You’re welcome!
Also, I’m inviting you to a virtual adventure race. Should be fun. =D I’m thinking that you’ll probably win. But we shall see!

My Fitbit doesn’t provide me the motivation, but is a great tool for keeping myself motivated. I get to see a break down of certain behaviors – such as running at night – and the impact that has on my sleep for instance. The challenges are great and great way to entice you to move more than you typically would have.

Thank you very much for reading, and taking the time to comment!

I’m finding having the Fitbit is another way I’m appealing to my strengths. In this case, the strength of my love of gaming and achievements. I love seeing the fitbit goals I’ve set progress, both in terms of activity, and in getting better sleep, and both are much easier to work towards since getting this tool.
Totally agree about exercising at night. For pretty much all the reasons you lay out.
You’re doing an awesome job, both in doing the thing and then writing about the thing. Good job with the things!

Have you thought about taking a magnesium supplement? It might help with the post running excitement 🙂

Thanks for the encouragement Tim. I hope to document my progress on here which will help keep me motivated to solidify this change.

I know lots of people (myself included) who if we go running past about 6pm end up with a body full of adrenaline (or something) so then spend 2-3 staring at the ceiling instead of sleeping. It’s very frustrating because I agree with you, running at night is great.

Good luck with the Fitness goals. Don’t blow a foofoo trying to do too much too soon!

Tim
