Hey guys,
SO excited you'll be joining me on this early morning challenge! It'll be hard but I know it'll be so worth it! Does anyone has a preference on when they'd like to start it? I am thinking Monday the 26th once the Christmas holiday has come to an end. Plus this will give people time to mentally prepare themselves. (If you're anything like me, this will take some SERIOUS dedication lol). Let me know your thoughts and we will choose an official date! Looking forward to it!

    Works for me, although Mondays are my rest days. I generally work out Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday's. Will probably keep that schedule during the challenge but you can start it any day you want. I do suggest everyone take rest days, otherwise you risk injury.

    Next question, how are you keeping track of the workouts? We supposed to post them in the group weekly thread?

    I took advantage of daylight saving time to get up at 6 instead of 7 (almost painlessly) but I've been dozing in a bit so it becomes 6:15, 6:30... So my goal is to wake up at 6 consistently during the week. Then I'll push it back to 5:30. I will say that having a bedtime alarm is helpful: http://gretchenrubin.com/happiness_project/2012/02/im-working-on-my-happiness-project-and-you-could-have-one-too-everyones-project-will-look-different-but/

    December 26th, 90 minute workout starting at 10am - day off.. slept in.
    December 27th, 90 minute workout starting at 5:30am

    Should be the same for the 28th (5:30am).. 29th will be a rest day, then the 30th (5:30am), 31st, and 1st are all normal workout days, although the 31st and 1st might be late mornings (weekends I tend to sleep in a bit).

    Day 3 done. Tomorrow and Friday might be tough because my grandchildren will be here -- small children and early morning workouts aren't a good combo IME, but I'll do what I can.
