Getting up early...

[Will2BLean]

Is there anything I can do to make getting up earlier easier? I can't go to bed any earlier... I've just never been able to go to sleep before 11:00. If I try, I end up tossing and turning all night and going to sleep even later. I just started a new job, and I have to get up at 6:00 a.m. as it is. I've been trying to get up at 5:00 to work out, but I can't drag myself out of bed. Mondays are fine (a little rough), but the rest of the week 6 is the earliest I can manage. Right now I can't afford Cardio Breeze, either. Man, do I miss that stuff.

Practice. They say it takes 21 days to form a habit. Put the alarm on for 4.50am, snooze it for 10 mins then just get up. I have literally rolled myself out of bed, feeling quite nauseous but just pushed through it. I was consistent for over 3 weeks (once, LOL) and then I found my body clock readjusted to wake up at 5am. I then naturally needed to go to bed earlier.

It's rough. I'm starting this again on Tuesday - I feel your pain!

OMG, 4:50 sounds like my worst nightmare! lol.. Did you do this on the weekends, also?

 

[mermaid]

Nooooo! However, I just would wake up at 5am, like clockwork. Went back to sleep, then Mondays were hard again. The body is quite amazing really, how it adapts.

I am so NOT a morning person but that AM cardio works wonders.

 

[Will2BLean]

Thanks, mermaid! I'll give it a try starting Monday.

very hard if your not a morning person...but great advice above..

ewww mornings are evil

I don't think there's anything that makes it easier for me. It's something I've always struggled with, and it's just one of those things you just gotta do.

Clean eating (try to avoid carbs in my meal b4 bed & have a fat so I don't interrupt my sleep too often other than my 2 trips to the bathroom) & Cardio Breeze for me .. good luck to you and I am a morning person

SO with that & since you can't afford CB .. practice makes perfect... good advice above

I thought I was the only one who had to get up twice (at a minimum) to pee. What a hassle!

I'm not a morning person either, BTW plus, I have to be at work by 9 and live in the outskirts of the city which makes it really impossible for me to go to the gym in the am.

I get up early enough, but there is no cardio for me in the morning. I have tried and tried and tried and I just end up getting sick. I always have to eat, wait then go to the gym. Or have a coffee and sit for awhile before I can go.

Good luck
