Trying to balance it all

lucy2021

Trying to balance work, family, excercise and getting everything else done that has to get done. I'm sure there are other moms out there that feel the same way! Looking for some friends to share recipes and tips! I'm 40 and trying to lose 20 lbs. I've been using MFP for a little over a week now and have seen what a great program it can be if a person can stick with it. Balance! That's what Im finding it's all about.

Hi

I'm a SAHM to 5 kids and my husband works shifts lol... it's chaos 'round here :bigsmile:

The title of your post struck me since my blog is at http://imseekingbalance.com haha... it can certainly be hard to strike a balance. Just remember, your health is very important. It's probably more important than getting all your house keeping done perfectly all the time

Welcome to MFP... it's a great place!

I'm a SAHM of 4, working husband, etc. It does get to you, and I found myself stress eating. I ended up gaining 35 lbs, and that was after the 10 I didn't lose after the birth of my last child. 45 lbs later, I trying to find the balance and get myself back on track. I figure, if I could gain it, I could find the time to lose it. We can keep each other motivated.

Oh Oh Oh....add me!!!! I am sooooo on the same page as you guys! I work 2nd shift, so trying to get up early to exercise, get the housework done, then get myself ready for work all by 1pm is INSANE and it's driving me crazy!! I was already 20lbs overweights, well then I decided to quit smoking in January, and now that I can really taste food for the first time in 15 yrs, I packed on another 20lbs! It's now time for all of this to come off, and hopefully make some new friends in the process.
