Need your help!..I'm a DoD Civilian female, 65 years old and work a 40 hour week. My hours are 6:30-3:00 so by the time I get home I'm exhausted. I weigh 250 lbs at 5'4" so you see I'm out of shape.
I admire everyone that has posted.. would love to hear if you also work a full time job. and how you find the time to excercise.
Still going strong!! Yesterday was haaaarrrdd, I felt a little ill and a little dizzy but I still went...I just really didn't want to break my streak! I didn't go too hard on myself though, I just did the stationary bike and some arm and leg weights so I could sit down, lol!
This is how January is shaping up:
Jenny
1. Gym workout
2. Pilates class and 20 minute cycle
3. Gym workout
4. Bodypump class
5. Gym workout
6. Gym workout
7. Pilates class
8. 30 mins of weights at the gym
9. Pilates class
10. Gym workout
11. Bodypump class
12. Gym workout
13. Yoga class
Anyone else doing exercise every day, have you noticed how much more washing you're doing? And how many more showers you're having? It's often two a day for me, and I can never find any socks anywhere!!

I work full time (40 hrs a week, 8am - 5pm) but am fortunate in that I live very close to where I work. My commute is 11 minutes, so I don't lose a lot of time commuting. I go home at lunch to eat and let my dog out.
I often walk at lunch with my dog, that squeezes in about 20 minutes of exercise. I'm not a morning person ( I wish I was ) so the rest of my exercise I do in the evening. My DH and I rotate cooking chores, so it's a lot easier on the nights he cooks. I work out while he's cooking. On the nights I cook, I cook, eat, rest for about 30 minutes, and then workout. Sometimes that means I'm working out as late as 8:30 or 9pm, which isn't ideal. I do also try to take my dog for a walk in the evenings. Note that we are empty nesters so I don't have demands from children any longer which frees up a lot of my time.
I find that if I'm diligent about exercise, I don't get much tv or reading in. I try to allot enough time for one tv show a night, but sometimes I don't have time. I'd rather give up tv than miss my exercise. I do often read a little at bed time, which cuts into my sleep, but I love to read.
