Hello 5am

I got 7.5 full wonderful hours of sleep last night so when I woke up at 5am I decided to get up and head to the gym.

I had a much better workout this time!

I did 25 minutes on the elliptical and 15 on the bike.  I've decided not to start weight training yet....and ease into it like Fran suggested!

I think I really don't like the treadmill....plus I can get more bang for my buck on the elliptical.

I did great with my eating yesterday...I thought I'd be starving from working out but I wasn't.  And when I felt like mindlessly snacking, I talked myself out of it.

And I went to Starbucks this morning with my husband and I didn't even want a latte or a treat...I kept thinking about how hard I'm working at 5am!

I took my measurement this morning too.  Sometimes I see more difference in this than the scale and I'm going to need all the motivation I can get to keep this up.

How are you doing today?

    Good job! I love the elliptical too.. much better than the treadmill. I've got a treadmill in our garage that I've been walking on. The scenery is not so fun! ;)

    Sounds like you are doing awesome! My fave is the elliptcal too. I'm just getting back at it after having my baby. Keep up the good work.

    Nice work! I didn't work out yesterday or today with my annoying bladder issues. I probably could have worked out today, but I needed the sleep from missing so much yesterday.

    I agree about the treadmill. I hate them! Ease into the weights, you really only need to do them two or three times a week.

    I wish I had your little voice that keeps you from the treats! I am struggling but still going to the gym 3 x a week. I also LOVE the eliptical, and so do my knees!
    Keep up the great work!

    Well done! Two days in a row, great job!

    I never liked the treadmill either and when I started running last year I hardly used it either but these days I am because it's perfect for intervals. But my favorite cardio machine is the elleptical.
