Thoughts on working out

For those of you who are on the "trying to get fit” plan, like so many of us are, how do you find the time to fit in your workouts? I ask since I’m seeing the scale move in the right direction (with the help of Weight Watchers) and I want to be sure and keep it up.

However, it seems like often I’m SO busy that it’s very easy to want to skip the gym and just go home to spend time with my husband.

I’m not a morning person and never will be. Ever. I enjoy my evening workouts except for the huge crowds at the gym and want to be sure to get them in.

With travel and Junior League meetings and trying to stay caught up with friends it’s tough! I could very easily find myself saying no to potential plans because I want to get in my workouts, but I’d really rather have a balance.

Luckily, the hotel I was in earlier this week had a fitness center and the hotel we're in this weekend does as well. But, tonight I have League and tomorrow night dinner plans with my MIL that could run a bit late.

How do you all do it? I'd love to see how you make it work.

I am having SUCH a hard time with this now. Before I got married and moved to FW, I would go on my way home from work. The YMCA was literally a minute up the same road as my apartment, and the only way I could get myself to go was to pack gym clothes every morning and go straight there after work. If you're able to, that's what I'd recommend because it doesn't give you the chance to go home and sit on the couch. Otherwise the alternative would be to get up nice in early to go in the morning.

Since I work from home now, finding the motivation to put on non-pajamas is hard enough, so you can imagine my motivation to go to the gym. I mean, I want to. I just don't. And then I feel lazy because I didn't go to the gym. Again. If I could get myself out of bed before 8:30, I might be able to get myself there early, but I doubt it. It's a vicious cycle.

This is where I struggle. I struggle so much with it. It's not even the time for me, it's just the forcing myself to do it when I'm so tired. Blah. Oh this is just a struggle all around! Weight loss needs to be easier. Blah. XOXO!
