totally nmr... exercise ?

lajolla09.30.06

this is for all of you ladies out there who have experience with weight loss and exercise.  Back in my college days when I wanted to step it up and lose weight quickly I would just add in one more thing/day for exercise because that was easier for me than being careful about eating

so since I always rowed anyways in the morning with my team I'd just add in another trip to the gym that day or an exercise video.

I was planning on doing the same thing now, I already was doing the 30 day shred every day and I was just going to keep doing that along with the rowing.  Well I don't know if it's the early rising (we start at 5 am) or the energy required to take care of the twins but I've been way too tired to do both the last 2 days.  I can't decide if I am just doing the rowing if that will be enough to lose weight or if I should just suck it up and do the video too... it's only 20 minutes right?  Hmn... I'm torn.  I don't want to ruin my streak (I was doing that every day for like a month) but then again I don't know if I've already gotten enough exercise.

Sorry this is completely random and rambling... I'm trying to decide right now if I should get off my butt and go exercise while they're napping

Ok, you will be my new hero for life if you row AND do the shred in the same day!  I totally get what you mean. tho . . . right before I got pregnant I was working out with a trainer 3 days a week and going to the gym at least 5 days a week -- so some days I would work out on my own in the am before work and then in the evening with the trainer (and no, I still wasn't really skinny.  But at least I was fit).  I saw REALLY great results.  But I  know there is no way I'd have the energy for it now (and I don't take care of my kids all day -- I work FT -- being a SAHM is a million times more exhausting!).  I've been trying to mix up my type of workouts, but just doing one a day (i.e. one morning I might lift, the next do the shred, the next take a long walk, etc.).   I say if you have the energy go for it, but don't feel like you have to push yourself!  Running around taking care of 2 babies is a great work-out, too!
