Day 53no gym today. i had to get up at 6am for work and unlike some of you there is no way i'm getting up at 4am to work out! you know who you are, lol. i didnt sleep well last night cuz i couldnt fall asleep and then i woke up in the middle of the night and couldnt get back to sleep. so annoying. so i was super tired all day and even though i had plenty of time after i got out of work i just didnt have the energy to work out. i did get some errands done so that was good. but, i dont feel so bad about it anymore cuz i just found out i dont have to work until 2pm tomorrow, instead of 9am as i originally told, so now i have all morning to get my butt there! good, cuz im really starting to get back into going to the gym, especially since i can do the elliptical and/or swim, and i dont want to take too many days off. it'll be even better when i finally have money again and can get to some dance classes. i'm starting to miss it. stupid money.i want it to be friday so i can have my weigh in. since i've been exercising more and eating so well i really feel like i'm gonna see a difference this week. its funny how i'm actually looking forward to weighing myself. oh how times have changed.

YEAH NO EARLY RISER THIS MORNING EXCEPT FOR WORK BUT WILL GO TO GYM TONIGHT AND GET UP EARLY TOMORROW MORNING. MY HUBBY AND I USED TO GET UP AT 3:30 TO BE AT THE GYM BY 4-4:30 CUZ HE HAD TO LEAVE FOR WORK BY 5, BUT THAT WAS 7 YEARS AGO RIGHT BEFORE WE GOT MARRIED. IT IS SO TOUGH GETTING UP EARLY. WHAT DO YOU DO? I WORK MON-FRI FROM 7-3 WHERE AS MY HUBBY WORKS SWING SHIFT, DIFFERENT SCHEDULE EVERY WEEK. HARD TO GET USED TO EVEN AFTER ALL THESE YEARS. YEAH I HATE MONEY SOMETIMES, JUST NEVER ENOUGH FOR WHAT WE WANT TO DO. EVERYTHING GOES TO THE NECESSITIES...... GLAD YOUR FEELING GOOD AND GETTING BACK INTO THE GYM. I REALLY ENJOY GOING AND SINCE IT MAKES ME FEEL GOOD I DON\'T MIND GOING LIKE I USED TO. GOOD FOR YOU AND GOOD LUCK ON THE WEIGH IN. YOU CAN DO IT! KATHY
Frankly I find the idea of getting up at 6am frightening enough. 4am is surely a fictional time, only experienced during some really good teen parties I attended in my youth!
Sometimes when you\'re knackered your body benefits more from resting than pushing yourself in the gym. I hear ya hun re the money situ but as your working again it\'ll soon come trickling back in! Its great that you have other options that you enjoy too though - being a super champ swimmer!! Lucky thing having the morning off tomorrow!
Sometimes your body and brain just dont feel like it. I really enjoy my exercise but i do look forward to my days off to when i know i can relax and not be held down to a time schedule!! I know what you mean with regards to money, what with Christmas on the way etc!!!! Have a great day tomorrow enjoy your morning off:)
