But you you need to spend your time doing things that are important to you.. cleaning doesn't leave much of a legacy, but it'll work it's way back into your schedule.. one more thing.. mornings that I drink swamp juice (named by my kids) I have a better work out.. maybe it would give me a boost of energy in the afternoon as well.. but I think you have to support your work out with nutrition. I just try to eat lot's of fruits and veggies along with all the crap that I hold so dear to my heart.. and arteries. it's way easier than giving it up. <br />hang in there..<br /><br />swamp juice: (suprisingly not horible)<br /><br />one pineapple<br />a little water maybe 1/3 cup <br /><br />blend into juice<br /><br />add a few handfuls of baby spinach, frozen brocolli florets (cheeper, easier, and better consistancy than fresh, but you can use fresh)<br /><br />green bell pepper<br /><br />I blend it REAL good! <br />I keep it in the fridge and it lasts me 3-4 days, but I think i'm going to try a glass at about 4 in the afternoon and see if it gives me a boost of energy.<br /><br />and of course, take any advice.. especially mine, with a grain of salt<br />xoxoThe United Statements of Mericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00058928912228466236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8087509985980178741.post-69267527479224168402010-01-30T16:52:43.315-08:002010-01-30T16:52:43.315-08:00You go girl.

I don't even get up early, and I still take a daily nap...that's right. i accomplish nothing during the typical day besides getting my children to and from school, doing a 38 minute torture session on the treadmill, and then the blissful 1 hour (if I am very lucky) nap with Walker. Don't ask me how the rest of the hours are filled up, because I couldn't tell you, but I think it might have something to do with my continuous eating.Lenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11037219891522063310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8087509985980178741.post-86821793913363725452010-01-27T20:40:15.738-08:002010-01-27T20:40:15.738-08:00Because I am in the know when it comes to this sor...Because I am in the know when it comes to this sort of thing, here's my 2 cents: STOP GOING IN THE FREAKIN MORNING DINGO. Obviously it is different for me because I get free childcare when I go, but drag those beasts with you. Seriously. Go at 9am. Then you get a free kid-less hour all to your lonesome and don't feel hammered the entire day. It makes me feel rejuvenated. I get home a bit after 10, shower, make lunch and poof, my morning is over. Not sure if that sort of schedule works for you, but even if it doesn't. For. The. Love. Stop going at the crack of dawn.Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17120763720983340131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8087509985980178741.post-89529140723396496892010-01-27T17:35:34.101-08:002010-01-27T17:35:34.101-08:00ditto to everything you said. I have been working ...ditto to everything you said. I have been working out almost every morning at 6am for many months now and I feel the same way...I haven't lost a single pound for two months now. I have hit that plateau and have literally become a zombie. The gym and I have a love-hate relationship. That's why I don't "blog" anymore. I just throw on some pictures with a description and call it good. Let me know when you find the secret!Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04413764822230506935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8087509985980178741.post-7374302838041966792010-01-27T15:30:25.845-08:002010-01-27T15:30:25.845-08:00Don't you just LOVE that sore feeling?

You know you've had a good workout when you can't sit to 'P'!<br /><br />You know after the initial bitterness and hatred towards the gym, it just kind of becomes life. It does take a significant amount of time. I don't know when I would fit the gym in if I had kids.
