The early bird gets the worm!

So if you follow me on Facebook you know that my goal today was to get my butt up and go to a Cardio kick boxing class at my gym.  My good friend Peggy teaches the class.  I have gone to her class before (like before R was born) and it is a GREAT work out. But she just recently started to teach at my gym (her gym too). I want to support her so I thought I should get my butt up and go to her class. So I set my alarm.

do you like my alarm labels?? LOL

and I also had 2 people text me bright and early.So I really had no possible way of sleeping through the class. And yet, I STILL DID!!! ARGGGGGG!!!!!!!! Seriously, how did I do that?? Well here is what I THINK happened.  I always put the volume on my phone at 4 or 5 and that usually works.  But sometimes in the morning, it isn't loud enough to REALLY wake me up and hit the snooze button without realizing it.  I honestly think I hit the snooze button at least 3 times this morning.  And at 4 or 5 volume setting I totally didn't hear the text messages either. So needless to say I missed the class! UGH! This really makes me mad. But what can I do about it now?? So my goal is to get there next week and use a much louder volume setting on my phone.

I LOVE the idea of going to the gym in the morning, but so far I have only done it twice in my WHOLE life. I like the idea of getting it done first thing in the morning and then having the rest of the day to do what ever I need to do.  I would love to get off at 4:00 and run my errands or go pick up R from daycare early. Or if I was supper crazy, I could do 2 work outs a day on certain days of the week. Okay, that might be a little CRAZY! I also wish I could be one of those people who get up early on the weekends and get their workouts done so they don't skip out on the weekends. But I LOVE my sleep and it is hard to wake my butt up, just ask my mom.  She use to personally wake me up for school every morning and then when I went to College she use to call me to wake me up (well just that first week). But still, I am not a morning person. For those that are, how do you get up in the morning and how do you make yourself a morning person??

So what do I do now? Well, I am going to go to the gym at 4:00 again today and either go to another similar kick boxing class or just do a regular workout. I should go to the kick boxing class just because it is out of my comfort zone. The instructor is intense and intimidates me, but that is a good thing, right??? LOL

ANY ADVICE ON HOW TO GET UP IN THE MORNING IS APPRECIATED!!!

True story. 

Is anyone willing to do this for me next Wednesday?? 

Have a good Wednesday. We are almost to Friday folks!!!! YAY!!!!
