So tired of my body :( need help!

First, honey, slow down and breathe. Life is full and hectic and almost always will be. It's okay...you can work around it.

Congrats on losing 5 pounds. You're on your way. 80% of weight loss happens in the kitchen, so if you have your nutrition nailed down, you're already ahead of the game.

Then, lets look at your day. Agreed, 10hr days don't leave much room for exercise (I work 12's, myself), but there is some time if you borrow it from somewhere else. Plan and prep meals on your days off, so that your time in the kitchen is minimal. Use paper plates and such when you can to cut down on clean-up.

The more organized you can be, the more time you can carve out for yourself. You said something about "all the other crap we have to do"...look at it critically, and see if it's really necessary or stuff can do when you have more leisure time. You'd be surprised how much time you waste, when you really look at it.

What type of workouts do you do? Can you break them up into smaller segments? A brisk, 15 minute walk between dinner and dishes, perhaps? Get up 15 minutes earlier and do some push-ups, jumping jacks, etc?

Then, there's the sneaky workouts, like walking partway to work, taking the stairs, walking during your lunch and breaks, etc. Use your imagination, and there are ton of things you could do, maybe even while you are working!

Good luck, and don't lose heart. Read some of the exceptional stories on here by people who overcome major obstacles to get fit and healthy...they can be quite inspirational.

What worked for me in the beginning were Jillian Michael's 20 minute workouts (30 Day Shred, Ripped in 30). They're painful, but incredibly efficient. And, as I said, 20 minutes long, so no excuses! Good luck, and don't be too heard on yourself...

Do you ever have 5 or 10 minutes of free time at work? Pick something heavy up at work and use it as a weight for a few minutes! Or split it up into more doable chunks... get up 15 min earlier and use that time to work out, do 15 min at lunch, 15 min when you get off work, or whatever. I know how hard it can be to find the time to work out and it seems like breaking it into smaller chunks makes it easier mentally to make it happen.

I'm sorry you are having a rough time hun! Here are a few suggestions to fit in GOOD exercise in a very short amount of time.

Option1: Tabata Training. One round takes 4 minutes. Pick some exercise that is fairly aerobic for you. Burpees and squat kicks are excellent options. Set a timer for 30 second intervals. Rest 10 seconds and go 20 seconds all out as hard as you can go. When the timer beeps, rest first 10 seconds and then go as hard as you can for the next 20. Do a total of 8 - 30 second rounds. If you are up for it, when you finish one round pick another exercise and do another.

Option 2: HIIT rounds. One round takes 10 minutes. Pick 4 exercises. (Push-ups, sit-ups, jumping-jack-squats, burpees is an awesome combo). Do exercise 1 all out for 1 minute getting as many reps as you can. Do the same with exercise 2, 3, and 4 with NO REST in between exercises. Do the same for each exercise again for 45 seconds. Do the same for each exercise for 30 seconds. Do the same for 15 seconds. NO REST BETWEEN EXERCISES OR INTERVALS. If you finish one 10 min round and are up for it, try another with 4 different exercises.

I hope this helps! Best of luck to you!
