I'm proud

of myself...you want to know why? Because every other Tuesday I have to go to work at my second job. So I have an excuse NOT to fit in a workout, (Tho the past two time I had been coming in early because of whatever reason so there wasn't any time.) but mostly any other day when I work two jobs the same day, I have this excuse NOT to workout...Even when I tell myself I will workout when I'm done work.

Today I brewed coffee when I got home popped in my Bob Harpers Ultimate Cardio DVD. If you love DVD workout videos I really really suggest this one!) and I did a workout! When I was done I drank my coffee to "wake" me up, at my 6 inch subways sandwich and got ready for work.

Yay me!

Is there a time you felt accomplished by fitting in a workout when all you really wanted to do was nap before work?!

Well every single morning at 5 am I want to keep sleeping, but I hit the gym instead

Good job girl!

Whoa!!! you're crazy...lol I'm up at 5am but I gotta work for 6 hehe. Other than that I'd never go to the gym that early haha. But that's awesome you can do that! you deserved three cheers for that one!

Congrats!! That is awesome! It's way too easy to just rest and the fact that you went and worked out is awesome!

I've been fitting in small workouts here and there even when I've been to the gym. Instead of sitting around (even if I have work to do) I find myself on edge and I have to move or do something. I have a set of 12lb hand weights and I had one 15 but the second one just came in (and I was super excited, that shows how crazy I am, lol!) so I give my self some small strength training sessions.

Right on!

I had to start going in the morning not because I love it, but because too many things kept getting in the way in the evening! Plus I would always be SO tired from working all day and wanting to sleep instead! I always dreaded going to the gym. Now I look at it going in the morning as just a part of my normal morning routine. Makes it a little easier for me

I had the same sort of moment yesterday! I left at 9 am and wasn't home till 11pm. Lot's of study/meetings and a girls night. Was deadtired but knew I'd eaten too much so instead of straight to bed I jumped on the stepper for 30mins. (Woulda done 60 but my mom wanted to sleep.. lol).

Yay for us!

"damn you mom" lol just kidding but thats awesome! Sometimes it's hard just to do it, but in the end doing it makes you feel so good! I guess it's true when they say "no one ever regreted working out" lol

LindB - that's true, I'm not a morning workout person though, I just can't do it even on days off. I'm done work at 2pm and my life isn't completely busy so nothing stops me but myself. lol but I find 6pm or 7ish I get the best workouts in, when I do at home video's. But when it comes to the gym I force myself to go right after work right away or else I know I won't go if I go home first haha.

sontaikle - Wow the highest weight I have at home is 5. lol but I don't really lift weights they're mostly for my workout video's and for now I don't think I can do with more than 5 pounds with the videos. but at the gym I life 10 - 15 pounds weights. hehe.

jessica2231 & Diamond Thanks!

philana- do you have a stepper at home? do you also belong to a gym? I am considering investing in a not too expensive stationary bike. I think it would be great to have it at home to just jump on during your favorite show or something....but I also have a gym membership so I'm not sure how much sense it makes. Plus I loathe clutter.

I just added Bob's DVD to my Amazon wish list... thanks for the tip! And well done!

LindsB: I bought a ministepper a few days ago (only like 30 dollars), it's not the perfect workout but I can stay on it for an hour, sweat some, have my heartrate up and watch TV, I plan on doing it every day, and for the last 3 days I have. I am a big series-freak, so I can't watch any untill I've watched the first one on the stepper, haha. I am actually about to cancell my gym membership because I recently moved and am not liking this gym. We have weights at home, I run 3/4 times a week and I ride my bike to work (7miles) 3 times per week. It will have to do!
