I've been wanting to lose weight for a long time now, ideally 2 stone, but to get 1 stone off would be fabulous right now. However, I don't seem to have any time at the moment. My life seems to be so jampacked that I don't have time to think about losing weight. I am a full time student, and live on my own with my DD. DD goes to bed at 7 every night. I seem to spend my evenings studying.
Our days go like this:
Mon and Thurs: Get DD to school, spend most of day either shopping, cleaning flat, studying, DD has lessons after school. Get home about 5:30. Do a quick dinner before DD goes bed. I study, maybe wash up til bed.
Tues, Weds and Fri: Get DD to school, college til 5pm, pick DD up from afterschool club at 5:30, get home 5:45, dinner, DD in bed at 7, me studying til bed.
Weekends: Try to spend as much time as we can together.
Unfortunately at the moment, any time I have available is spent studying because I have loads of projects due. I had one due in yesterday, got one next week, and then 3 in January.
I keep wanting to go to gym on my days off, and I even book classes, but then usually have to cancel them because I have to go into college to study or to do some shots (I'm doing photography).
I tried the kick start on WW, which went okay for like 5 days til I just didn't have time to keep to it. I want to also be able to cook proper meals, or at least prepare on days off or something, so we can eat properly and not be eating microwave meals or junk. I don't have time for breakfast either, so essentially I am eating lunch, dinner, and then snacking in between.
I got a Wii Fit, hoping that will be an incentive, but again I don't feel I have time, or the energy to do it, by the time 8 or 9pm come after I've settled down.
So any help, tips, advice or pointers would be great. Or some kind of miracle to make my lifestyle seem easier would be even better! Lol.
