    I have 2 kids and a husband who works an opposite schedule from me. My day begins before 4:00 and if I am lucky I'm in bed by 11:00. I'm just trying to keep my head above water.

    Same here...my husband works out of town and I work full time with two boys. Thankfully they aren't little, but I still do too much for them. I struggle with losing weight and am trying to lose the same 5 lbs again! A new support system with people in the same situation as me would be helpful...because what I'm doing is not working. Feel free to add me...

    *Raises hand* I have a one year old and work full time. Hubby owns his own business and works crazy hours. I had to quit zumba recently b/c I didn't want to drag the kid out with the time/weather change ... Life of a mom. Feel free to add. My diary is open

    Also a busy mom here!! Working full time, tending to a family & house and husband who isn't home often because of his work schedule.

    It's hard to balance all that we have on our plate. If one thing is out of line it can affect everything we do. I take it one day at a time. I try to plan and prepare as best I can. I try to squeeze workouts out when I can. Recently invested in a yoga ball so I can do some workouts while my son watches tv or plays in the family room and I can still be with him. Turns out he likes the yoga ball as well...win/win...hoping he grows up with better habits then I did.

    I plan my meals out on the weekends. I try to buy fresh fruits & veggies when in season. I pack lunches/snacks so I am not tempted at work. I workout (not every day because, lets face it some days I am just too tired or don't have time) either before my son wakes up or after he is asleep I love ondemand workouts. A nice variety so I never get board.

    Try not to get caught up on the small things...tomorrow is a new day and your family is your priority :smile:

    I completely understand!! I may only have one child (an almost 3 year old boy), but I work full time, my husband is a firefighter (shift work, and not 24 hour shifts), we own a side business, I'm busy studying for my C.E.T. and not to mention we play sports as well (each play on a hockey & baseball team, I play soccer and we ski/snowboard as well). Love my life, but the only time I can find to go to the gym is during my lunch hour. Feel free to add me if you want a supportive friend who understands!!

    yup-- I am a mom of 5 kids and I stay home with them. We school at home so that occupies a lot of time. My hubby works a stressful job but thankfully he doesn't have to travel very much. Kids are busy with activities and I try to get to a self-defense class one or two days a week. Otherwise I work out at home because I seriously don't want to spend the time getting in the car to head to and from a gym. I also hate working out in front of other people. Anyone can feel free to add me. I am on daily and try to support and encourage my pals on here.

    Anyone can feel free to add me. I enjoy the hectic run, run, run of being a mom, wife and employee. The day's are long and free time is non-existent but what else would I do with my time? I do log everyday and am pretty good with commenting on the posts.

    Hi! Feel free to add me! I'm a single-mom (divorced) to a busy, busy, 9 yo girl. She is just finishing up her cheerleading season, so I'm looking forward to the pace slowing down for a bit! I also work full-time, and sometimes have to bring work home.

    Hi! Mom of two, girlfriend, and full time student... and I'm starting a new job soon. It can be tiring! I just try to keep track of what I eat without obsessing, and I go to the gym when I have time (sometimes I have to force myself to) If I can't make it to the gym , I settle for doing at home exercises during the kids naptime!

    Hi ladies mother to 2 girls one is a toddler and one is school aged plus the other daily motherly commitments to make yes I am just am busy as you all. About 2 weeks ago I decided to change my eating habits once again to do more protein and smaller meals thru out the day. One friend of mine said she does 6 meals a day. Im lucky if I can get 3 meals with snacks in between done. One good thing is my youngest and I share a room with my computer. Though she constantly leaves my room to run around and such when I do get that time to commit to a work out is I try to at least during the day after work or after dinner while shes finally relaxing for the night. But last week since the weather changed and I cant take her for a walk too much I decided to do some cardio in the room. So if any one needs support or an ear to vent to add me :)

    I work full time and have 2 boys. I'm married to an oilfield worker so often times it's like being a single mom. It's hard to balance home, work and fitness and some days are easier than others. We just have to remember that it's ok to put ourselves first sometimes. If momma ain't happy...LOL
