I really hate exercising, so it's tough for me to do it too. I get an hour lunch break each day so I've been trying to eat lunch and then walk for 10-20 minutes each day. I know it's not a lot but I feel like it's at least SOMETHING that I can do. And the other night while watching The Biggest Loser I walked in place during the commercials instead of fast forwarding through them. I hope you find something that works for you! 

Okay girl... I see your troubles and understand them whole heartedly!! lol Serious. It's about scheduling it all in. If you prioritize your exercise and not just pencil it in.... use a marker and ink it in, so that it's unchangeable. Start out easy, maybe 15 minutes a night to start. Work up to 20 after a week, then 25 and 30. If you can do that much and be up to 30 in a months time, you'll be watching the weight MELT off you! =D It's just like eating well.... it has to be planned. You have to make a set schedule of what you'll eat, when you'll eat it and prepare it. Planning is just the KEY to making it work, once you can sit down, make yourself that important to give that uninterrupted time to, and LOVE yourself for your family, to have you around for a long time. :) xoxo YOU can DO IT!! Lets ROCK it UP and do some major rockin' out on this CRUISE!!! We're all here,... doin' it together! 

I also hate trying to set aside a special time for exercise. I do get on a treadmil in front of a tv set but what I have found that works best for me (and also my daughter ImLuuvd) is just to exercise in bits and pieces and in front of the tv set at night. Just get on the floor while watching tv and do some sit-ups during commercials or leg lifts, push-ups, get a wobble board, do some yoga poses, and squats or lunges. I also found that I get more exercise in if I fit it in in bits and pieces during the day... If I go into the kitchen I do 10 sink push up.. each trip to the kitchen that add's up real fast. Each time I go to sit in my chair to watch tv I do squats.. just like I was about to hit the chair cushion and got back up again..ten times. Find ways to fit it in and it will seem more fun...specially during the time you would usually sit in a chair and watch tv...instead hit the floor and move around.. even do side steps back and forth. Good luck, Iknow you will find something that works for you 

Just tell yourself that it is sooooo important. Absolutely necessary. Then get up 15 minutes earlier in the morning and get it done. You can do it! Just try!
