When Im home I try to work out when my kids are at school, most days its not a problem. My wife does get upset when I get home in the evening and want to workout that day. Its really the only time she gives me grief about it.0

Q) What exercise routines work the best for you to make sure you get in your workout and still enjoy family time?
A) I normally exercise during my lunch and/or breaks. That will allow me to come home and spend quality time with my family. On the weekends, my family and I spend a lot of time at the park. At times, we'll bring our two chocolate labs to join us for a nice walk. On rainy/cold days, I Zumba

I tend to workout once the kids are in bed or after school drop off when my daughter can go in care. I prefere 9am ish in the morning if it fits in. I hate to get up early to exercise.0

We have an elliptical and a bunch of dvds, that I do love, but our house is just awful. We are moving in two weeks so I'm hoping to have an area set up just for all this. I don't mind the kids around, but hate secluding myself to work out at this time. If I can workout while they play along side I'll be more likely to do it...I think.
Matt - I really want to start running. I was planning to buy a treadmill because I have issues with running outside. However, our new house is close to some trails, and its in a neighborhood. My plan is to attempt to start running when the snow is gone.0 -
~* ~* ~* FRIDAY Question! *~ *~ *~
I just love anything that starts with the word Friday
... Anyway how about something not food or fitness related!
Q) Any fun or big plans for the weekend??
A) My goal is to start doing some damage on getting the new room ready (previously an extra 'play' room) for our son to move into so we can get the baby's room opened up (his current room). I think my goal will simply be to move furniture out and get the carpet ripped up ... doesn't sound too fun perhaps but I'm excited to start the room switch process!0 -

My favorite 5k races that I did this summer/fall were the cross country / trail runs ... so fun and beautiful!0 -

Q) Any fun or big plans for the weekend??
A) My husband comes from an amazing and large family (7 siblings total). There's always a birthday party every weekend :happy: . Looks like we'll have some sun this Sunday (I live in California). So typically after church and a quick wardrobe change, we head out to the park with our labs for a nice walk/or hike...but in this case, I think it'll be a walk. The roads will be too muddy for a hike. Then after our walk, we'll have a nice afternoon lunch at the park. Our local park has some breathtaking panoramic views. My hubby and I love this little tradition we just started on Sundays...and the kids seem to love it too.

Hi there! I am 30 years old and happily married with 5 wonderful children. I have 2 beautiful children of my own (ages 5 and 7) and then I have 3 amazing step-children (ages 8,11, and 13).
I am absolutely in love with my family and I would like to try to get in shape for myself and to be a better example for my children. I would love to meet new people who share the same goals as I do. Hopefully I will get the oppurtunity to get to know some of you better and good luck to everyone on your journey! 0 -

Plans for the weekend....
My weekends don't start until Saturday at noon....I work half a day every Saturday, totally ruins the weekend! Then hopefully we will be making a trip to Lowe's for building supplies. We are remodeling and the next project is my new bathroom!! Can't wait to get started!0 -
Ha, our 1st floor bathroom (the one the guests use!) is still stuck in the 60's ... One day ... one day ... 0

My wife was in the hospital having our son the same weekend I was moving ... so going back and forth from the hospital to moving trucks was an exhausting and crazy weekend (granted Marceen had the much harder job!) ... Poor planning on my part ... I was counting on a due date to be exact! lol ... so she left our apartment for the hospital, and then left the hospital for our new/old home! ... so glad we bought at the time (2002), it was an investment right? ... ouch! 0 -

This weekend....
Sleeping in!!!
I've been working 12 straight days and have had late night music stuff on 9 of those nights. I cannot wait to stay in bed past 7am.
Other than that this weekend is once again about music. Playing in the orchestra pit tonight and tomorrow night for the musical Company. Sunday is rehearsal for a huge gig next Friday night with my afro cuban salsa band.
Oh, and I might actually find some time to get some good workouts in finally!0 -
Weekend plans have been canceled. My daughter Lucy turns 4 on Sunday and we were going to have friends over to celebrate. But, due to this lovely virus that is spreading through my children we will be canceling. I am hoping to get into the gym at least once this weekend because I'm not going there with sick children.
Birthday-Sept. 8 will be turning 40!

We are took the kids to the pool on friday afternoon, then dinner at a friends and my dughter had a sleepover.
On saturday morning I did my first boxing class which was excellent, We have just had friends over for dinner and tomorrow my parents are coming to visit from Sydney. We are planning on taking them for a picnic.
should be a great weekend.
Hope everyone else has a good weekend and Holly's kids get better.0 -
grinseeker & aimlow-Thanks for the well wishes! An entire week of one sick child is bad enough, let alone another getting it. Really throws things off track darn it! If we're really lucky this will be the only sick spell this winter.
On the upside I was at least able to go get groceries last night since Lucy wasn't needing me and could stay home with Bridget. Thank goodness! We were out of about everything let alone anything healthy. I also found Lucy's birthday gift a used Barbie Jeep that we will be looking at today, it's less then half the retail price and has 2 seats which is perfect for the little girls. I also need to pick up her birthday cake this afternoon. She's actually eating again so at least she can enjoy some of it.
Have a great weekend everyone.

