Thanks, Kelley! I'm getting ready to do cardio now but would rather

be sleeeping ;-)

I know the feeling Darlene! I got up at about 5:10 am and did my

cardio -but it was definitely FORCED!.....not anything I wanted to

do. When the clock went off at 5 I laid there for a few minutes

going back and forth in my head - the treadmill WON! Yee Haa! So,

you're not the LONE RANGER! I haven't reached the mental/emotional

part of my challenge where I'm so pumped I'm looking forward to

getting up and working out, etc..... I'm still struggling with that

part! (don't know if I'll ever FEEL like working out or get addicted

as they say you do!)

Let us know how it goes! Glad you're up and ready to get cardio out

of the way!!!!

I look forward to weight training but not cardio! I have a sore

throat so that didn't help but I DID it anyway My legs and butt

were so sore, too! I did steps cardio so now, I feel it!

I was on my feet this wkend for 5 or 6 hrs Fri & Sat night so the

bottoms of my feet are still sore! When I did sqats yesterday, my

feet were feeling the burn, too ;-)

Gee, it sounds like I'm whining but don't mean to be. I just was

surprised to still have sore feet...

Have a good day, Kelley :-)

Wow, you two are early birds today!! Darlene, try soaking your

tootsies in epsom salts and hot water - you will really feel a big

difference, trust me. Don't worry about " whining " either, we all

have days where we are pooped out and it seems like the last thing on

earth you want to do is a workout. Pats on the back to you for doing

it anyway!

Kelley, I *still* don't enjoy getting up early in the morning and

it's been over two years on BFL for me. LOL! I'm just not a morning

person. However, I *do* enjoy the workout, so once I get past

the " OH NOOOOOOO, it's too EARLY to get up!! " argument that goes on

in my brain, I really like working out in the morning. It's over and

done with and then I have the evening free to do dishes, make dinner,

make lunch for the next day, tidy the house, do laundry, help with

homework, coach cheerleading, etc. Is that all? LOL

GO JEN GO!!! So there is still hope that I MIGHT begin enjoying my

workouts! It's only week 6 for me - so I've got another 1 1/2 years

to start liking them!

Thanks, Jen! I will try that next time 'cause they feel better

today. Maybe that's because I have a bad sore throat now! Geeezzz!

As soon as I over work myself, I get one so nothing new but thought

this new, somewhat more fit me might do better Instead, I

probably should have waited to do my WO but ... Nope... I am too

afraid to start skipping

thanks for the pats, too! It makes it all better :-)

I try to think of how dis-satisfied I will feel if I skip a WO and

how good I feel when I complete one that I've had to force myself to

finish... I think that helps a little when it's 'tough to get

goin' " !
