Guest guest Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 This is a great habit to get into. A suggestion -- you may want to use that time to set up an exercise routine. I have found that when I exercise first thing in the morning, I tend to go through the day a lot easier/better. I've also learned that if I don't exercise first thing in the morning, I don't exercise for that day.

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 That is awesome, plus it speeds up your metabolism for the day too. Thanks for the tip.

I think you are right - when I get too much sleep, it plays against me too!! Can't wait to hear your "results" for the Valentine's day goal!! I have a goal too, but it ends Feb 3rd (I go to San Fran the 4th) :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 Moonmayden Well done for looking at something that wasn't working for you and changing a habit!! You rock!! and are well on your way Mandy A new habit... On week days my husband gets up at 5am to get ready for work. I normally get up with him and make sure he doesn't forget his lunch box, tools, etc... and then when he leaves at 6am I go back to bed and sleep until around 9am. I really enjoy getting those extra hours of sleep and I thought that they might be beneficial but I was wrong!!! When I get those extra hours of zzz time in I wake up feeling grumpy and even more tired than I was the first time I woke up at 5am! I've noticed that on days that I don't go back to sleep after my husband leaves for work I get a lot more done throughout the day. I usually am in a better mood and even seem to eat better because then I get breakfast in and when I sleep in I usually just skip breakfast and wait till lunch to eat, which by then I feel starving and eat more than I should of whatever is laying around the house (potato chips, cookies, etc...). So today I'm going to start a new habit... I'm going to wake up with my husband at 5am and stop going back to sleep after he leaves! It's just one small step that can help me towards my 10 pounds gone by Valentines Day goal! Thanks for reading! -moonmayden Send instant messages to your online friends http://au.messenger.
