I work out at 8:30 at night, until about 10:00, get my protein drink in, shower and in bed by 11:30...My kid goes to bed at 8:00, talk to the fiance until about 8:15 and then I'm downstairs going all out...I do this 4 days a week.

Early mornings are the best time for me ,IF for some reason I want to lay my head back a little longer then I work it out right after I perpare their dinner and go hard for hour and a half!! but my kids are old enough to fin for there self a little!!!:bigsmile:

Being a mother of 2 young children, working full time and taking 12 credit at school....the only time i really find time to work out is early in the morning (which never seems to happen since I love sleep to much :laugh:) or after the kiddos are in bed. Or sometimes I can convince my hubby to let me work out while they are eatting dinner and then we switch and I put them to bed while he works out.

I love my sleep, so mornings are a no no. I pick up kids and get home around 5:45. The first thing I do is prepare dinner, put clothes in washer and hope on my treadmill. I walk for 45 mins a day and do any other exercise I can before bed. My family demands a lot of my time. I only ask my fiance for 45-60 minutes of me time a day.

I have a 2 y.o. and a 5 y.o., and I have to say finding time to work out is much easier now than it was a couple of years ago!

Two days a week I go to the fitness center at my office after work. Hubs picks up the kids a little earlier than usual, then makes dinner when he gets home. I end up getting home usually just as the food is hitting the table!

For two more weekdays, I do Wii fit after the kids go to bed.

On the weekend, I try to get out and walk with the kiddos (or shop :-))

Mornings are not an option for me, as I am usually up until 11:30 or 12 at night trying to get the laundry done, lunches packed, etc. and I need my sleep in the am! At lunchtime, I can never get away from my desk - but I will try to get in a walk at least twice a week after the weather warms up.

Lunchtime walks around my campus at work (weather permitting)... I'm on week 4 of Couch to 5K, so I've been heading to the gym to get on the treadmill. Fortunately, the babysitting room at the gym is open until 8:30 p.m.. So as long as homework, etc. is done, my girls come with me to the gym. Otherwise, they stay home with Daddy. It takes extra effort to get there, but I'm determined to keep up with this program. Can't wait until the weather improves and the evenings get lighter, so I can do my runs outside. On the few nice days we had, my girls came with me to the track at a nearby school. They rode their scooters and played while I jogged on the track.

I can't do early mornings! I get up at 5:30 just to get showered and everyone up, dressed and out the door. And I'm so not a morning person. :yawn:

I'm lucky like you - hubby does all of the cooking! I do all the clean-up though, and he is a messy cook. I'm not complaining, though. :bigsmile:
