| Fitness | Working out twice | Sep 21 2009 15:52 (UTC) |
7 |
I workout twice a day and it really works for me. I do my strength training at 5am, then go to work, then go back to the gym around 5pm for cardio. I have gotten great results since I started doing this about 2 months ago. As long as you don't overdue it, I say go for it. Good luck! |

I currently have 2 jobs. I work M-F as a high school teacher and Th & F evenings plus 9-5 on Saturdays at an Alzheimer's facility. And since I'm a teacher, I often have to continue working once I get home (grading papers, lesson plans, etc). It can be difficult at times, but the extra money is so worth it. The best advice has already been said---having one day off a week (you'll get burned out quickly if you don't, especially working 70 hours a week) and stay on top of the house cleaning. Good luck! |

You really have to consider one's height. I am currently 175 and wear a size 8 but when I'm at around 155, I fit into a size 4 very comfortabley but I am also 5'10". And I get sooo mad at how high my weight is when I can fit into small sizes. Makes no sense to me. |

Hi there! I know where you are coming from, as I also work in a school and am constantly dealing with unexpected treats. What works for me is always having healthy snacks on hand. Also, I don't know if this will work for you, but whenever there is something I REALLY want (like pizza), I'll stand back while everyone is getting a piece and I just think about all the germs that are accumulating around the food (from people's hands, breathing, etc) and just thinking about that is enough to make me not want it. But maybe that's just me. Good luck! |

I am rapidly losing my booty, which is very upsetting to me. I also want to say that marinehead is so right about proportion and how you don't want to look like a cartoon character! I actually have implants and got them when I was at my heaviest so they are an E cup and the more weight I lose, the more cartoon-ish I look. Sigh! |
