Carol. I can just tell you what helped me. First I applaud you for looking for support. That's the number 1 key to staying motivated is recognizing that we can't do it alone. I'm a personal trainer/group fitness…

Great tips already. I agree with Carol. Really concentrate on that great feeling you have after a workout and you will want to do it again. A little trick that always works for me when I am feeling lazy is to just put on my workout clothes.…

Carol, Alysa gave you a great start. The hard part is taking the time to do it. Sometimes I just don't feel like it, but I MAKE myselft do a workout anyway, and in the end, I am SO much happier that I did. Once you get that feeling day after…

Wow, Alysa, thanks for posting this for me; that was very nice of you! I will definitely try this out sometime this weekend (I'm still procrastinating, in case you can't tell) and see how they work for me. Thanks again!

hi carol, it sounds like you definitely have your hands full. As far as exercise goes, start small. Can you take some extra long walks? Do you have any stairs in your house? Even going up and down the stairs for 5-10 minutes can give you a great…

Day One: A Walk to the Park

I completely wimped out yesterday on walking like I had planned, but I did manage to get off my butt today and walk with the kids to the park. It was about a 20- to 30-minute walk, and most of it consisted of me trying to keep up with my kids while they rode their bikes. It made me a little nervous to have them riding in the street, but the streets we were on were smaller side roads, so it wasn’t too bad. But I was dying! I was worn out, wasn’t sure I’d make it, and I kept telling my kids to…See More

About Me: Tell us about yourself and your family.
I am a mother of a 7-year-old and a 5-year-old and my husband and I are going through a stressful time right now (unemployment, student loans in default, living with my parents in a new area, lost touch with all my friends, etc.) and as a result of the stress, I am starting to gain weight. I have always had trouble with motivation when it comes to working out, so I am hoping that maybe having some online support will help motivate me to get moving.

A lazy mama's attempt to start working out

So I have spent many hours daydreaming and planning and writing about how I need to work out and wouldn't it be great for me to do yoga every day and start jogging along the beach and lifting weights in the garage and to start losing weight and gaining muscle and actually feeling 28 years old instead of feeling much older. I want more energy, I want to be healthier, I want my asthma to go away, and I want to feel better. Right now I have muscle aches and I'm not flexible at all (I can't even…
