6/9 QOTD: What's your first thought upon waking in the morning?

What's your first thought upon waking in the morning?

Mine is usually "It's too early for him to be up!" (my son is an early riser.)

Usually mine is about my work day and what's on my agenda. I am going to work on that starting tomorrow :)

Michelle,

Mine is usually the same as yours (4 yr old son) or that it's too soon to get up when the alarm goes off.

I'm pretty sure, without exception, mine is "oh, God..."  I'm not sure if it's a prayer or a curse, but there it is.  I am NOT a morning person.

Well, my very first thought is always, "Do I have enough time to hit the snooze button again?"  My first productive thought lately has been whether I have enough time to get ready and get my butt out of the house early enough so I can walk to work or whether I'll have to drive.  This week, it's all about driving!

I usually look at the clock and think, "how much longer can I sleep"

I get up the same time every day, whether the alarm is on, or not.  Well, pretty much, anyway.  First thought is usually something along the lines of "do I work today or not?".  I work every other weekend, so sometimes Saturday/Sunday are workdays and sometimes not.  Once I get that sorted out in my mind (sometimes that takes minute!), then it's usually something along the lines of looking forward to weighing in to see if I've lost anything (yes, I weigh myself every day and yes, I know this is not considered a healthy thing).  For me, weighing in puts a level of accountability in there for me that's not there when I weigh once a week or monthly.  It keeps my mind on making the choices that will drive the scale down.  I don't get upset if the scale goes up and sometimes it can go up a pound and a half or two in one day but then it always comes down.   This helps me to understand and respect the natural fluctuations of my body.   Anyway that's what runs in the hamster wheel in my head first thing in the morning.  Have a wonderful day.

I weigh myself every day for the same reason. And usually, I write it on my calendar, then take an average of the week so I can see true progress from week to week. It's helpful to me to see how my body changes due to various issues. As long as you don't obsess over it, it's fine to weigh in every day!

first thought?........... @#%^ it's time to get up @#%$@#^ hehe. can ya tell i hate waking up in the morning?
