I work part time and have two active boys so I have to work out in the early morning. It seems so many unforeseen issues come up and the boys have depleted me of all my energy by the end of the day that I have to reserve the early morning to either go in my basementAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-101663540063389898.post-6444035566667714152009-09-16T07:48:36.560-04:002009-09-16T07:48:36.560-04:00Love your posts!

The gym sure is packed right now! My classes feel like they're overflowing and I am loving the energy. I am also guilty of cutting out sleep in order to fit in workouts (I know- bad Erica part 2).

Lentil, Black bean, yellow pea, vegetable and chicken etc. So easy to make and they last for days. Every year I seem to drop those extra pounds the summer margaritas may have added by eating my soups. I have just started to add a jump rope routine called Jumpsnap (jumpsnap.com).

I...Hi fellow moms, non-moms and exersize buffs. I'm a morning person and with 2 small children, I need to do it in the early morning. When my children were infants and so needed me very early in the morning, I would have my sneakers & gym clothes every day in my desk drawer. I'd eat lunch at the desk then use the last 1/2 hour of work to go up and down the 6 flights of stairs in my Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-101663540063389898.post-27634219162387742832009-09-15T13:37:59.031-04:002009-09-15T13:37:59.031-04:00I'm the queen of squeezing it in!
Waking up ...I'm the queen of squeezing it in! <br /><br />Waking up before the rest of the world helps me find time to exercise. Plus, late in the day, I can always find an excuse for skipping my workout. <br /><br />I also like to "walk" my errands. I pick an area where I can park the car and walk to different locations and check things off my list that way. Sometimes, I'll end up walking Tinahttp://carrotsncake.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-101663540063389898.post-58908252913036054492009-09-15T13:02:41.100-04:002009-09-15T13:02:41.100-04:00I agree with Joanna, if you plan in advance you ca...I agree with Joanna, if you plan in advance you can get excercise into your everyday. <br />I utilize the walks with my dog every morning. He is 14 years old so he's not a super fast walker. I will do lunges or squats, bring hand weights to do upper body work while he is doing his "business". <br />A couple of times during the week a use my lunch for walking time, and then eat when Christine Nnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-101663540063389898.post-54964270018948423932009-09-15T12:52:04.714-04:002009-09-15T12:52:04.714-04:00As a stay-at-home mom with little help I was deter...As a stay-at-home mom with little help I was determined to make the 2 mornings I had to myself while my kids were at school "about me" which is something I'd hadn't done in 5 years! I refused to spend one of those mornings food shopping when I really wanted to go for a run or go to the gym so I could finally attempt to get my body back!

I believe that with a little bit of planning there is always time for healthy meals and fitness...no matter how crazy your day might be. <br /><br />To keep on my nutrition on track, I practice a Sunday Ritual. Translation: Food prep for the week ahead. This includes chopping vegetables for salads, scrambled eggs, and side dishes. IJoanna Sutterhttp://www.fitnessandspice.comnoreply@blogger.com
