Congratulations to Aleesha/Recycling Goddess - I'm blown away by your amazing willpower. Great job!!

How does everyone fit exercise into their lives, and how do you keep up with it? I'm 20 and my cardiovascular fitness is basically nonexistent... which worries me and I want to start exercising regularly. I'm afraid that I won't be able to stick with it, whatever "it" may be...

[recycling goddess]

you simply do it. get into the routine and then it's just natural... like feeding your snakes on the same day every week LOL

30 minutes of cardio is a great start... going for a brisk walk after dinner... works!

[recycling goddess]

Congrats, 'Leesha! That's awesome! I haven't made as much progress as I was hoping. I've lost 5 pounds since January, but it's been pretty touch and go I am getting more exercise than I was, which is nice. I've got a count down going to graduation...and I need to get to the gym more and be more consistent with my diet if I want to shape up some more by then 73 days to go!

Exactly.

I use to HATE to workout and now it has become an addiction. I was working out at the gym for a while last year and then I broke a couple ribs and had to stop.

My husband and I decided to do the p90x workout and it is amazing! It is about an hour everyday..you can take one day off at the end of the week or do the stretching...which I will do cause I love to stretch.

If you really want it, you will do whatever it takes to make it happen. We get up at 5:00 am every morning to workout so that we get it done and out of the way. It works for us cause we are completely lazy in the evenings and don't want to do jack.

I had lost about 36 lbs. than put about 16 back on. Took a pic last week and didn't like what I saw, so back at it. Got 6 back off. I get extremely depressed in the winter. I used to tan during the winter just to lift my spirits, never got around to it this year, I must have lights on in the house as strong as I can or the depression worsens. I gain weight every winter than take it off in he spring and summer. There is never enough light in the winter.

i have a friend who has a special light she turns on during the day at home... it helps a LOT with her winter depression. especially since we get so much rain, it's very grey here.

I've heard of the lights, but you pretty much have to stay put in one spot for a while to get any benefit from it. Maybe over my computer desk? That would help for about 2 hrs a day!!

I know!! A Zoo Med light!!! Something has to work. If you can find out the maker of the light please!!
