Anyone who knows me well knows I’m definitely NOT a morning person. I freely confess my night owl ways. Accordingly, I’ve pretty much always worked out in the late afternoon or evening. The only exceptions are pretty much on the weekends or when I’m on vacation and fit in morning workouts.
Earlier this week, Carla (a.k.a. the amazing MizFit) blogged an easy 4-step plan for becoming a morning exerciser. I admit, I was intrigued. Here’s the basics of her plan (check her website for full details if you’re interested in giving it a try!):
- Make the decision and tell your accountability partners (AKA friends & family).
- Plan and practice your workout routine.
- Wake up and dont workout!
- Go go go!
I know that I generally feel much better on the days when I’m able to workout in the morning. I have more energy, my calorie burn throughout the day is higher, and I just generally seem to feel more peaceful and serene (thank you, endorphins!).
After I finished reading her post and watching her video that day, I tweeted about it mentioning I was tempted to try it despite my night owl ways. Well, my Weight Watchers buddy Ginger called me on it! 
We made a pact to give this a try together.
We pretty much covered step 1 by committing to each other to do this together. Since I also consider all of you, my amazing readers, my accountability partners as well, I’m sharing it here, too. As for step 2, Ginger and I committed to getting out of bed five minutes earlier every day this week and to check in with each other during to week to make sure we’re following through. So far, so good! We’ll hit step 3 next week which means getting up 20 minutes earlier every day, but not working out. For me, that means getting up at 5:25am. (O.M.G. 
) Doing this will be for just getting our bodies used to getting up earlier. The following week will be step 4 which means the 5:15am torture morning workouts start. I’ll keep you all posted on how it goes!
Woo Hoo! As difficult as it is to believe, it’s time to start thinking about FitBloggin’ again! Roni announced on the FitBloggin’ site yesterday that registration will open up next Wednesday, January 11. The hotel is already accepting reservations, so I knocked that out yesterday. 
Yeah, I may or may not be a little bit excited about this. I had SUCH an amazing time last year that I knew it was definitely something I wanted to attend again this year. Is it September yet?! 
The assignment for today’s 30 Day Blog Challenge is to post a photo of an animal you’d like to raise as a pet. This is an easy one for me. I would *love* to have a bunny, especially a Mini Lop! I mean, seriously, how cute is that?!!
Until next time …
Aren’t they just adorable?!! 
Yes, it’s definitely going on my DVR schedule. I’ll be out of town on vacation for three consecutive Sundays after the season premiere, so I’ll have lots of catching up to do when I get back home.
