Sing it with me!

AUGH! Went to sleep early to go to the gym - emailed Jeff and confirmed the gym. then went to bed - and didn't set the alarm. I woke up 1/2 an hour AFTER I'm supposed to be at the gym with Jeff. It's one thing for me to sleep in and not make it to the gym - but it's a shitty thing to do to strand Jeff because I'm not smart enough to operate an alarm clock. So fumbled around to call Jeff in a sleepy stupor. He'd emailed me "Hey - I'm downstairs waiting - where are you?" - - Thankfully, Dave [livejournal.com profile] dhbearguy gave him a lift - but I still feel like a superschmucktm.

Oh I have totally done that before - especially with early morning gym alarms. I think its something internal saying "you don't want to go - you don't want to go"

thats what my neighbor said as we walked to the train. It was a subliminal message from my body saying, "Um. no. we're not going to do that today."

it works 99% of the time. I become the evil "I've been up since 5am cheerful morning person" at the office - that everyone else here blogs about.

"OMG - the web director is way too fucking cheerful. He must die.


It's my role in life.

Don't worry about it! I've done it once to you, so now we're even. I was actually looking forward to going back to sleep when Dave asked me if I wanted to go with him and Kyle. It was one of those damn! um...great! moments.

thanks for being understanding. I'll be there tomorrow at 6am barring any other natural (or unnatural) catastrophe. (wink)

You'd really hate my mornings then. I'm up at 4:15 so I can be at the gym ready to go by 5:00.

Ugh! I can safely say that I am not a morning person, especially when it comes to my gym workout.

what you callin' unnatural? :) (wink)

I'm exhausted just reading this.
Do you talk to anyone while you're doing this.... especially BEFORE the latte stop????
From: [identity profile] low-fat-muffin.livejournal.com
(giggle) I talk to Jeff in the car. (when I actually manage to pick him up) and I am social at the gym - although not a cruisy cathy - I am there to workout. and I do chat at the dogpark - but that's after coffee. Vitamin C is an important treat for having been to the gym. :) it's all about rewards and perspective right?
From: [identity profile] cuyahogarvr.livejournal.com
Yep that's right. Eating all the pasta I want is my reward for running 3-5 miles a day. I run to eat pasta!

B and K have been trained not to expect any conversation from me until AFTER a cup of coffee, sometimes two, so to imagine doing a full workout before that is just beyond my comprehension.

B&K :) i love that.

almost like you are saying a single word: "beunkay"

and pasta - is hot. pasta is also a great reward.

Isn't that the way this sort of thing goes? Yesterday, I got up with the alarm but it was bad mojo. The alarm woke me out of a dream, which always leaves me exceptionally disoriented and drowsy. That left me in the thick of a struggle between going to the gym and crawling back into bed. It didn't help that I was afraid I was coming down with a cold.

I got up, took the dogs out for their morning "business" and then decided to do my morning meditation and see how I felt after. The meditation was out of focus so I decided to just to back to bed and get some rest.

I guess that's the advantage of not having a workout partner. Otherwise I'd have had to drag my sorry ass to the gym anyway.

I don't see what the big deal is... I'm always up and alert by 5... PM, that is.
