5:00 - 6:00 am ripped in 30 and 20-30 minutes on stationary bike
6:00 my 4 year old and 2 year old get up start getting them ready for daycare/school
6:30 shower if time (gross i know but not always time)
7:00 out the door to work and drop kids off at day care
7:30-11:30 work
11:30-12:30 lunch break (walk 30 minutes at local mall or park across street if weather good)
12:30 - 4:00 pm work
4:30 pick up kids
5:00 dinner prepared by DH
7:30 kids to bed

    7-8am - Whenever I end up waking up
    8-10am - Get my internet on, eat breakfast, do dishes/water plants, take shower and make my snacks/lunch for the day
    10:30am -2:30pm - Work
    2:30-3:30 - Lunch break head to the gym (luckily we have one at work) and hit the Elliptical/Stationary Bike(20-30mins) then do Strength exercises for 25mins.
    3:30-7:30pm - Work
    8pm - Cook dinner
    9pm - Eat dinner with SO and watch tv
    11pm - Bed time

    My schedule is a little weird because of my work :| Hopefully it will get better then I get an awesome shift next time around! My schedule will also change - I'll be doing P90X and am going to try and fit it in the morning or night after I get home.

    Get up around 6:30 - 6:45 - get ready for work, pack my lunch, and get my babies up
    8 - 8:15 - arrive at the sitters to drop the babies off then head to work
    9 - 5 - work in a dental office (Mon thru Fri of course)
    around 5:45 - pick up my babies from the sitters
    6 - 6:30 - arrive at home and eat dinner
    7 - 8 - spend some time with my babies, bathe them, and put them to bed
    8 - 10 - mommy's time which is when I do my workout then maybe sit and watch a show that has been dvred.

    I used to do my workouts in the morning, but I was dragging throughout the day when I did that. I have alot more energy when I do it at night. Plus, I am a night person, anyway.

    Very interesting thread

    MY time to be on the computer, reading, cleaning, destressing.

    10:30pm
    Little one goes to bed and I will watch a movie or read and go to bed.


    This is typically at least 3-4 days of my week. On days when I only do cardio or only do strength, then I use the extra time to go shopping with my mom or taking my little one out to parks or play dates. Some weeks I am scheduled to do volunteer work and my little one goes to grandmas or comes with me which is always an adventure! My weekends usually involve waking up at 7 and doing 3 hours of exercise while my husband takes over mommy duties. Sundays I wait til after church (if we go) to work out while everyone is napping. And at least one weekend a month I am without my husband (Sailor) completely making me a huge ball of stress with no personal time but sometimes my parents jump in to relieve me. My oldest has been a huge help with allowing me time to exercise if little one is uncooperative. Now that spring is here and summer is approaching.... I have lawn/garden duty. So I'll be doing the mowing, raking, weeding, gardening, planting, digging, burning, brushing...husband isn't home enough to help until weekends. Did I mention my yard is nearly 2 acres? LOL Fun Fun!!!

    My weeks depends on my love's schedule as she flops from AM's to PM's each week (nursing). I will use the AM week as example.

    5 am Get up pound some supps and head for the gym
    5:30-6:45a rock the gym like a mad sweaty beast man.
    6:45-7:15 shower, eat a little and head off for work.
    7:30-12:30p work sitting at a desk mostly
    12:30-1p Have a little lunch, run to post office or go let dogs out.
    1p-5/6p work, more desk time.
    6-7p go for a run or bike ride 3/4 times a week.
    7-11 eat, shower, play with dogs, crack a beer, sit on butt or play video games.

    Thanks to the topic originator for helping me realize how unsocial and boring I am.... :glasses:
