I've been struggling to see where I have gone wrong, I know what I eat isn't always the best or cleanest.....I know I need and should be working out differently by adding resistance training, I know I need to dedicate more time to my health........then why cant I ??
My reason: my kids....husband.....guilt.
As much as Id like to say that my family is 100% supportive, they aren't, they're probably about 90%, the rest is my kids wanting (mainly my son) all my time...husband doesn't mind me working out, he's ok with it, but he also wants his time to wind down once he's home from work, its not fair for me to ask that once he's home to take over the kids and let me do my 1hr wkouts.....so if I wait until my son is asleep its late and I'm tired and don't have energy at all to do my dvd's, that is MY fault.....I have thought to myself that I can wake up early, (4am) do atleast 1 dvd which is 30min take a quick shower get ready and go to work, but once the alarm goes off I hit snooze or just change the time to get up at 5am instead, I do kick myself once I realize what I did but that doesn't stop me..I do need and miss my sleep but I also don't feel as energetic like before I feel blah, maybe its the time change? maybe or maybe its my body punishing me for being lazy.
My one year anniversary is coming up that I have been using myfitnesspal.com and I got to say I thought Id be at my goal by now =( and Id be posting progress pictures, I KNEW that once I hit 130 I would gain it just seems like my body wants to be 130-135 but for my height I should be 114-125 which is what my goal is (125) I know as I get older it will get harder but that cant and wont be an excuse, so I started doing my dvds again even if it was just one 30min (I couldnt keep up I was super tired) I am eating better atleast Im logging EVERYTHING I eat and I WILL NOT lie about the food, if Im ashamed to say what Im eating then I shouldnt eat it.....right?
In May I have a swimsuit photo shoot my cousin and I are doing, its for fun nothing big but I do have a cute one piece I want to look great in.......its hugging but I dont want my legs to look like they are being blown up lol .....so my goal is to just eat what I say and wkout how I know I should be, dont eat after 7pm, only water, one cup of coffee a day and do my best to avoid junk foods..........my reward other than then the photo shoot?
IM DYING MY HAIR DIRTY BLONDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(imagine Jennifer Aniston) woohoo! now Id love to have her shape haha.....well see little by little =)

Oh Lynnette, I am so sorry. Your situation is tough and I don't think that you are aiming to be lazy. I understand. You wake up super early as it is and you don't have much help at the end of the night. G is the same way.
My suggestion is that you go to bed 40 minutes earlier than usual, 2-3 days a week and then wake up at 4:30 am. Set your alarm for 4 am, so you have time to get ready, but put it far away from you. I know your DVD set is for daily, but if you can't get to bed early every night, then saying you will do it 2-3 days a week is more obtainable.
I think you can do this.
If not, another opportunity you have is at the office gym you have access too. Download an app called Round Timer (free)
An example workout:
Set the timer for 7 rounds. Each round will be at 3 minutes with 2 minute "rest". So, jog on the treadmill for 3 minutes and then get off and do weights for 2 minutes. Keep going until all the rounds are done. I think it's a PERFECT opportunity to strength train and still fit in your cardio.
Try it soon.
I agree with Iris. Keep staying inspired and encouraged. If you want it bad enough you will do what you have to do to achieve your goals. I know it't tough but you are a strong woman so go WORK IT OUT! Love you prima.
