do you give time for yourself to keep your body in fit shape and stay healthy. i don't . when i am busy online doing the things that we do i almost or always forget to give special attention on the kind of foods that i have to eat and prepare. I just eat whatever i see on the fridge. and i just stay in front of the computer when i get home and don't do any more any kind of exercise. i just do hope that i will be able to find more motivation to give some special attention to my body's health.

This is my problem also. Since I work in an office I don't have many opportunities to exercise or move at all. Does anyone have any ideas how I can incorporate more movement into my day when I'm stuck at a desk most of the day? I'd love to hear any suggestions...

yes. i think that it is really hard to find time when we are busy. even though we can have some time but after getting back from work it will leave us tired and not motivated to make any exercise at all. so i guess only pure determination to make a at least short exercise before work will be possible. or just short exercise after getting back from work. or i think that going out to gym with some friends will be best. but not of us has someone to drag to the gym to be able to have some form of exercise at all.

when the weather begins to get a bit better - warmer - i think i'll start walking again every week. even a couple of times a week walking around the block makes you feel better. the thing is that not everyone can afford a gym membership anymore - it's too much money to just buy gas and groceries.

Yes, I should give importance to my health, especially now,i just gave birth 6 months ago. I have no definie time of eating and even sleeping because i am taking care of a baby. Its a 24-Hour/ 7 days job, no day-off.Anyway, its a must for me and for mothers like me. I make sure that those 3 meals a day, i don't skip. In between, i make some for my snacks,and i make sure i take my vitamins regularly.These are: vitamins C & E, Multivitamins & Iron, My meals should be a balance meal. At my age, 37, i am not getting any younger, so i avoid too much fats and sweets. I always make sure i have fruits on my table, to keep my body strong and healthy.Now, its not advisable for me to go to any gym.

yes. i see that you are really pretty busy. i think that giving your self some time to exercise is pretty impossible. not unless you will have someone you can leave your child while you are exercising. cause infant is still so dependent on our care that we can't even leave them for such a short time . i know how much hard work it is to care for babies. and the attention that they need that we have no time left for our selves.

I don't get enough exercise. At my job I sit down alot and when I am at home I spend a lot of time on the computer either doing online earnings, facebook, or my etsy shop. I always have good intentions of working out just not real motivated most days and I really should be as I am overweight. I have recently started to walk the dog alot more so that is good. As the weather warms up I know I will be more active outdoors. Maybe I will exercise today, good time to start!

hope that you will find time to do the things that you wanted like having a daily exercise. cause we all know that we need them. though it is quite enjoyable to do that but it is tiring to exercise when we are not used to so we tend to give up easily.
