I need help. I was doing so great. I lost a good amount of weight. Now I'm back up about 6-7 lbs, which isn't bad, but I have no motivation anymore...lack of time...I need some kind of plan or something. Idk.

I moved about a month ago and got a new job (which is a desk job, I sit on my butt all day and don't have time to leave my desk. I have a 30 min lunch break, which I always eat healthy, but I don't have enough time to eat and do some walking). My work day basically consists of 8am-8pm. I used to exercise at least 4-5 times a week before I moved and I felt great. Now I never exercise. I'm always exhausted by the time I get home, I eat dinner, do some stuff around the house, and then go right to sleep. I'm not a morning person, so I know I won't get up earlier than what I already do.

I've been parking as far away from everything as possible. I always take stairs, no elevators, but it's not enough.

Any ideas or motivation would be greatly appreciated

    Busy, busy busy you are!!! I used to work like that as well and I got fat but I had a boss that was in incredible shape. He did it through Saturday and Sunday extended workouts! He said every Saturday he would wake up and run/walk 5-7 miles. Then on Sunday, he would always take a walk with his wife, try to do some work in the yard that would require a ton of excercise, or he would take his daughter to the pool. I know there are weeks when the work week does NOT allow for any work out time, but perhaps even a 20 minute SUPER intense workout video when you get home would help? I know you are tired, but if you can push through it you will absolutely have more energy! Good Luck!

    Just do what you can the motivation will come back with time! Where there is a will there is a way! You will find a good time for you to workout and it will all be OK, by the way I really like your profile pic, I LOVE twilight!
