Quote From: rebel_cake Hi everyone! I was just wondering if anyone has any tips for some quick exercises. I am a new mommy of a 6 month old and I have a 3 year old as well. I am also in Medical school at nights and I always seem to be the go all day everyday. I've decided to get up an hour earlier every moring to have some "me" time and fit in a workout routine. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have purchased some free weights (2 pounds to start) and a Tae Bo DVD. Since I am in the same boat as a lot of people with the struggling economy the way it is, it is very hard for me to afford "Healthy" foods. But I figure I can cut back my portions and start eating off my toddler's size plates and adding snacks in between (an average of balanced calories) every 3 hours. I've read that it helpes to eat every three hours to boost your metabolisim......is this true? Well, any input would be very helpful!

Hello Jamie,
I am very surprised that you say you can't afford healthy foods. I live in the Netherlands, and I don't know whether it's different in the US, but since I started to eat healthy foods, i cut back about a third on my grocery shopping. Maybe vegetables etc. is a bit more expensive, but you can severely cut down on cookies and other garbage you don't need. Money is no excuse to start eating healthy. I know, because my income is VERY low.
I don't think your idea of using your toddler's plates will work. If you get hungry, you will grab unhealthy stuff again. I'm sure the key is to eat healthy. I strongly believe that this is possible, even on a very low income (mine is around 900 US$ a month).
Sincerely,
Jo
