"You need to work on your balance" - Wii Fit Plus Male Trainer

So perhaps one of my goals should be posting on time...

I am proud to report though, that great things are brewing at the headquarters of Me Getting Healthier. This morning my alarm went off at 5:45 am and after lying in bed long enough to finish listening to the song and remind myself why I was being rudely awakened so early I jumped (um... well I really rolled over and then nearly fell, but jumped sounds better) out of bed. About half an hour later a rather dedicated or perhaps slightly crazy friend came over and we then preceded to the basement to exercise.

Amazing, astonishing, and really a bit disgusting. I dislike the morning incredibly.

But I have either a really crazy or very dedicated friend, or both.

She approached me after my last post with a thought, that perhaps I would wake up if I knew someone else was waiting on me. A reasonable hypothesis. This of course meant she had to wake up too, which is less fun on her part. We've decided to meet at 6:15 at my house Monday, Wednesday, and Friday to exercise. We're shaking it up a bit, changing out Cardio videos on Mondays, using the Wii Fit on Wednesdays, and DDR Fridays. The idea being that if its varied enough we won't get tired of it and stick to exercising and waking up early longer.
Tuesdays and Thursdays seemed like good days to meet for lunch and walk somewhere. So if anyone else feels like walking...

I have to admit, waking early and exercising does give me that smug sense of Hah! I exercised!. At the very least, if I took the effort to wake up and exercise, I am much less likely to cheat on my diet.

So that's one piece of the puzzle that seems to be falling into place. Now for the eating portion. The little annoying Wii board avatar this morning told me I needed to eat less.
It is suprisingly blunt.

So that's where I'm headed. Over and out.
