how do you get up so early?

I had a 7 a.m. doctor's appointement and it KILLED me to get out of bed. I know that Sarah & Jake are early risers. Sarah - 5.30 for a class at the gym? Please inspire me! I'd love to free up my evenings but can never get out of bed in the morning... what motivates you in the a.m. to NOT hit snooze?

Last night's date ...scoop of diced potatoes (fried in olive oil), garlic fried tomatoes, porkchop in ginger sauce. Shared strawberry shortcake slice & flan slice (which I ate most of because I love flan). Went out after for a glass of wine, (which I had too much of but drank water between), where a cute young boy tried to usurp my date and take me home. I wisely went home without either of them, but was feeling super SEXY! (Hello Mrs Robinson!)

Too bad the Doctor's office showed that I GAINED 2 lbs since last week. WTF?

  1. It's funny, because I would never be called an early riser by anyone. My motivation is thoughts of me in a bikini in Cancun in May. Getting up is hard, I can't hit snooze b/c my bed partner would be upset with me. So if I don't get out of bed right away, I don't get up until the other alarm goes off. And then I would feel guilty. I also have no time after work since I work about an hour away and this time of year I'm at work til 8 or 830. So I guess I have a couple motivators. It's a really good feeling all day long when you get your workout done first thing, I feel strong.

  2. That's awesome Sarah. You're right, when I lived with someone I wouldn't dare hit snooze, it pisssed him off, so I got up early. And it is such a good feeling through out the day... maybe I'll try it again.

  3. When I hit the snooze, Eric sleeps right through it. Maybe I should pick a really loud and obnoxious radio station, then he'll get mad and I'll have to get up? I still don't think so.

  4. TL - you know that 2 lbs is water weight and stuff. I wouldn't worry about it.
    Even though I'm getting up early and my bed partner hates if I hit the snooze too many times early, he's been very supportive in general this go-round for me. I tried losing weight last year around this time, but wasn't quite motivated to go to the gym in the morning and never wanted to go after work. It's just very different for me this time around and I know this blog has something to do with it too. Thanks everyone!
