Morning People

I need some advice. I am NOT a morning person. I can barely drag myself out of bed by 7:00 to take care of the kids!

I would "like" to do my weight lifting and running in the morning. It is so hard to fit it in during the day. Some days my hubby watches the kids right before dinner so I can knock it out but then on other days my workout has to wait until 8 or so at night. As it is there are a couple other things that I would like to do at night when the kids are in bed other than exercise!

I don't have a jogging stroller so I can't take them with me on runs and I learned my lesson about trying to do dumbbells with kids underfoot. Dumbbells + kids = busted toe. Besides, exercising is my ONLY time to myself so I would like to keep it that way:-)

I don't have anybody to watch them for me either during the morning or early afternoon:-( I used to trade with a friend and I miss that.

So answer me this riddle, how do you turn a night owl into a morning person? I typically go to bed between 10 and 11 so I always get 7 to 8 hours of sleep. I have tried setting three alarms, going outside upon waking, cold showers, coffee, having someone call me and a few other things to help get me used to waking up at 5:30 or 6 but I just can't seem to do it! I just DRAG through the morning and if I let myself sit or lay down I immediately zonk out again. Any ideas other than Boot Camp?
