Put your alarm clock across the room and make yourself a promise that once you get out of bed, you won't get back in. Have all your workout clothes ready to go. I find that if I don't have everything ready, I convince myself that I'm too tired to find anything to wear so I stay in bed. You can do it girl! We'll be checking in on ya tomorrow to see if you got up or kept your lazy butt in bed. ;)
BTW- I just ran across your diary and you have come so far! I am so impressed and motivated by you! You totally surpassed your first goal of just getting to 150... AWESOME! :D

once I reach my goal... I'm going to keep working on maintaining weight, and toning those flabby areas of my body... I want to replace the fat with lean muscle, so that will be a constant effort.
