What a very nice offer. I have really struggled due to juggling jobs/commute/kids etc...but I finally found out that in the end it is about dedication. I joined a gym by my work. If I get too busy at work and can't get my weight routine in then I use exercise bands at home. If I miss a cardio day at the gym then I do Tae Bo or walk/jog at home. Any given workout I have exactly 30 minutes that I can spend working out - I have to fit within that. On days where everything falls to crap I call that a rest day. I used to try to say that Monday I will do x,y,z at a certain time, Wednesday and so on and designate a rest day. Well - it just led to frustration.
I also started keeping an exercise journal in a small spiral notebook - HUGE help. Once I got honest with myself then I find that I am able to get 5-6 workouts in with 2/3 being weights and 2/3 being cardio. It isn't perfect and I won't be entering any bikini contests but I am seeing some headway. On days when I am really mentally or physically exhausted then I do one of my easy Pilates or Yoga videos. I am always open for suggestions especially if you have found some particular tricks that you want to share.
The funny thing is that among the Sex Starved people on this board more than a few are workout buffs. Can we all say SUBLIMATION??? I know I'm sublimating but hey, yesterday was leg/butt day and H kept rubbing away despite his cold. Didn't get any but I can tell he's noticing the effort.
