How do you do it?

MostlyHealthyMomma

I have a new puppy, who I already love so much, but my normal routine has gone completely out the window! I'm starting to eat better at least, but I'm really struggling to find time to exercise properly. I get PLENTY of walking/jogging time in, but it's not really helping me lose weight or inches. I only lose weight when I work my butt off and get a good sweat. I'm up with her every 90 minutes (potty training is such a joy) so I'm just plum tired and try to take naps when she does- I just simply have no energy. Any advice is welcomed, with puppies or babies, haha.

Use puppy as a weight during play time!

Oh man, puppy schedules are BRUTAL. I already cringe at thinking of what it will be like when I have a child.

The only thing to do is to fight through being a bit tired, you'll enjoy how you feel after working out. Look into shorter exercise videos (20 minutes - 30 minutes). Do those. Are you crate training puppy? If not I'd recommend it! It means you don't have to have your eyes on the little dear every second and also helps IMMENSELY with house training.

That's true, I never regret a work out My body will adjust so I need to suck it up for now. And you're exactly right, it's like training for when I have kids, haha. No- I'm choosing not to crate her for various reasons. She does have her own bed and blanket that she claims as her space though.

I know training a puppy is hard, but I agree with the person above me. Short workouts are awesome for situations like that. I have some biggest loser tapes and they have a variety of workouts from
10 min to 30 minutes and trust me you will sweat. Lol. Just remember this will pass and your schedule will be back to normal soon.

Maybe do different exercises at each potty break. When I walk the dog, every time she takes a long time at one spot, I do a min of 25 calf raises.
