    Hello I'd like to add you to my fitness pal for support and motivation. I'm a Mom of a 1 yr old and three months pregnant. I am trying to find other myfitnesspal buddies who are busy Moms like me that are trying to get regular/ Daily workouts and healthy eating into their busy schedule, seeing other busy moms log in daily is major encouragement. Thanks!

    Regards,

    Ps) thanks for creating this thread! I've sent friend request to some of you already thanks.

    Welcome Fely!

    Good weekend. I got some more spring cleaning done but broke the broom. So off to buy a new better broom that can handle my strength LOL :D

    You must be as strong as Thor!

    It was from Walmart so I don't think it was the best quality broom. My shoulders do feel the workout of sweeping the garages though. Definitely feeling the delayed onset muscle pain today.

    Walked my dog with my walking buddy this morning... And just finished cutting the grass... Time to squeeze in some edging... Then quick shower and pick up the kids from school....Spring is AWESOME!

    Just a quick run this morning but I have a few baskets of laundry waiting to be folder. Shoulders were aching from sweeping but now they are better so tonight will be lots of folding. Maybe I'll do it standing on the half ball.

    I have been running shorter but harder to try to increase my speed. My bottom is so aching I am having trouble sitting still at my desk.

    You can tell when it's nice outside...the yard looks nice, and the garage is clean...but step into the house and wham! Time to tornado tidy before breakfast. Have a fantastic Sunday!

    Also I'm not sure if it's been mentioned but I have been doing YouTube workouts, "the lean machines 10 minute workout" they have all different variations from fat blaster workouts, arms, tummy, bum ect... All 10 minutes! A lifesaver when a busy mum!

    4 mile walk with hubby on Saturday was a nice start to the weekend. :) We saw a large red crested woodpecker.

    I hope so. Got up extra early to get 2.5 mi. in but work is getting hectic so I have to keep my stress hormones in line.

    Happy Friday! I love this thread! I am a single Mom and keeping the house clean, cooking/prepping meals and getting the laundry done in addition to Mommy duties and a full time job are time consuming enough so I don't ever feel like I have time for exercise! But you've motivated me to thoroughly clean my house this weekend! I always work up a good sweat while cleaning! I'd like to add you too - I need more friends as mine keep dropping off somehow. I still have 103 lbs to lose!

    We have plenty to do at home, so we might as well make it fun, and burn calories while we do it!

    I'm gearing up for my annual garage sale in June. I love to go through my house and clutter clear. Today it's my closet. Now that I've lost about 30 pounds it's time to get rid of what doesn't fit anymore, and what I don't love. Time for fun music and dancing...after I get the dog to the groomer, and the kids to school. Have a terrific Tuesday!

    Clearing the old baggy clothes from the closet feels wonderful and freeing. Enjoy your day. I'm stuck at work but plan to eat outside for lunch so I can at least get some sun.

    Hey all! I'm currently a stay at home mom since being laid off a couple months ago so the bulk of the work around home is mine since I'm here most of the day. On top of that I have (almost) 3 year old triplets to chase after. We play "chase" around the house to get my steps in...lol...and they think I'm crazy but that's ok...lol. I try to fit in an at-home workout after they go to sleep at night. I use YouTube workout videos and either body weight, small hand weights, or kettle bell. Feel free to add me to MFP, Fitbit https://www.fitbit.com/user/3DNTCR, or Instagram " whatatrip3 ". Love having like-minded friends for motivation!
