My Alarm Cat Doesn't Work!
In reply to those who depend on a "alarm cat/dog"--
My alarm goes off, I hit the shut-off button (bypass snooze completely), my cat gets up, turns around a few times, and settles back in for a snooze. I've been trying to get back into AM workouts for about a month now but have only been able to do it a couple of times a week. I'm sure that if I keep trying, I'll get into the habit. The problem with am workouts is that when I do actually get up early, the cats think that the first priority is breakfast. The one thing that drives me to keep trying to do am workouts is that it's so great not to have to do it after I get home from work. |

Thanks everyone
Thanks Everyone for some great ideas and inspiration.
With all you excellent words in my head this morning I did manage to get up early (6:15) and I did do a 10 min yoga practice from yoga for energy (Ok so I'm starting easy LOL) and had a lovely leisurely shower too Day one down I have a 'sunrise' clock and would highly recommend them, it helped me with the "winter blues" in late autumn last year Thanks again everyone, you are all awesome J |

Where to get a sunrise alarm clock?
Hi everyone --
I know some of you from the Cathe Forums, where I'm a regular yakker (screen name Kathy S.). Here I am a regular lurker (I guess I get all talked out over at Cathe's site!) This thread has inspired me to try AM exercising -- evenings have become very unpredictable this year and I think committing to AM regularly might just be the ticket for better consistency. The sunrise alarm clock is a really intriguing idea -- can anyone tell me where to get one and what to ask for, if I'm out searching for one? Thanks folks! Legalpeach (a/k/a Kathy S.)

Hi Kathy S.
Thanks again for sending me the volumes of Cathe rotations recently. Maybe I can return the favor a bit with this link to an earlier thread. It's full of inspiring ideas for AM exercise, including a link to a site selling a sunrise clock. And you should join us at the AM Converts Check-in for weekly inspiration!
Good luck, Elisa S http://forum.videofitness.com/showth...=&pagenumber=1 |

Hi Elisa!
Thanks so much for the sweet reply and the link -- I'm very intrigued by that clock and will have to show it to DH (for approval of the idea, since he doesn't get up til 6:30 and I'm thinking I'd like to be up about 45 minutes before that).
I'll also join the AM Converts thread for motivation --- great idea! Glad you're enjoying the rotations! Legalpeach a/k/a/ Kathy S. |

find a buddy reward yourself
How about finding a buddy who also works out in the am and have her give you a call to get you going! Or promise yourself a reward if you make it for a period of time. Maybe a massage or new blouse or CD ect.. Earn your treat by getting up and working out!