Hi!!!!! Let's see....weekend plans.
Looks like we're gonna spend some time walking around and hanging out with some friends at the tattoo convention downtown this afternoon and then hit up one of the restaurants for dinner and probably a casino as well.
Then this morning and all day tomorrow I have LOTS of cardmaking to do! I have to finish up my last set of images for my design team, make 4 cards for the WIS release, and make cards for the VSN event at SCS. That's low on the priority list, but one of my design team members is co-coordinator for the event, so I want to at least make a few cards (especially for her challenge) to support her. And it's a good way to get my images out there for more people to see.
And I want to spend some more quality time with my new NookColor!!!! I'm loving it so far! It's amazing to be able to get magazines on it, so I don't end up with stacks of them laying around my house.0 -
No real weekend plans, other than maybe having a few hours of overlapping time when my husband and I are home and awake at the same time.
Night shift sucks. :mad:0 -
LorinaLyn, i feel your pain. I have been on the night shift this week and don't think i've seen my husband for more than 10 min at a time...My schedule is random and it's so tough to carve out time at home together.0

Weekend is almost over, but been productive! Parents were in town from NC so had houseguests all weekend. Ran a 5k Saturday, friends over after, live music that night. Today we have been looking at houses since we are receiving an offer now! Supposed to be out in 30-45 days if all goes well. Today is the 11th day the house has been on the market. Pretty frickin' awesome. Hopefully everything will work out! Next is dinner at the in-laws. Hope you all had a great weekend!0

@Cortez - Sounds like an awesome Sunday routine to me!
... With even more snow this weekend, sun sounds good to me!
@Shannon (Shamrock) - Moving around the kids rooms is enough for me! I think I have moving in my future (but not for 4-6 years) and I'm already not looking forward to the moving process! lol
@Stefani - Any progress on the bathroom??
@Meggie - Karaoke eh?! Yeah, my wife dragged me to those when we first met ... I think she may have forgot that they still do that, shhh ... don't tell her
@Lizard - how did the gigs go??
@Holly - I hope the germs have begun to evacuate your home?? I hate those vicious cycles ... at times they seem to keep going and going! ugh!
@Grinseeker - First of all what is Surf Life Saving Training?? And secondly, what movie did you watch?? Netflix and I are friends
@Aimlow - how did the picnic go?? Unless you're a snowman you didn't have one here, I know that
@Shannon - WIS, VSN, SCS ... yes, you can tell you work at Ford! lol ... I did understand Nook ... I actually am going cheap but I want an ereader so I plan on getting a Kindle in a few weeks ... must be awesome to be more book-free!
@Lorina & Elf - That does stink
... I can't imagine being on or having my spouse work a night shift ... Obviously you do what you need to do, just saying although I can't relate it must be incredibly difficult at times. Any change in the future coming up on that or is it going to be for a while longer yet?
@better_balance - Awesome on the 5K! ... this was the first month that I didn't have a race in several months and I missed it cuz of a back injury ... can't wait for spring to come! But more importantly, awesome news on the offer!!!! I hope it goes through for you!
... As for me, furniture moved out of the "play room", carpet torn, and walls prepped for priming tomorrow night ... painting and carpet purchases this week and hopefully finish it up on the weekend! We'll see! 0 -
Lucy is back to her normal self mostly, with the addition of a cough and runny/stuffy nose. At least the fever is gone and she is eating and has energy again. She had a good birthday yesterday. We went to church then came home and made chocolate chip pancakes that looked like Mickey Mouse and opened presents. After that we went to the Children's Museum for a couple of hours. Came home and had cake took a good portion over the neighbors! Then watched a movie together and got the little ones ready for bed.
My son is feeling better though he still has a low grade fever. If you have a fever you stay home, so no church for him or children's museum and he's home from school today as well. We'll all get healthy at some point.
@Matt-How fun! Getting the room ready for the baby. I love moving furniture and painting walls, instant gratification!
@Better-Balance-I hope everything goes through for your house, a quick sale is nice.
@elf618-Makes it hard when you don't see your spouse, cherish the brief time you do have.
I am hoping to get back to the exercise routine this week, barring anyone else getting sick. I have 4 more pounds to the next mini goal pushing to get there!

I just noticed this thread. I'm newer around here. 35, married, 14 year old son, 6 year old step daughter. Accountant by day... DJ by night on the weekends. If I missed, I apologize for asking, but is this thread where the group generally interacts or is there another location I may have missed while reading through the thread? 0
