What are you doing right now?

[RootDKJ]

Enjoying my morning coffee and surfing. Got a bunch of stuff I need to get done very quickly, so I'll be heading into the office at 9.

Getting ready to start another day of working wth the glorious sound of the air conditioners humming along outside the window next to my desk

so far today I have burned about 5 calories..the gym in my complex opens at 5AM..one of these days I'll do the early workout..

About to hop in the shower..no time to shave...heading to the office..

Highly recommend it. I am NOT a morning person but I had a friend who told me she exercises in the early AM because she isn't awake enough yet to protest. I find that getting up at a consistent time (instead of whenever the kids wake me) and getting something accomplished early in the day sets me up to get a lot more done--and I feel better about it.

Now I just need to get my eating under control again and I'll be all set.

I'd LOVE to be able to regularly exercise in the AM these days. But my wife who's training for a triathalon just under a month from now seems to have "confiscated" the vast majority of the workout time these days thus relegating me to a couple of evening a week and Saturday AM's when my wife takes the kids to the local YMCA for lap swim where they have childcare and I get to ride my bike

I am NOT a morning person either. I've had numerous trainers tell me that exercising first thing in the morning is a great way to drop pounds fast.

My problem is after working nights for over 10 years, I don't fall asleep at a normal time. I can go to bed at 10, and I'll lay there awake until 12 or 1am. Then I sleep until (or past) 7. I guess I could take some melatonin for a week and try to make it work.

Most nights, I don't fall asleep until 11:30PM/midnight. And yet, I still get up at 5:10AM to get to the gym before Brian goes to work. I need to work on getting to bed earlier... But I actually function better on 5.5 hours of sleep than 8.

I'm sure the AM exercise helps.

Consider me motivated to give AM workouts another try. Thanks :beer:

I tried driving last week. I was in full control, but it felt like I was piloting an airplane (where it takes my body a minute to "catch up" with the action) , except all the road tactile feedback was there. I don't think I'm ready to try running, I may leave myself behind!

 

[drjeff]

Getting ready to change out of the scrubs and into the bike shorts and head out for another hot RAW

 

[severine]

Hiding from the kid upstairs. He's playing outside with my kids but he keeps bugging me. His mom just told him to stop asking for food because she's making dinner (I already gave him a popsicle and his mom gave him crackers).

 

[RootDKJ]

Just got to the gym.

 

[severine]

Just finished dinner. LOVE breakfast for dinner!

 

[severine]

Heading to the gym...

 

[severine]

Back from the gym. Did 18 min on the elliptical to warm up (8 of them backwards) and then 27 min on the treadmill. Week 5 Day 2 of Couch-to-5K so I had two 8min running intervals today and they felt GREAT! Even with already going 1.32 miles on the elliptical before starting, it went very well. Burned over 530 calories this morning, too!

Oddly, the house is quiet. The kids are somehow still sleeping... Bliss!!!

 

[drjeff]

Just getting ready for another day in the office. Sound wise atleast should be pretty quiet for the rest of the week as my business partner, 1 assistant, 2 hygienists, my office manager and 1 front desk person all have the rest of the week off.
