They get up before me and make it so hard to do anything for myself! They even got up at 4am this morning! I just can't beat that! Thank goodness my hubby decided to put his foot down and sent them right back to bed with a stern talking to! I may just have to start small and cut out a few things add in a few veggies and try the eliptical a couple times a week. Here's to giving it a go!!Marie Cramphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08223354137080970876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4810466599498707869.post-5961374500412713002012-01-12T17:12:46.894-05:002012-01-12T17:12:46.894-05:00Your amazing! thanks for sharing!Your amazing! thanks for sharing!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02736787085653956706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4810466599498707869.post-66888100661994081952012-01-12T14:43:04.576-05:002012-01-12T14:43:04.576-05:00Thanks Athena, I know this is a struggle you can r...Thanks Athena, I know this is a struggle you can relate to, I hope 2012 is a great year for you!<br /><br />Pippa! What a lovely comment!! You made me tear up a bit and you filled my heart with warmth :) Thank you!!<br /><br />Maxly, thanks so much! I went and found that Crazy Aunt Purl post and it was great, thanks for the tip! I think real stories of how hard it is but that it is doable can really help folks move past the obstacles they find. I hope you have a great 2012.<br /><br />Cindy! Thanks so much, very sweet of you :) I know once you get settled into your new life it will be easier to maintain a routine, which I think is key to setting up a new habit. Plus you'll have a nice chef to cook you yummy healthy meals :) xoLiz Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06082326421765682661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4810466599498707869.post-41427753288274020342012-01-08T20:12:15.540-05:002012-01-08T20:12:15.540-05:00You go girl!!

I'm no expert, but you could try it.<br /><br />I have also set an exercise goal this year...not to lose weight, but to get strong and healthy.

Let me clarify t...Thanks for your kind words Ana! <br /><br />Let me clarify that the toll on my business was from going from very overweight and sedentary to being a person who exercises regularly. During the beginning of the weight loss I believe some toxins were released into my bloodstream which caused me some depression. That seems to have passed. <br /><br />I don't think this is analogous to your situation as you are not obese, you are younger, and you might find that exercising regularly gives you more energy, helps you sleep better and gives you a more positive outlook on your situation.<br /><br />I think it's worth adding at least 15 minutes of exercise a day to your weekly routine :)Liz Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06082326421765682661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4810466599498707869.post-23919796488836596032012-01-03T17:03:45.869-05:002012-01-03T17:03:45.869-05:00Let me start by saying that you were beautiful at ...Let me start by saying that you were beautiful at your wedding and you beautiful now. This post is so inspiring and your mom is SO sweet!<br /><br />You mentioned that this took a toll on your business, and honest that is a big concern for me. I try and make my business work in my "spare time." Which usually means maybe 3 hours a day if I am lucky... Usually more like 1.5 hours. If I have to take away an hour to exercise a day, I basically have to say good-bye to my business. I don't really know how to resolve this conflict :(Anahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10479058119441179561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4810466599498707869.post-69523830032958126822012-01-03T16:34:14.013-05:002012-01-03T16:34:14.013-05:00Thanks Ann!
