Suprise cruise and 30 lbs to loose! UGH!

So my hubby just surprised me with a cruise Oct 26th! I want to look my best for this but with running a daycare from 5am-5pm then running my own photography business in the evenings and workouts how the heck am I ever gonna work out and loose 30lbs for this trip! UGH! WISH ME LUCK! I'm going to walk everyday during nap time on the treadmill and try to throw little exercises in during the day!

    You don't HAVE to workout to lose weight. Eat under your calorie goal and you will lose weight.

    That is a pretty hefty goal in that amount of time and putting a pretty high expectation for yourself, as well as setting yourself up for disappointment. Eat at a deficit for weight loss and exercise for fitness. You probably are not going to reach that goal by that date, unless you do some type of drastic and unhealthy approach. Also, if you decide to do a drastic approach, whatever weight you lose will return as soon as you go back to a regular schedule.

    I know I won't meet my goal as that is a lot of weight! I don't see my pillow until at least midnight! But I'm going to dream and shoot for 30 lbs and see what happens. Hey if I loose 15 by then I will be sooo excited!

    1. Congratulations on your cruise? Been on two so far and that is by far my favortie way to vacation. So much to see and do, so much free stuff every time you stop on shore. You didnt say where you were going but im sure you'll enjoy yourself.

    2. Start lifting some weights and watch your calories. You'll feel better about yourself while you lose some weight. So even if you dont reach 30lbs you'll still feel awsome.

    3. Its lose not loose, altho if you loose the weight, maybe it will just fall off? lol
