(I often skip them because they tend to make me nauseaus if I don't take them at the right time...) And my last couple workouts were easier. I skipped the TurboKick classes and just walked on the treadmill. Something is better than nothing! I shoudl consider being more flexible in my daytime activities. I think I *could* workout in the afternoon if I planned naptime a little bit. Which would be nice - I tend to be more productive at home if I don't workout in the morning!!! <br /><br />Oh - and I don't know if my HRM is right - I can't believe I'm burning 1000 calories... it just doesn't seem right. But I reset it recently, so it should be accurate. Maybe I need a professional!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05613074382665174689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926444701988044623.post-906419471522708332010-10-14T05:46:15.463-07:002010-10-14T05:46:15.463-07:00I think Sarah's suggestion of prepping meals w...I think Sarah's suggestion of prepping meals when you have energy is great. Also, maybe keep some easy, healthy alternatives around. (I always have whole wheat pasta, jars of healthy sauce, and a tub of shredded parm in the house, for example, which is a super-easy low-time/energy dinner option.)<br /><br />And I'm not a trainer or anything, but maybe tone down the workouts a little? Burning a thousand calories is great, but if it wears you out . . . maybe a 300 calorie, 25 minute jog/walk would be more sustainable, and would leave you with enough resources to make it through the rest of the day?Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10924148145739545925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926444701988044623.post-4097763930276415122010-10-14T04:56:27.536-07:002010-10-14T04:56:27.536-07:00You might appreciate this post: http://escapefromo...You might appreciate this post: http://escapefromobesity.blogspot.com/2010/10/healthy-dinners-in-minutes-easy-pork.html<br /><br />Talks about a way to make something really easy. Also, something that occurred to me is I wondered if you could switch the order of the way you do things? For example, prep meals when you get your second wind at night. Or, you could make food during the day and then go to the gym at night.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00149397754795871378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926444701988044623.post-10536612986844280492010-10-13T20:28:22.457-07:002010-10-13T20:28:22.457-07:00How about working out in the afternoon?

Enough vitamins? <br /><br />Honestly, when we were working out at the gym 5 days a week, I was exhausted for the first 2 weeks. When I thought I couldn't go anymore, my body actually craved the sweating and heart pumping exercise. I was sleeping better. Eating better. Felt better. And I was exhausted when I needed to be (at night) instead of falling asleep in the middle of the day.The Fat Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11311722316950527962noreply@blogger.com
