how do i find time to exercise

I can see that you work as your husband does... is he not able to help out with picking the kids up from school or the morning routine to give you an hour excercise time?

he does help, it takes a little more time with 2 year old twins, we both have to get up early and get ready for the day, and 3 out of 5 days he gets home after 10... he does pick them up half the time, but those are days when i leave work late. those days i'm lucky to get to bed at 12. he also works weekends, so i would love to go to a gym on the weekends but can't leave the kids with too many people. my option now is to take them to the park in a stroller but they get very bored of that being that they are very active and if i let them lose one will run one way the other in the opposite direction. once in a while i do ask my sister in law to watch them when i myself work saturdays, but she also has a business to run and she goes to school full-time. so for the most part its me and my husband and our schedules arent the greatest.

I definately know what you mean. Sometimes it's so hard to find the energy to work out, especially after you've put in a difficult day. Try incorporating simple exercises during TV commercials while you unwind or commit yourself to 10 minutes of exercise... you might be surprised how far you push yourself. When I have a tiring day, I try to do a little Wii Fit (although I have to admit, I've been off track this week in that department.) The main thing is not to give up! Little changes add up and, remember that tomorrow is a new day.:-)

Sounds like your schedule is pretty busy and hopefully some of the suggestions here will give you ideas on how to fit exercise in. Weekends or your days off sound like a good time to fit some in. Sounds like you work in a hosptial, if you can't leave the building during lunch, can you leave your office? If so, get a pedometer and try to walk around the hosptial. My friends and I who were on Weight Watchers used to do "potty squats" whenever we went to the bathroom we would do a certain number of squats and I'd do push ups against the wall. You'd be surprised where you can fit little things in. Good luck!
