It's tough when you start, but the snooze button steals time, and that time in bed does not equal rest - it's disrupted and mostly makes you feel more sluggish in the morning!<br /><br />-Instead of a full sweaty workout at lunchtime, how about a 30 minute walk instead of sitting in your car reading or running errands?<br /><br />-Is there any way you can take a 1/2 hour lunch instead of the full hour and leave 30 minutes earlier at the end of the day?<br /><br />-Pack lunches as you are putting away your dinner stuff at night.<br /><br />-Instead of watching TV before you and your hubby spend time together, take a bath, give yourself a manicure, read a book, listen to music, etc. Use that little window for some "pamper me" time.<br /><br />-Do something active with hubby most days instead of watching TV.<br /><br />Hope this helps & good luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8048227863749244576.post-21728239088377538312009-07-08T12:52:13.323-04:002009-07-08T12:52:13.323-04:00Could you have your husband call my husband, pleas...Could you have your husband call my husband, please?<br /><br />I don't know how you do it all in one day, Superwoman.

One thing I do that has helped a bunch is have gym clothes laid out for the week & packed. Wal-Mart currently has Danskin athletic wear on sale. I bought enough pants, tops and bras to get me through the week. When I wash clothes on the weekend, I have them all laid out and ready to go. I keep a gym bag packed in my trunk at all times and a spare pair of tennis shoes. For me, the fuss of getting to the gym was getting to be a bit much so I had to put it on autopilot.Cryshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14891395378440988577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8048227863749244576.post-32895250538052003412009-07-07T12:39:25.815-04:002009-07-07T12:39:25.815-04:00Looking at your schedule - you have a lot of time ...Looking at your schedule - you have a lot of time that could be utilized either for 'you' time or 'other workout' time. <br /><br />45 minutes between alarm off & get up (side note: why is the alarm going off 20 minutes before anyone gets up?)<br /><br />Could you make making lunches/snacks part of what's going on during making dinner or post-dinner clean up? Could you repack your gym bag as your unpacking at night? Is your husband willing to help do these things to help out?<br /><br />Maybe you and your husband could do something between 9-10 active? A walk after dinner, dancing in the living room, tennis? Just thinking of the correlation of tv time & obesity/overweight (your schedule shows you could be watching about 2 hours of tv a day). Maybe not every night, but every other night?<br /><br />Just some ideas.Lauren Starkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00459810974120871466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8048227863749244576.post-48575351126951772182009-07-07T12:24:42.161-04:002009-07-07T12:24:42.161-04:00It's so hard keeping that commitment to workin...It's so hard keeping that commitment to working out because there's so many things you have to, have to do and it's easy to let the exercise slide.<br /><br />Don't let it slide.<br /><br />You know it's one of the keys to losing big-time weight. Keep it as a high priority.<br /><br />I wonder if, as a trade-off for the whopping pay cut, if your company would let you work thru lunch and leave early. That might unclog your schedule a bit.<br /><br />Anyway, keep up the great work.Cole Walter Mellonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14792991151019418800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8048227863749244576.post-90227898836926788452009-07-07T12:19:43.853-04:002009-07-07T12:19:43.853-04:00I love the idea of one week at a time for exercise...I love the idea of one week at a time for exercise - and tada! - you've completed a goal!Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05890227462052573887noreply@blogger.com
