[quote=Anonymous]I work fifty hours a week and have two kids under five. Single mom. Here's what I do:

Walk whenever possible. Use the stairs instead of the elevator. My building has a gym so I'll pop in, do fifteen minutes of body weight exercises and fifteen minutes on the elliptical. I have a cheesy Jane Fonda exercise video and each module is ten minutes - I'll pop it in after I've finished cleaning up for the night. A few minutes here and there adds up.

Re: diet. I eat a lot less and do NSNG as much as possible. Food is boring but filling (ie fuel). Scrambled eggs with spinach for breakfast. Salad with chicken breast for lunch. Pork chop and veggies for dinner. Lots of water. No added sugar. No alcohol.

Also keep in mind that it's okay not to adhere 100% to something. Even if you increase your activity by a little, you're making a difference. If you stop adding sugar to your coffee, it makes a difference. It's easy to want to make a total lifestyle change overnight but I find that to be a good recipe for disappointment, and failure.
