Well, except for allergies. Yesterday I skipped working out because my allergies were killing me.

So today I was feeling guilty because I'm still not feeling great, but better than yesterday. I managed to make it all the way until 8pm before I decided I need to work out somehow, but without leaving the house.

I just went old fashioned with 6 sets of body weight squats: 30, 25, 20, 15, 10, 5. http://www.acefitness.org/exerciselibrary/135/bodyweight-squat. You might be surprised at how out of breath you will get doing just simple exercises with body weight. I definitely was.

I have this rule that helps me feel guilty, but not too guilty, while keeping me on track: it is okay to skip working out for one day, but not for two. And if I do skip one day, I have to work out at least the next two days in a row.

Point is, we all make excuses for why we overeat or skip working out. And we really don't have any. It's okay to slack off and screw up some of the time, just not most of the time. Now that I did something today, I feel much better. And it only took me about 15 minutes to alleviate what would've been a few more hours of guilt before bed.

Yeah, smartphone=iPhone.

Search for C25K in the app store. There are several to choose from.

Check iTunes. 5K Runner is one some of my friends have used. It also posts to Facebook if you want it to, which is nice for encouragement and getting friends on board.

I started going to the gym at 530am because that is the only time by bf and gym buddy can make it. My husband was shocked because I have refused to do that since I had to in college. My response was I didn't go through all this to let an early hour stop me! I still hate mornings, but I love getting healthy! My BIL is a personal trainer and he just designed a "ninja" work out to shred fat and kick my butt! Hopefully I live to tell lol! Good job everyone! Keep up the good work!

I think I made every excuse there was to make to not exercise. Too tired, too hot, too sick. Ect ect. And I will admit that I still do (did). Now I'm sleeved and I did not hesitate to take that plunge and get WLS, why do I hesitate to exercise?

Well, I felt awkward surrounded by people who don't look like they need a gym or need to exercise. Embarassed is the word. I felt embarassed to be seen. Seen, talked about, snickered, laughed at.

Damn! that felt good to get off my chest and out of my head.

NO MORE EXCUSES! I don't make alot of money and can not afford the prices of gym membership these days. My job has a athletic center that all who work on the complex can join if we want to. It's time to join.

And I won't care who sees me. You can laff, snicker, giggle, anything you want, the laffs will be mine down the line.

Thank you COsleeveDude!

Hell, get a couple of videos, and keep it moving at home, if need be. All you need are some weights, a resistance band,and some sneakers. Couple those exercises with walking (briskly), and you will see the results.

I joined a gym thats open 24/7 which is great I have to be to work at 2am and I know I willnot work out after work,so I go in around 1230am walk a mile on the treadmill and then the weight machines,then off to work,love it
