This is my call for encouragement from the ranks!

I went to my follow-up on my meeting a month ago with the trainer at the gym.  And the results were not good.  I gained 5 pounds.  So, at the strong recommendation of the trainer, I’m trying to go to the gym at 5:00 AM.

Yeah.  5 o’clock in the morning.

Also called “What the heck am I doing out of bed already?!”

And, hey!  I did it this morning.  It was really early.  And I was really tired for hours afterward.  But the trainer had some really good points.  I joined the gym to see some changes in my weight.  I met with her to get her help in making that change.  And if what I’m doing isn’t working, I should follow her advice.  And her advice is to join her at the gym at 5:oo in the morning.  Plus, the research I did this morning (all 5 minutes worth) made it sound like working out in the morning has some really great benefits.

So I’m giving it a go.  And I’m making it widely public to all of you so you can help keep me accountable.  Monday through Thursday.  5 AM.  Fridays I’ll go in the afternoon because I’ll have more time.  Except for this Friday because we’re going out of town, so I’ll be there at 5.

I might be a little crazy.  But I’ve hit the point where I’m closer to 250 than 200 pounds and that’s just sad.  What am I doing over 200 pounds?!  What am I doing over 150 pounds?!  I have a lot of work to do.  And if 5 AM is what has to happen in order to lose that weight, then 5 AM is what I have to do.

Oh, boy.

Justin is being fantastically encouraging about it.  He’s wonderful.  But I don’t want to make him have to do all the support because that’s just rough.  So can ya’ll help me, too?

I really need all the help I can get . . . .
