You know what doesn’t work well for me right now? Getting up at 5:30, I keep trying and keep failing. Either I wake up and just feel like I got ran over by a truck or I am nauseous and I crawl back into bed. I have a real aversion to working out after work. It just leaves too many things to interfere. I NEED to work on in the morning, yet I can’t seem to do it. What to do? I am probably only getting in 3-4 workouts a week right now. Which doesn’t work for me. So, I think what I will try is getting up at 6:30 instead. That leaves me with about 30-45 mins to work out if I can be ready to work out by 6:45. This will no longer allow me to run with anyone in the morning, but I am tired of bailing on my running partner anyway. If I can do this at least 3 mornings and have a good workout on Sat & Sun and maybe a good evening run once during the week I should be fine, right! Right? Ugh.

Let's put this into perspective. You're pregnant, experiencing nausea, working full time, and still getting 3-4 workouts per week.
That's pretty damn good. Be proud you can still do this (it will get tougher).
If you are having a hard time with workouts, take a weekly calendar and list on each day when you have free time - and be honest. Then try to schedule your workouts into those time slots. This way, you'll have a plan, and you won't be stressing to make other deadlines.
I like the previous comment. You so don't need to be pushing your limits right now.
That is a tough one and it sounds like your plan is as good as any. Perhaps some rewards might help ya. To help get me back in the routine this week I have bought a few of my special favorite morning drinks and I think all I need to do is get up and I can drink that on my way to the gym!
Good luck! Morning just isn't the right workout time for some folks!
thats the key...get through the week...get those 3 6:30am workouts in if possible and then you can go long on the weekend...
good luck monica
