    I'm a teacher. I start school up in a month and I am getting nervous because during the school year I often lack the energy to go to the gym and keep up with my work outs. I need motivation to maintain work outs.

    Princess, I find if you press through the tiredness, the workout will actually give you more energy; many times what we perceive as fatigue comes from the stress from the day. The exercise will actually help alleviate the stress by giving us a physical release of it. Sometimes "resting" is actually the worst thing we can do if we are stressed.


    Agreed! I was not a morning person either. But I started walking in the mornings. When school started, I got up earlier so I could fit a walk in. I've only been back with students for 3 days, but those 3 days I have had more energy and I did not get tired until the end of day at home. I do not drink caffeine either.

    Hi! I am a teacher also. I teach 4th grade. When school got out in May this year, I restarted with MFP. I wanted to spend the summer jumps starting my new way of eating. When school started August 8th, I was down 32 pounds. I still have a long way to go.
    Anyone, feel free to add me. :)

    Wow! Great summer accomplishment! Keep up the good work this school year!

    I teach 8th grade English in Texas, and I started MFP three weeks ago. I also started going to the gym around 5:30 am hoping to get used to it before school starts back.

    My classroom is a five minute walk from the lounge, so I seldom go there. My worry is when I get home and I'm tired - all I want to do is sit down with a book and a snack.

    The lounge is pretty far for me too and I only get a 30 minute lunch. I ate with a group in another teacher's room last year and that worked well. My struggle is with the evenings. When I am exhausted I make porr choices. Good luck to you on your weight loss journey!

    I teach 3rd grade, and I definitely think it is hard to stick to a plan of eating healthy and exercising during the school year. I find myself always making excuses such as lesson planning or grading papers. I'm also finishing my master's this year as well, so life feels very busy all of the time. I hope that this year, I am able to manage the stress better and create a good habit of exercising and eating healthy each day. Does anyone have any good tips of how to make this successful?

    Teacher (ESL) for 13 years (Grades 6-12), and have my district administrators license, which allows me to be anywhere from an assistant principal/principal up to Superintendent of schools. Tired of the Department of Education in NY. Anyone know someone who needs a veteran teacher/administrator? I'm no stranger to dedication. I figure I'd just throw that out there, you never know...

    Unfortunately you wouldn't be much happier with education in Ohio. But, good luck to you on your weight loss journey!
