I don't know why I cut exercise out of my life before; but I am certainly glad that I am back into it! Thank you all!

Way to go Stacey!!! Keep Up the Great Work!!

Thank you Stacey and to the rest of the team that motivated me! I apologize for being MIA last night, but I had my laptop in my lap, pages pulled up...closed my eyes for just a minute...and I was down for the count! I dozed smooth off. My body said it's time to sleep and sleep I did for ALMOST 12 full hours! I know I needed it...those muscles can't repair themselves if I don't get enough sleep. I've just got to find a happy medium with my workouts and my sleep schedule. The additional workout at night is good, but it takes me a little bit to wind down...any suggestions team??

Could you move your workout up a bit so its not right at bedtime? Or maybe trim it down to a couple of nights during the week ? I know what you mean, I can't exercise before bed I am too wired afterwards. I know you will get it figured out. Just be careful and not push yourself too hard. Its too easy to do!! Your body needs plenty of rest especially with all the hard work you have done this week alone!!

Well part of the problem is that I don't get off these days until 6...by the time I get to Tammy's and get a snack in me before I do my workout, then it's already 7:00 or 7:30 or so. I HAVE to get things situated...maybe go into work earlier or something.

Hi Tracy. I know what you mean about exercising before bed. When I lost a lot of weight a couple of years back I was working on afternoon shift and didn't finish work until midnight. I would make sure I had a snack with me to either have at work an hour or so before I finished or eat it on the 30 minute drive home. A muesli bar or a piece of fruit is enough. Then I could do my workout as soon as I got home and have a nice long bath to unwind, ready for bed.
