Working Out! I have 4 kids under 8 and a busy husband. With 6 schedules in the house mine usually comes in last on the priority list.
Made plans with a friend to start a couch to 5k program and then 5 of us got knocked out by the stomach bug...this week we were set to go again when HER house got hit by the stomach bug! I just keep trying... I need to be more diligent to do strength training at home during naps and after they are all in bed. 0 -
I think mine is kinda a combo deal. I have 4 kids 2-11 and I workout when the youngest 2 nap unless theres a late therapy appointment which derails it all. I get discouraged when I have to log the calorie brun from my HRM into mfp cause it seems half of what everyone else burns doing the same workout and yet I know I gave it my all. Well that leads to the eating cause y not i'm always going to be fat attitude. its a roller coaster. Need to refind my mojo and get back on track to losing0

I actually just started the couch to 5k last week!! You know what we should do, if your friends will......do a facebook page for this group and we can all post together and motivate?? What do you think?0

I also struggle with a combo of eating right and finding time to exercise; I have 3 kids (10, 6 and 14 mos) and I nanny a 10 month old full time, and I go to nursing school 3 nights a week. I lost about 45 lbs on WW over the summer, but cancelled my membership after i found MFP. I joined a brand new gym about 25 mins away from me but sadly, I've only been once since Thanksgiving how embarassing. I love carbs, especially lately. I'm blaming my exhaustion and the weather, but really I know there is nobody to blame but myself.
Hoping to find some motiviation buried underneath the spare 15 lbs I'm carrying....it must be in there somewhere! I'm frustrated.0 -
Great idea for the fb group!! I'm in!0

I know what you mean by just eat what I want things will never change. Been there for sure. What do you think about an accoutability partner...would that help?0

jelaw11......I had the same prob you did not being able to go to the gym. I workout at home now, let me know if you need some help with that. I'm doing a cool running program now and have some other ideas too!0
-
the facebook page would be cool. I have tried c25k but always get bored after a few days. i get distracted usually or into my music and end up running the whole time. maybe i should give it another shot and see if it gets any better after day 3 which is where i normally stop.0

My issue is my husband works 16 days and then has 7 days off. Most times he is in a hotel during his two weeks at work. I have trouble finding a routine when he is home. When he is gone, I get into a rhythm of healthy eating and exercise and then he is home and we do different things so I get off track quite easily and it drives me crazy!!0

I started eating better, WAY better at the beginning of the year and I'm totally into it now, but working out is a different story. I have 3 kids, one is with me 24/7, we have a gym membership but I get lazy when I think of loading them all up into the car to take with me to the gym. my husband works crazy hours and is usually not home until 9pm. I started a beach body challenge monday and boy, I'm struggling to push play, I know I have to, I know it's good for me, I know I'll be incredibly happy when I'm fit and healthy again, but taking these first steps to get into the habit of working out daily is a bit of a struggle for me now.0

I'm home with a 2 1/2 yr old and I started working out in the morning. It's a challenge because she gets mad that she doesn't have my undivided attention and starts throwing balls at me! My main problem is this 40 yr old metabolism. It's frustrating how long it takes to lose a few pounds compared to 10 years ago. I can always use a little motivation.0

That is one hell of a day! I can't even imagine.0

Saaaaaame here girl! Ive been "clean eating" for a few days and its very difficult emotionally... embarassing but true 0 -
mine is a combo of both! i've worked out once this week!!!! i went on a binge a week ago where i ate literally anything and everything!
it shouldnt be like that! i have 2 wonderful kids 2 & 8 months so i have my hands full! i'm still young & its sad ive allowed myself to get this way. i have always been a hefty girl but im at my heaviest 240 & i'm only 5'6!!!! its so hard to stay motivated when im at home 24/7 with the kids cause hubby is always working! i desperately need this site to help me, its my last option!0 -

Mine is the weekends eating food! I'm trying this week to basically bank calories and see where I am net at at the end of the week.0 -
And for all of you thinking couch to 5K, do it! It's how I learned to run and over the course of a year I went from not running to running a marathon.0

I have two boys age 3 & 6 and I struggle finding time to get to the gym or to squeeze in a workout... My hubby also works evenings and the afternoon is the only time we have to spend together during the week.... So I have been getting up and going to the gym at 530 am.... I am enjoying it so far! Best of Luck!!! xo0

working out!
I have one toddler and a hubs that loves to do nothing after work and leave a mess everywhere he goes! I'm 35 weeks with my second daughter and struggle to get in my prenatal yoga/walks. It's thankfully gotten easier to eat healthy0 -

My greatest struggle would definitely be trying to a workout in. I have to work out when DD is napping or in the morning before she wakes up. Or I can wait till DD is asleep and by that time I usually just want to watch TV and go to sleep!0 -
My 2 year old just stands there and watches me like I'm a moron when I try to work out! I've only managed it once so far and now she refuses to sleep in the day so am trying to find other ways of fitting it in0

My greatest struggles in keeping on the eating right plan during the weekend. Its not too hard but the booze is a temptation! :drinker:
Also finding time to work out between school, kids and my marriage.0
