I feel so much better with an AM working rather than a PM workout that leaves me wide awake past 10pm which is not my preference. During the school year, when I am working out between 5 and 6 AM and to work by 715am, I am usually to be and asleep by 930! I have a really hard time sleeping in past 7 or 8am on weekends; it makes me feel lazy! <BR/><BR/>Great post, Rachel!teacherwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15791382386588836461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11239428.post-15845556060887812652008-06-26T12:24:00.000-07:002008-06-26T12:24:00.000-07:00Great post...

After PE I went back to take a nap before first formation :-)<BR/><BR/>Now, I've been getting up at 6 AM, and I NEED to get up earlier. We'll see. It takes time. I agree with you 100% though.

A lot of things come up late in the day and if I've already gotten in my workout for the day, I don't stress over working an extra 30 minutes or so.<BR/><BR/>Having everything laid out and ready to go is a huge help.Ann (bunnygirl)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04938134750150653386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11239428.post-28107494557332913132008-06-25T18:25:00.000-07:002008-06-25T18:25:00.000-07:00I am SO not a morning person and that needs to cha...I am SO not a morning person and that needs to change!
