waking him up otherwise he will be late for work. I'll start waking him up by saying, 'honey, its time for you to get up' he'll say 'five more minutes' 30 minutes of that and I am literally pushing him out of bed and feeling like

let me know if you figure it out! i do the continual snoozing every morning!

if i force myself out of bed and have a cup of tea it helps a little

I feel your pain, sister. Luckily for him, my FH works about 5 mins from our house. He is always 10 mins late anyhow. He used to never be late ... I got a new job and can leave the house later and so I do not get up as early - and he blames ME for his lateness.

hahahahahah OK!! Going to bed earlier tonight! and moving alarm across the room, AGAIN!

Day 1 DID NOT WORK

Day 2...TO BE CONTINUED....

Thanks for all the support gals

I am cracking up at this posting! I am so the person who hits snooze for like 45 minutes! FH is usually up before me but when hes not he gets so mad an keeps saying 'dont you need to get up' I am like few more minutes! and it happenes over and over and over and over! LOL

a hahaha! My FH has one day during the week off from work, and he knows that when my alarm first goes off he better get out of bed b/c it's a 45 minute snooze game. But he never thinks to wake me up when it first goes off!

Well ...I'm sad to report that...

I got up, walked across the room and hit the OFF button... Went back to bed until 6am (when I need to be up for work)

5am is REALLY HARD

But of course, as usual, I will attempt again tomorrow! Now off to run the 4 miles I did NOT run this morning

Maybe Day 3 it will happen lol

I get up super early every morning...4:20 am early!
Just try it out 1 day and then see how you like it! If you do then you'll be that much more motivated the next day! My motivation is COFFEE!

i hear ya on this.. i say to myself everynight that im going to wake up early and work out and it never happens. But i have to be up and getting ready for work around 515am and in th car by 620 so its really hard to get myself out of bed at 415 instead. wish i could do it

but i bet if you just DO IT then you will get use to it.
