[QUOTE="Lil, post: 745633, member: 17309"] I think I was confusing. My "commute" is literally 10 minutes. That's how I can get up at 7 a.m. and still be at work by 8 (-ish. I'm usually late but no one cares here). I generally work late (which is why no one cares if I'm late in the morning) - leaving around 5:30 or after. Packing up my stuff and walking to the car and such...I'm usually home by 5:45. BUT - IF I were to go work out after work - I'd have to add more than an hour taken up with driving wherever and changing and working out and then going home - putting me home after 7 p.m. Without working out I'm generally home by 6. That puts me out of the house 10 hours a day. That gives me 4 hours in the evening to cook, clean, eat, etc. and relax a bit before getting ready for bed. 4 hours sounds like a lot of time...until you take a chunk out of it for workouts. And of course, we have the little dog who we have to be there to take care of, so one of us has to be home after work...we can't leave him locked up for 11 hours! Jabber gets off an hour before me, but he also has a 20 minute drive and sometimes has stops to make. There are times I get home before him. We have choir Wednesdays and that's already one day we rush home, feed the dog and cat, try to feed ourselves, and run back out again for an hour and then home again. I can't imagine living every day on that schedule. It's too busy and rushed. Oh, and taking the dog for a long walk is out. Not only is he blind, but he now has a soft-tissue sarcoma on his front leg and is having a hard time just getting around the house. Walks are out of the question. And to be perfectly honest, I've got a thing about the dark...so no walking after dark for me. I find if we go out and do something before we eat, we end up grabbing fast food because it's easy and that's worse than cooking and not working out at all. I know we need to find something that works...but it's really not all that simple. [/QUOTE]
