[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds like a lot of these people are early risers and/or don't need 8 hours of sleep or have equipment at home.  For those of us who don't have the money or room for a home gym and have to get sleep (or we feel really awful), and work outside the home with a commute, we are screwed.[/quote]

I'm one of the early riser PPs. I also WOH and have a commute. I also used to have the perspective that only people with more time, more athletic backgrounds, more money, more space, more resources, etc. etc. etc. could be fit. I gave up one hour of sleep - 7 hours vs. 8 - and my early morning workouts energize me for my day. I don't flop into bed exhausted every night either. I started by telling myself I would try it for a week and if I was miserable I'd figure out something else. That was two years ago! The key for me is planning and organization - my schedule, home, and possessions are now streamlined and organized, and I take small chunks of time in the evenings and weekends to prepare for the week ahead and the next day. My DH and one of our kids have ADHD (inattentive with executive functioning challenges) so this benefits them as well. Early on in our parenting experience I really hit a wall where I felt like everything was a mess. I was always stewing and resentful and definitely felt screwed, so I understand where you're coming from. It's so cliche to say but no one is going to change it for you. [/quote]
