    Successes / struggles this week: I had a nasty sinus infection this week. The antibiotic I'm on makes me slightly nauseous, so I've been grazing a bit more than I'd like this week. We also had a surprise party for a friend today and I definitely drank more calories than I ate. This week I'll be going back to a regular exercise regiment as well.

    Congrats on the losses, and sorry you're feeling icky, stelly76. Keep up the fluids and exercise when you can. You may have to start up a little slower, or not go as long. Soon you'll be good as new!

    I find exercise for exercise sake so hard when I'm tired. I would suggest parking your car further away from work. You are likely to be game for this at the beginning of your shift and at the end you have to gets some exercise done in order to get home!

    Other things that work for me - preparing for a course of exercise classes. I go so I don't waste my money! Plus finding a class/gym I can do on my way home. If I get home that's it....I crash on the couch and don't leave.

    Good luck!

    Successes / struggles this week: I actually REACHED my goal earlier in the week, but then gained over the weekend again. No more Monday weigh-ins, ever!

    That is rough. I know there are days when I have no energy after just an 8 hour shift (plus 2 hours of commuting). All I can offer is to find a workout buddy who can help motivate you (and vice versa) to get out there, and exercising builds energy in the medium-to-long run. The more you do, the less effort it will take to get out there and do something. For me, I've got a Planet Fitness black card membership, so I can bring 1 guest an unlimited number of times, and my wife has no membership. So I committed to her that anytime she wants to go, I will go with her, and I do whether I feel like it or not. That has helped me a lot, but not enough because she has similar energy/motivation issues. I still haven't turned the gym into a habit, but I'm working on it.
