I'm not trying to be an enabler or anything here, but anybody with your schedule would find it ridiculous to fit in an hour long workout when you only have 2 free hours a day. Give yourself a break, chica. Will the workload get any easier or is this the way it always is? If it will get easier, then hold on until then and start working out then. If it's always like this, maybe it's time to look for a new job (?). Either way, don't be so tough on yourself. It takes time and energy to lose weight. Sounds like you are short on both right now. Just do the best you can! And enjoy the success you have had so far. You deserve to be treated well.Laura Nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07916626845812229646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7016171802074533735.post-13518263808505250662008-02-25T00:47:00.000-06:002008-02-25T00:47:00.000-06:00WTG on the loss! ; ) Good luck on the the exerci...WTG on the loss! ; ) Good luck on the the exercise and fitting it in!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7016171802074533735.post-66798607772139008032008-02-24T23:24:00.000-06:002008-02-24T23:24:00.000-06:00I was working 10 and 11 hour days for a couple of ...I was working 10 and 11 hour days for a couple of weeks, and I missed my work outs and felt terrible about it. I think it is legitimate to feel to0 tired to exercise when you work that much. Are you expected to always keep up that pace? I would go crazy. Not to go Pollyanna on you, but exercise is a great stress reliever, so I would consider getting something in on the weekend. Even just walking with your boyfriend is good - I know, you're covered in snow, so I guess a gym is the only option? Shoot! Good luck this week! And congrats on skipping the chocolate eggs. Soon it will be summer and we can drink water and eat fruit all day!!

I know....we've all heard those things before but they truly do make a difference.

Pick a time... early morning, night, lunch... and just do it. Start out slowly so you don't burn out. I ride my recumbent exercise bike for 14 minutes, 3x a week while my toddler is napping. You'll feel so much better if you get on a schedule. Your body will thank you!Lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06926887495148083672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7016171802074533735.post-86003353838266124972008-02-24T14:35:00.000-06:002008-02-24T14:35:00.000-06:00Being close to the 160's is sooo cool!You work rea...Being close to the 160's is sooo cool!<BR/>You work really, really hard, long hours and I'm not surprised you don't feel like exercising at night.

You are so good at making the right choices and cosistently..which is another example of how you TRULY have changed your midset and this will not be a temporary loss for you..but a permanent one b/c you HAVE actually learned great habits. You are a continued source of inspiration. Can't wait to read your post when you hit the 160's.Hey, don't beat yourself up over exercise, you have been working so hard on the eating and mental aspects and will get the other stuff in when it's time.

Just keep making good choices, but also allow yourself to indulge in a little treat now and then so you don't feel deprived. Keep up the wonderful work Heather, you are doing so GOOD! =)<BR/><BR/>~CDCherry Dolphinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05091839421886939773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7016171802074533735.post-11529301781491269032008-02-23T15:23:00.000-06:002008-02-23T15:23:00.000-06:00I know exactly that feeling: you've worked a 12-ho...I know exactly that feeling: you've worked a 12-hour day and when you come home it's an enormous effort to do the barest minimum. Days like this, you should feel proud that you're eating healthy. Sometimes that's all you can do.<BR/><BR/>But if I might nag you the slightest bit? Gently? It's really important that your company appreciates that this is, to quote one manager I know, "a heroic effort" on your part and not standard expected behavior. Once this pressure-period is over with, you do get to relax and recuperate, right? <BR/><BR/>One company I worked for, I worked an 18 hour day and my manager thought I was being a hopeless wimp when I wanted to go home the next day a whole 2 hours early. (Mind you, she'd left at 5 pm the day before. Overtime was for peons.) It's not possible to stay healthy if your company doesn't have some respect for your personal boundaries.<BR/><BR/>Okay, no more nagging. You really are doing a great job.The Merryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09660495393832517684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7016171802074533735.post-56564299773500583242008-02-22T20:49:00.000-06:002008-02-22T20:49:00.000-06:00You will be in the 160s even quicker with some exe...You will be in the 160s even quicker with some exercise but I know how hard it is to fit it all in and I don't have kids either. Where do people find the time? It is possible to lose with diet alone but it takes so much longer and is harder to sustain. <BR/><BR/>I can't wait to see you reach your goal.

So indulge... but just a little! I understand about the not having time for working out and being exhausted at the end of the work day. I haven't been to the gym in two weeks since I started working time. Thank goodness this is a temporary work thing for me because it feels incredibly frustrating! Hopefully your work slows down a little bit so you can at least squeak in a little walk at lunch.Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00266697801138867529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7016171802074533735.post-55356201156418790232008-02-22T19:29:00.000-06:002008-02-22T19:29:00.000-06:00I've been noticing food a lot more this week and f...I've been noticing food a lot more this week and feeling a lot of temptation. I was in the mall and cookies were calling to me, I resisted but an hour later even after I was home I still could smell them.
