[quote=Anonymous]I work full time and have two young kids.  I have not been able to figure out when to exercise after having baby #2.  I know intellectually that getting up early and exercising before work every day is the only way that I'm ever going to be able to consistently exercise.  The problem?  I am a chronic snooze-button user.  I have been pretty much my entire life.  I currently set my alarm at 6:15 but don't actually get out of the bed until 6:45 or 6:50.  I generally get in bed between 10:30pm and 11 and am asleep by 11:30.  DH is similar in his approach to the snooze button.  When I have an early meeting or a plane to catch or a "hard" deadline, I am able to get out of bed when the alarm goes of but if there's any wiggle room, I snooze.  I have told myself countless times that I'm going to get up early and exercise but my sleepy 6am brain always, always hits the snooze button instead.  FWIW, I am very punctual and am never late to meetings, appointments, etc., even if they are in the morning.  I just always have less time to get ready/do the morning routine that I would like.

I realize this sounds a little bit silly but does anyone have any advice on how to break the snoozing habit and actually get up early to exercise?  I'd love to hear from a chronic snooze-button abuser like me who was able to reform.  I'd also appreciate hearing from other working moms who exercise before work to hear how you structure your mornings and who gets the kids ready for the day.  Thanks![/quote]
