Talking Wake up sleepy head challenge - may

Hi all, I hope i am not overrunning another challenge like this -- if i am just point me to it so i can join!!

i am a returning board member but haven't been here in so long i forgot which nick i use to post under years ago. However, i would like to try and support a challenge but its my first time so bare with me lol.

One of the things i would really love to do but suck at doing is working out before work during the week. The reason i would love to do this is because at the end of the day, i always have something happen wherein exercise gets pushed off and not done. UGH.

WHAT'S THE CHALLENGE ALREADY YOU ASK?
Therefore, I would like to see if people are willing to pledge how many days a week total a month they are willing to do their daily work out before starting their day. (for me lol this means getting up and to the gym by 530 a.m.)

I guess for whomever wishes to do this with me for the month of May, copy the list and add your name to it and your pledge of how many days a week total for the month (or pm me the information) and I will create a master list and tally things as the month progresses and i am not sure how awards go, but i would be willing to try and create one people can use as well as a sticker thingy to say you are part if the challenge. We can use this thread for reporting and yes moaning and crying lol and successes!!!


LooksDeceiving pledges 2 days per week totaling 8 days in May.

Hope others will find this interesting and join. If you don't join lol i think whomever does will need all the encouragement people can give!

Default Re: Wake up sleepy head challenge - may

I had already set a personal goal for myself to workout twice a week in the AM so joining this challenge will most certainly keep me accountable!

I AM ALL OVER THIS CHALLENGE. GREAT IDEA!

I pledge 4x a week for all workdays (M-F) to get up between 6 and 6:15 and get my workout done before 7.

Default Re: Wake up sleepy head challenge - may

I prefer morning exercises, but havent been doing them in the first 2 weeks of Induction. Induction Flu + TOM etc derailed me. I restarted on Friday because I wanted to begin May right. This challenge came at the right time and will be a great motivation. Thanks..
