I am totally not a morning person. never have been.
when I was at high school/uni and lived downstairs under the kitchen we had a special wake up routine every morning because my alarm would go off, and I would keep hitting snooze (I am one of those people that can hit the snooze button for over an hour) but I wouldn't get up. So mum would stomp on the kitchen floor, and my nephew would yell at me through the kitchen floor that it was 5mins after the time I had to leave home (it never was, it was just a scheme we had set up to scare me into getting up). and of course I was never happy happy joy joy in the morning. don't look at me and don't talk to me if you value your life.
of course, since K was born, the good ol'days of sleeping until 11am on the weekends are gone. Sleeping until 8am is a bonus! I should be used to it by now. but ....
cut to 27th May 2009. everyone awake around me (actually J egging K on to jump on me etc) while I try to hide under the covers. just. 5. more. minutes. sleep.
it is 9am and I am just becoming human. for some reason the last few weeks I have really been dragging myself out of bed each morning, and no matter how much I sleep I still feel lethargic. J reckons I have 5月病 which seems to have presented itself in a physical form this year, where as this time last year I was more anti-Japan and homesick. At least this time around I don't have those feelings (am actually in a "I am ok, Japan is ok" type mood at the moment, god knows why!?) and home life is good, I might have even lost a teeny bit of weight (just jumped on the scales, and yep, looks like I am down 1kg, yay! only 2 more to go until I start to feel normal again. It is wierd, even 3kgs over makes me feel blah, and all my clothes are deemed useless bcoz they just don't fit on my fat days)
just gotta get over this physical feeling of だるい。 there was a very BRIEF period of time when I would get up early in the morning (6am is early for me) and go for a bike ride before work - could only do this when friend L was pushing me to. but i would like to try to get back into some running or cycling. and if I want to do it in the morning, it would have to be before J goes to work, so maybe I need to drag myself out of bed at 6am for a morning jog.
starting tomorrow
(maybe)

ReplyDeletei am so not a morning person, either. and, i also need to start getting up early to get some exercise done....
ReplyDeleteI need at least 8 hours of sleep to function, so if I go to bed a 1am I get up a 10 am- but I have been doing my workouts at night.. I get up, make the beds, sweep, mop, tiddy up, get dressed.... then relax but run after monster all day, work for 6 hours, get home have dinner, and then I do my work out--- before monster... I was able to do it early.... Start off slowly, eventually it will pick up at an easier speed.
ReplyDeleteI am NOT a morning person. Nope, no way. Don't even bother talking to me before 9 on a good day... 11 or so on a bad one :P
ReplyDeletethis baby thing is going to rock my world lol
Good luck on your regime!!! I looove bike riding!! It's my exercize fave :)
thanks for all the comments - glad I am not the only non-morning person.
ReplyDeleteyep, gotta get an excerise regime done. I don't mind doing it at night, but I sorta feel that it is not like when I was living in the inaka and I would go for an hour walk at 10 or 11pm, or when I was single and could go for a swim at 6pm when everyone else was out of the pool and at home eating dinner - usually got a lane to myself!! woohoo! and I know that waking up early and doing some running actually makes me feel more genki and HAPPY for the day - all those endorphins I guess. (maybe a glass of champas in the morning would have a similar effect tho! lol)
