Yes, I get really stiff and uncomfortable if I have to sit still for too long.
Thank you. I am getting good results from all the Strength training and Ab work I have been doing, but ofcourse I still need to lose the weight. My insomia has been a huge obstacle in the way. I am tired off putting this off. I am just going to move forward and figure things out along the way. Progress, not perfection as they say.

I've done yoga detox fasts before. I found drinking lots of hot water, like if you are making yourself a cup of tea but not using any tea bags, helps to get you through it.
Not a mom, but perhaps I can offer a little advice. There are ways you can incorporate exercize into your day to day routine, even if you are on a very tight time schedule. Little things like taking the stairs instead of elevators, parkibg further away from your job and walk to work. Stand more, instead of sitting down. On your break perhaps you can do stair walking or running or go out for brisk walks. I read doing cardio as little as 15 minutes is beneficial to your heart health.
These are all really good ideas. Thank you. I should have elaborated on my job a little. I work on wind turbines. Due to the equipment and tooling I load and unload from my work truck daily, I cannot bike. Breaks- if I get them- are usually scarfing food up tower or in my truck on the way to the next tower. I do already "take the stairs"- a 400ft ladder. I really could get up before 430am just to do some squats though. I should have more time to do them after work. It would cut into my time walking my kitty, and I've definitely used that as an excuse for too long. Again, I really appreciate all of the ideas, and I hope others will be able to utilize them more.Not a mom, but perhaps I can offer a little advice.

Perhaps you can ride your bike to work instead of driving or taking public transportation. If you are able to watch TV, then could you use that time to do exercises (sit ups, squats, lunges,etc). Could you get up earlier in the morning and go for a run or just go on the threadmill or stationary bike for 15 minutes or so. Maybe you can look at some of those portable exercise items that you see on TV to keep you moving. My friend who is super busy brings a portable stepper with her and when she finds 10 or 15 mins, she closes the door to her office and does her exercise.
Just putting some ideas out there. I hope you find it helpful. Best of luck.
When restart your exercise program, you are better off starting slowly and gradually working your way back to your usual program. Less pain and potential for injuries that way.
Doubt I could get injured. I don't do anything strenuous. Just my walks and squatting exercises. I can't use weights, I always injure myself with those.
Good advice. I started slowly with the weights until I moved up on the pounds. Better to take it slow and be safe, than to be sorry.
Right. Til COVID hit I went to the same gym every other day for five years. Every January newcomers would show up and work out way too hard. You could almost spot the ones that would drop out in a few weeks because it was too hard and was making them too sore.
Those people probably wanted quick results and were really pushing it. They should know that weight loss, building muscle and improving one's physique doesn't come overnight. These people have unrealistic expectations. They also don't understand their limitations. I feel sorry for them.
