Get Up Early & Wear Smaller Pants

My girlfriend and and I just started a pool today.

We have to get up early to work out 4 out of 5 weekdays (one free day per work week) and do a workout. We are aiming for one of the 30DS workouts because they're so easy and we won't have to wake up super early. We do love our beds.

We have to send a picture text to the person governing our "honor system," proving we've either started or finished working out.

If we fail to do so we owe $20 PER DAY!

We'll see how it goes.

    Great idea! It works! I've been getting up early to do my runs for my half marathon training as well as my strength/cross training days (M, T, W, F) and I'm really liking it. I have more energy during the day because of the workout and I'm able to enjoy more food during the day because of the extra calorie burn.

    $20/workout...that would be very motivating.

    We figured we'd go back to sleep if it were $5 haha!
    I am getting in my workouts per week, but not enough. That's why we decided to go this way and see how it goes!
