    I know how you feel! My local small gym is so close that I walk to it, and now it's too cold to do so :sad: . So I've opted to just use the old treadmill in my basement. The display screen doesn't work anymore, but the belt still does and it gets the job done!

    My dog makes sure I get out every morning. Otherwise I too would snuggle down and stay longer under the covers!

    ETA: GET A DOG?!? :laugh: :drinker:


    THIS! Once I walk my Pup, I am awake and already in my gear so no excuse!

    I KNOW HOW IT IS JUST TO STAY IN THAT WARM SNUGGLE OF A BED WHEN THE WINDCHILL IS 10 DEGREES OR LESS LIKE TODAY. IN WINTERS PAST I HAVE RELIED ON MY INDOOR CYCLE AND WORKOUT AND WALKING VIDEOS TO KEEP ME ACTIVE . BEARS HIBERNATING IN WINTER WERE SMART. THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO WORKOUT ANYMORE AND STILL LOST WEIGHT. THAT IS A LOUSY APPLICATON FOR US HOMO SAPIENS..

    okay, this is what I used to do when I lived outside DC and had to get up between 4-4:30 in order to get to the gym before work.

    I laid my shoes by the front door with a towel, water, etc.
    SLEPT in my gym clothes

    So, when my alarm went off...I may as well get up and go b/c I'm already dressed, just brush teeth :smile: It worked for me for 4-5 years, then we got rid of our gym membership and put in our own gym in our house...now I NEVER have an excuse not to workout! :bigsmile:

    wow sleeping in the gym clothes! that's such a good idea! I may have to do that... thanks for the tips :)
