    before you bike in the morning pick 1 or 2 exercises so you are not overwhelmed. one day 3 sets of squats, another day pushups, bicep tricep and shoulders, that way you're only spending 10 more minutes but getting some extra in.( if you feel you can, increase to 15 minutes of weight bearing per day). keep at it. and maybe try to eat a little better 4 out of 7 days of the week. goodluck. if all the other commenters were perfect, they wouldn't be on this site :)

    When you want something to happen - TRULY want it - you find a way to make it happen. So far this entire thread you've done nothing but be defensive, make excuses or simply ignore every time someone offers you valuable advice.

    It's hard to make the right decisions but most of us have been in your shoes so no one is fooled into believing that your life is any more difficult than another person that has to work a full time job, fit chores and other responsibilities into their life and STILL find a way to work out regularly and eat well.

    Make it happen or don't, but we'll all be here to support you when you buckle down and get it done.

    ummm hmmm, not a very healthy diet, water, probably not enough calories, and I'm guessing you're not getting enough sleep (7-8 hours) either.

    If you put crappy gas in a Rolls Royce, don't expect it to run right~

    I don't log all my water, I eat plenty of calories, and who the **** are you to tell me I'm not sleeping enough? Jesus, either answer the question or don't, no need to make generalizations about me.

    I thought your question was about your fatigue? no? you have fatigue cuz you eat like crap and have a shot of booze most nights. that would fatigue anyone

    Nah, **** it. I'm going to continue to eat like this and see where it goes, then post about the progress.

    What was the point of this? To ask advice and then when you don't like the perfectly good advice many people have given you, you say *kitten* it? This is why some people have just given up trying to help people on the forums.

    Sounds like I a struck a nerve, based on your crude response.
    If you don't want honest answers, don't ask the question in a forum~

    Sometimes I think it's easier to work out AS SOON as you get home. Once you get home and sit down it's hard to get off the couch! Or try pre logging exercise?

    Also re groceries can you get them delivered? I'm not sure if you've been on here long but I think the longer you stay on here the more your diet evolves with healthier food. Keep at it.

    Hey there

    I heard once that if you're waiting for motivation to kick in, that you'll be waiting a long time as it does not exist... Not many people want to force themselves up in the morning and go for a run or go to the gym - especially when they're tired etc. but they do. Exercise shouldn't be a chore - it's just like brushing your teeth each day, or having a shower... it's just something that you HAVE (should) to do each and everyday in order to stay healthy.

    In saying that, there are definitely some exercises that are better preferred to each individual. Try and exercise in a way that's more enjoyable to you, conversely, there will be exercises that you have to do in order to reach the goals you've set.

    If you are finding it's more tiredness - try having once or twice a week a pre-workout subtance. I have RAZOR 8 and it does the trick on those odd sod days.

    It sounds like you need a new job to me. You have to bike there and back, you are drinking frequently with co-workers and it's in an ice cream store (my GOD, I feel myself gaining weight just thinking about it.) You have a lot of suggestions here but I think the root of your problem is your employment not your diet or exercise plan. I would start to work on finding a job that isn't so exhausting. Or at least doesn't have co-workers wanting to drink and ice cream constantly at your fingertips. (You would think one of those co-workers would be kind enough to give you a lift a few days a week.)

    Hmm I remember reading somewhere that there's definitely a give and take with exercise. Since you're working out already as a part of your daily living-life routine, it's understandable that you'd feel less like working out beyond that. To be honest, I think that's actually a really healthy way of approaching exercise. If my lifestyle were less sedentary I wouldn't be compelled to spend as much time in the gym or working out at home because I'd already be getting my exercise from everywhere else. You might not see results as quickly as we all would like, but I think this kind of exercise is more sustainable in the long-term. So you shouldn't be too concerned about not putting in extra time to work out!

    I am impressed you bike so much. I love riding my bike rather than moving my car...but thats only about 8 miles...
    I use a front basket...buy groceries that fit in it and simply make more trips more often...FYI I am a mom with 2 kids still at home so I buy more food than you ould probably need and it works great. I get up at 5:30 and work out. Start my day working out and that seems to always help with motivation and general well being. I feel so much better when I work out first thing. Kind of kick starts my day so to speak. I also drink lots of water usually, love wheat grass and have learned to not beat myself up when I can't or won't work out. Enjoy life...don't take offense to others trying to help you, but take everything with a grain of salt. I have also learned ... remember I am 41 years old...LOL...that for me the amount of hours I sleep was not as important as the consistancy. Example: going to bed by 11 pm every night and getting up at 5:30 everyday. The more consistant I am with my time for sleep, often the better I feel. My body learned to work with what I gave it as long as I was consistant. Does that make any kind of sense? Best of luck...just keep your eye on your goal and remember everything starts and stops with ONLY you!
