Open to suggestions, advice, HELP!
I am trying to follow doctor's orders: a healthier diet, etc. The results from my blood work were pretty scary. I know that I have to make a permanent change as well as lose about 90 pounds and keep it off for life. Changing my eating habits to healthier foods, while expensive, has been easy for the most part. However, I cannot seem to find the motivation to exercise during the week. I have a very stressful job as a paralegal. I listen to my clients' concerns, fears, rantings, and problems and it is my nature to try to solve everything or give them the answer they want to hear even though I know I sometimes can't! So, when I get home from work I am exhausted mentally and I don't want to do anything, including cooking a healthy meal. I just want to zone out in front of the TV with a box of "reduced fat" wheat thins or bag of grapes, or both!
I know that working out relieves stress, but I just can't find it in me to get to the working out part during the weeknights. Weekends are easier, as I don't have to deal with clients and I can get out and do yard work.
Does anyone have any suggestions for how I can overcome the stress and exhaustion of the day and find the energy to workout?
