Dea and FullSteamAhead:
Yeah sometimes I have to DRAG myself out of bed and I would rather be sleeping but with dh up at 5:30 and off by 6:30 and all I can't fall back asleep even if I lay there for a while. lol
We have free t mobile minutes between us so it helps when he is driving to work if I get my butt out the door I have him to talk to for part of the walk.
This a.m. I dragged myself out at 7:30 and was glad I did. It was 69 and is now 85 degrees, though some days it has been in the 100's! I did 90 minutes today, yesterday was cool and cloudy so I got 90 minutes in that day too. Wheee!!!
Plus it is such a nice feeling to get home relax, eat breakfast, then I tell myself whooo! got that off the pate for the day. Other wise you spend the whole rest of the day with it looming over your head and if something comes up, it is easier to not go. Or it gets too hot, or you get busy etc, etc. lol
It is nice outside in the a.m., I agree. Yeah here in the evenings it cools off pretty nice still but by then I just want to sit outside with the family and relax. My usual goal is 60 minutes, if I can get in 90 then even better so that would work with my plan too what you said. But my dh is on his feet all day so we usually don't. Sometimes on the weekends we will. Every one have a great day!
