How to Lose Weight When You're Busy

There is no such thing as "too busy." I work 80 hours a week, and still exercise, and lost 35 pounds.
You are not lacking in free time, you are lacking in motivation. When there's a will, there's a way.

I work 80 hours a week, so I exercise on my way too and from work by commuting via bicycle. I also do frequent "rounds" of the building to make sure everything is secure. I jog up the stairs, and sprint when I am circling the grounds. Be creative, you can find a way to improve your health. Some offices will allow you to use an exercise ball as a chair.

Benefits of Sitting on the Ball

Sitting on an exercise ball, your body is constantly making small adjustments with the postural muscles, abdominals, gluteals and leg muscles. It is "active sitting" rather than the slumping and poor posture we develop even in ergonomic desk chairs.

As far as "not having time to cook," I get that. I don't cook. My spouse does. But he has tailored his dishes to allow me to eat and he'll cook enough that I'll have leftovers as lunches for a few days. I also like to bring frozen meals to work with me. I like the steamers vegetable bags. I also really enjoy the full meals that healthy choice offers. Especially the one with chicken tenders and gravy in it. It's a "guilty pleasure" without the guilt! 

I also found these recipes on the Hungry Girl website. They're microwave recipes, so I can make my own food at work. I love it! Cup o' Chocolate-Coconut Bread Pudding  -I couldn't find the link for this one, but I have the recipe saved. E-mail me if you want it.
