attempting a new motivation system

I would like someone or possibly more that I would be accontable to in the mornings. My goal is to be up an elipticizing by 6. No one I know here gets up that early. I would dig it if I had someone to call and all that, but even better if I could check in after my workout via email or IM or message board whatever works. I figure that way I would feel like "I can't tell them I didn't do it"...or get encouragement if I don't. Say hey if I do and good job if you did too. I don't know how to receive calls that early without disturbing my household, but maybe intercepting a call would be motivation enough :big_smile:What do you guys think and have you tried out stuff like this, how did it go?

Sometimes I'm up that early but lately I've been getting up at 3:10 a.m. to help my son with his transition to his new early job and I go back to bed at 5:30 a.m. for about 2 hours, so I'd miss you, otherwise I would love to do the same, I think that is a wonderful idea, I like being accountable, too, it helps keep me in check - no one here really cares whether I work out or not! Good luck, hope you find someone to help you out, otherwise, just get on and post to let us know you did it, I'll watch for you!
