Needing a 25 Hour Day

Anyone feel like they could use an extra hour in their day?

My day starts at 4:30 am and ends at 10pm. I have a 3 hour commute. 1 hr to get to work in the morning and 2 hours to get home from work. I used to go to the gym 3 to 4 times a week. I used to run half-marathons once a year, but now I get winded on a 1 mile walk. I have gained about 65 lbs since my son was born, and he's about 16 mths now. Any extra time I have I try to spend with my son and husband. I am working, keeping house, and taking care of my family, but there doesn't seem like there's any time left for me like there used to be. I'm a bit frustrated, but I need to try to make time.

I have great friends, but I only see them about once a month because everyone's schedules are chaotic. I would love to be part of an online support group. I would like to around like minded people, and I would try to be there in return.

My most immediate goal is to lose between 20 and 30 lbs. by April because my in-laws have planned a family vacation to Hawaii, and I'm dreading the thought of getting into a swimsuit.

My long term goal is to get back to "one-derland" (under 200 lbs.)

Friend Request me if you want support and don't mind being a supporter!

    Heck nah, I need a slower pace or I'd go insane.

    I'm curious, where will you find the time to be here? Not a sarcastic or snide question, honest!

    I have time to be online before work and on my lunch hour. Also, I have the MFP app on my phone, so I can log-on anywhere!
