Working out at Lunch Time

Yesterday the News Director at my work asked me to be her lunch time work out buddy. We have a no frills gym by us that charges like 15 bucks a month with no contract. Her reasons for wanting to work out at her lunch hour 5 days a week is to get rid of her baby weight. Her baby, by the way, is just TOO adorable, Hi Sam!

At first glance, I guess it seems like a no-brainer, right?. A few bucks a month, a partner and the gym in close proximity. However I've just recently accepted an offer from a new publishing company to become their editor. And since I have a full time job, a family, along with my blogging and article writing, my schedule is pretty packed. My lunch hour and coming in about 30 minutes early is how I can balance all of these things without cutting too much into my family time.

But I do need to lose weight, so what is a girl to do? Quite a conundrum, sigh. I guess it will just take more determination. I'll have to mull it over though, because I believe in being honest with yourself, about yourself. I am NOT a morning person, so waking up at 5:30am will not work for me. Instead of "getting used to it" I will resent it and start hitting snooze instead of lacing up my Kix.

I am a night owl, I am more alert and more creative at night. The nights, after the kids are in bed, are what I am planning to use for my new editing position. But if ever there were a time to exercise for me, it would be at night.

And yes, I have read all of the information that states morning are the way to go. And for anyone who is a morning person, I agree. It lets you get your workout in at the start of the day, which gives you not only a sense of accomplishment but is also great since, hey, it's out of the way, it's already done. But it's just not me.

I'll let you know what I come up with since I am still miserable and still over 200 pounds :( And the kicker? My cousin's wedding is in like 6 weeks, GREAT!
