After I drop the kids off at school I have about 2.5 hrs before I have to be at work so since the weather has been so nice and cool I have been walking. I find I drink some more water but then on my way to work i have this craving for an energy drink and i usually stop off and get one. Maybe that is my security blanket.
I pull 4 10 hr days and work from 11 am - 9:30 pm which I find I am liking.
When it starts getting cold we have a Club Fitness here that charges $20 a month with no sign up and I can go indoors. I just wish I had someone to walk with or meet at the gym or just give me that extra boost.  
I am sure once I get to the gym I will meet people who have the same goals.
Oh, I also have a tread mill downstairs, a heavy bag and speed bad and weight machine. I go thru spurts with that too. |
Be careful on those energy drinks as most are loaded with sugar. I like the Sobe Lean drinks with 0 carbs.
What I wouldn't give for a heavy and speed bag.
Really what'll help you achieve your goals is to find the right balance of healthy eating and exercise to create a big enough calorie deficit that will let you lose weight at a pace that you choose. If you can ball park how much exercise you'll get in a given week, then you can easily figure out (with our help) how many calories you should eat each day to lose however many pounds a week you choose.
