  • 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

    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.
