How are the newlyweds staying in shape?

Sooo... holiday feeding frenzy around the corner, no more pretty white dresses to fit into...what is everyone doing to try and stay healthy and not gain post-wedding weight?

I'd be going to the gym but I caught a cold and feel like cr@p this week. Between all the good HM food and Thanksgiving goodies, it's not lookin' too good over here...

Re: How are the newlyweds staying in shape?

this newlywed is not! sometimes I feel like I have just enough time to sleep! I work alot and then cooking, cleaning & laundry at home, this sounds so cliche, but I feel like my workday never ends!! exercise is just not happening right now, I'll try to focus more after the holidays. I have asked DH to go for walks at the park w/ me though....he's not into walking, so we'll see how far that goes!

I have a gym membership, however, after work I just want to get home, so I usually do a Billy Blanks Tae Bo DVD or The Firm DVD...This way it is an hour and I am already home....

Re: How are the newlyweds staying in shape?

We're hoping to start getting into shape next week; first we have to get through Thanksgiving :)

We have to quit smoking, start eating better and exercising. It's going to be really hard :(

Re: How are the newlyweds staying in shape?

I worked out a couple of days on my HM but since I've been back I can't fit it in. I'm a am gym girl and between the Hawaii time difference, the cold, and the rain, I can't get out of bed. Hopefully I'll snap out of it soon. I'm definitely not as thin as I was on my wedding day.

that's how i feel too! i've still been going, probably 3-4 times a week, but for only short amounts of time because i just don't have time!! and i have an audition on dec 11th, so i've been practicing my butt off! unfortunately, i have to decide between getting my fingers in shape or my body it's frustrating!

Re: How are the newlyweds staying in shape?

I make time 3 days a week to get my a$$ to the gym. I enjoy working out and it is something that I do for myself so my husband who does absolutely nothing at home will just have to wait till I get home to eat dinner and I cook clean afterwards.
