Morning Motivation?

[Disney Ontario]

HOW DO I GET IT? Let me eat breakfast, get the two DD's off to work and school at 8:30 then I am back up, curled in bed, watching tv.I try to boot myself out of bed by 10:30 for the day. I realy want to lose weight 10-20 by Dec 1. Our family weekend in Niagara Falls and be able to SHOP for smaller clothes.

Honestly, if it is something you really want the motivation will follow.

Maybe instead of tyring to get up to exercise in the morning, try doing it in the afternoon or the evening, after dinner. I used to be able to get up and exercise but I have to be out the door by 6:50am, so that is no longer possible. So I started exercising in the evening, after dinner. Between 7 - 8pm is MY TIME, this is the time I exercise. It means that I no longer can sit on the couch and watch TV, like I would used to do.

it is hard to get going, espeically as the weather cools and that bed is soooooo comfy....

but starting out here, we can help motivate you! there is an early morning exercise thread (whatever 'early morning' is for you) and you are to join in. we commit out loud to each other what our plan for the week is, and I can tell you knowing that other's are struggling and overcoming it has been helping me tremendously to get moving in the morning!

small steps take to you to the same destination...what small step can you try this week?

How about making your bed when you get up to get the kid's off to school. Put lots and lots of throw pillows on it. Then maybe you won't want to get back in bed. So you can start working out then. Leave your workout clothes out so in the morning all you have to do is put them on. For me going to bed a little earlier is key in trying to work out in the morning. If I'm extra tired it is impossible to get up any earlier than I absolutely have to!

Good luck!
