First, Congrats on making the decision to get back on the wagon. Pretty much it is what it is... as everyone else said, you have to make time. I find the mornings work best because I am not in the throws of the day.... I also try to do something at lunch and if possible, go for a walk after work. You could get a step platform and do that while watching your favorite show and do some push-ups, sit-ups, or yoga poses during commercial breaks. It may not be practical this time of year but perhaps you could ride your bike or walk to work a couple days per week.
You mentioned a lack of energy, and of course, regular exercise will increase your energy. I also recommend Royal Jelly Bee Pollen. I use YS Organic. I take it in the morning. Its an aquired taste but it helps me get moving when I would rather sleep in. You may also want to look at your diet. If you are eating on the run -- are you making wise choices? Do you eat a lot of refined carbs?0 -
You just have to make time for it. If you get up earlier in the morning and do a good cardio workout, even just 30 minutes, you'll be getting the exercise you need and you'll also have tons more energy.
I'm a stay at home mom and until my husband starts school in January he's home too. So it's pretty easy for me to take off to the gym for an hour after I've put my baby down for a nap. I have no idea what his school schedule will be, I think I may have to get up super early to work out before he leaves since my gym doesn't offer child care.0 -

My schedule is similar to yours. I found myself at the same crossroad you are at now after we had a baby and the only way for me to fit in a workout was to get my butt up earlier. So now I am up at 0430 every morning and I found that i am no more tired than before. I tried going at the end of the day, but I would be yawning and drowsy in the gym. Hope this helps!0
