I can't work out in the morning. I hate it and am pissed off for the rest of the day- going round talking to people about how it is UNBELIEVABLE that I got up that early and what the hell was I thinking?

Pissed cuz you have to get up or pissed cuz you can't workout.

BTW what time do you get up?

Just generally pissed off at having to get up THAT early, lol.

I get up between 5:30 - 6:30 for work purposes. Getting up any earlier to go to the gym before work would be too much.

That's a wide gap..

I say get up around 5:30 and get about 30 min in and then do the rest to head off to work..

I know I know. Still not a morning person. Just a suggestion though.


ETA: Who says you have to go to a gym? Get you a workout tape and call it a day. Turbo Jam is my personal favorite.

So, my official training for the marathon started yesterday. We walked 6 miles. That was the first time I walked that far in oe shot. I feel pretty good this morning. I thought I woould be sore.

As for my weight. Y'll remember I said I ost 4 pounds on vacarion 2 weeks ago. Well I gained it baack this week. I am up 4.5 pounds today. Oh well. back 2 square one. LOL

Thanks for the tips, but I really really am not going to work out in the morning. I've had great success working out after work- all that's needed is commitment and putting effort into it. I started out with tapes, but I enjoy going to the gym and taking classes- the communal experience helps keep me motivated.

Today I was down 3.8 lbs at my Weight Watchers WI. I needed another 0.6 to be 150 lbs down (officially) from my highest weight. I came home and weighed myself on our scale and was another 1.2 lbs down (169.4 for a total of 150 lbs lost)!

So rather than grousing about the other 0.6 that I "need," I am claiming the victory now and will be planning my day trip, probably for early August.

I never imagined three years ago when I began my journey that I would be where I am now. I have stretched myself (in body and mind) in ways I would have found inconceivable before.

In the meantime, I am creating my final goal poster (yep, the LV). Onward and downward!

Thanks to everyone on this board for your support! Web site will be coming soon ...
