So what gets you out of bed in the morning? me? ..I would prefer a heated robe and slippers while I sit and eat my bacon, eggs, and pancakes. BUT.. this is reality..
I can tell you what has kept me in bed.. a cold room and warm sheets (now I must explain if it isnt 90 degrees in a room I feel it is cold).. a night when I didnt sleep but 2 hours straight, and kids that come and snuggle. (I would say a snoring husband.. but he says he doesnt snore..)
What I find interesting is that I can wake up at anytime of the night and if I am hungry.. go and get a snack.. no problem..I used to motivate myself to get out of bed because a Dr Pepper had my name on it in the fridge! .. I can also make a trip to the bathroom in the middle of the night.. no problem.. but when that alarm goes off.. and I know I MUST get out of bed and stay out.. I have a problem with that.. SO.. whats a girl to do?
I decided to set the arlam on my cell phone.. it wakes me up before the suns up to a cheerful ring.. instead of a "boooonnnnkkk booooonnkkkk" ..
I can only push the snooze ONCE.. and get up before it goes off again..
I sometimes sleep in my workout clothes.. figuring I am already dressed so why not work out.
I tell myself like Pam Brown did "do I want to be fat and out of shape or healthy?" almost everytime I choose Healthy.
So what motivates you to get out of bed?

health update:
I lifted weights yesterday morning.. upper body.. I am sore today, which is good.. but also sad cause I lifted only 10lbs at the most and did only two sets.. I have lost a lot of strength by being lazy these last few months.. I want to be able to carry those groceries in without straining! progress not perfection right?
I ran this morning .. was on the treadmill by 655.. oh and if felt so good when I was done.
Milestone! - yesterday I went all day without Soda or Tea.. I am taking a herbal supplement that has green tea and caffine but I am taking one pill instead of the sugguested 3.. The first time I did the bfl program I took the pills instead of drinking cokes and tea and I was completely off of every form of caffine in a month..(without horrible headaches or loss of energy) that is my goal this time too.. In four weeks.. 0 caffine intake! 0 Soda intake.. 1 gal of water a day!
My theme for today:
"I have the Power to change"
