I have to admit my surprise to how much added energy I have now that I've started exercising regularly! The last time I got this much exercise, I was thinner, so I know that a lot of the energy I had then came from not being overweight (and from being younger! *sigh* ), but wow! I'm not going to be entering any marathons any time soon, but I can at least run around with the kids in the backyard some now. Feeling the extra energy is definitely a boost to keep me on track. Sometimes it's hard to feel motivated when the "reward" of trying to lose weight seems so far off, so this perk of energy from the near beginning is awesome!

I know exactly what you mean! Being "ALMOST" 40, with three kids (11, 7, and 16 months) it's awful not to be able to play with them! I've been doing TAEBO at least five days a week for the last three weeks - and I can feel it already. It's amazing. Don't get me wrong...I'm still falling asleep in the chair by 9:00, but I can at least make it through most days and not feel like a comlete slug!

Keep up the great work!

Yep, after almost 4 weeks of being back on track with the exercise, I'm feeling so energized also! I'm getting up earlier - falling asleep faster - and getting much more accomplished each day! And that's with still feeding my baby every 3 hours or so at night!
