So tired...will this get better?

I agree that you should increase your calorie intake. I also have 4 kids - ages 8, 4, 20 months, and 8 weeks. It's CRAZY around here all the time. My DH works loooong hours, so it's always mommy to the rescue lol. He can't even help in the middle of the night b/c he works so much.

Anyway, I can understand where you're coming from. It's indeed draining. There is no way right now that I can fit in more than 15 minutes of exercise at one time. It just doesn't happen. I'm lucky if I get 10 full minutes. But There are things I am doing through the day to help. Like when I am walking the baby or just walking in general I squeeze my abs. If I am cooking dinner I jog in place. I just make sure I move extra all the time. Lemme tell you though, it's working. I've lost 3 inches in 4weeks from my hips. That is all I'm measuring right now since they're massive LOL. I was eating 1200 cals a day too and I felt like I was dragging, so I now eat anywhere between 1400 - 1600. Sometimes I go a lil over, but no more than 1800 and that is on a good exercise day.

I hope you find what works for you. Good luck hunny, you are a busy mommy...give yourself a break. :flowerforyou:
