CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Well done for your morning workout, I am proud of you!! :)

Lots of flurries of snow the last few days here in London, but nothing much has settled. It’s freezing tho! I went to bed with a hot cushion last night!! (I can’t remember his name….LOL ;)

Have a great day now that you’re pumped up! Makes a difference eh

Oh dear Tusc. Sorry to hear that you’re not feeling well. I wouldn’t listen to what other people say but hey if it works to motivate you I suppose it’s not all bad.

And to answer your question…YES I did make it out of bed this morning. Just got back in about 20 minutes ago actually. I couldn’t believe we had snow. Did you get any?

Getting up early isn’t actually that bad once you get out of bed. It’s just the very first minute when you actually have to get up and move out of the warm bed into the cold room. Once you have adjusted you stop feeling so tired and the tiredness goes away quite quickly.

Great post Tom. My motivation has been at an all time low since I got ill over xmas. And now, to cap it all, I have a tooth infection and am on anti biotics for this week…boohooo!! However, I know me, and once I feel strong enough, I’ll need a kick up the arse to get back into my exercise routine. I will come here and read your insightful comments!

Plus, I will remember that a so called friend told me I was fat last week. Nothing like an insult to get me motivated. Last time someone told me I looked fat I lost 16lbs! Not that I’m advocating ‘tough love’ as it could have the opposite effect too!!

So, DID you get your butt out of your warm bed this morning??
