the early bird gets the ... workout?

I've never really been able to stick to a regular exercise routine.   I've kept one up for a few months at a time.. then slacked off... picked it back up again, but never enough to be considered a legit routine. I always felt I needed to exercise after work. One main reason being, I'm not a morning person, to say the least. 
 Usually in the morning, I resemble this:
Notice the head buried against the arm of the couch-- begging to be left alone and returned to his kitty dreamland. 
But instead, as part of this whole "really being committed thing" I've asked the Man to bear my grumpiness and wake me up when he gets up (at around 6:30ET) so I can sweat it out a little while before I need to start getting ready for work. 

It's only been two days, and I still feel like I'm going to die a little bit each morning, but the concept is working.  It does start my day off right, and I hope to exercise in the evenings too... but if I can't due to dinner plans/working late/grocery shopping/etc. it doesn't eliminate my much needed workout time. 
I still have my mini-morning session, and though I may still be half asleep-- it counts.  Right?
