    The last two days I've been really tired as well. I tend to have my days where I will be super tired for a few days and have tons of energy for a few days. It probably depends on how I slept. I have a 2 year old daughter (3 next month) and a 10 year old boy. So at least one is in school part of the day.

    That's exactly how I am! So frustrating. Just so "bleh" but when it's time for bed I'm like wide awake. How annoying lol.

    I do the same thing! My husband never knows what the house will look like when he comes home: clean on energetic days and cluttered on low energy days. I have a 3 year old and 5 month old. My oldest and I are still adjusting to this SAHM gig. I'm a little worried about "cabin fever" this winter...

    Im not a mother, but I do spend my work days doing much the same as any SAHM, except the cleaning up is a part of it regardless of my energy levels haha.

    I take care of twins who are a month shy of being 3. They can really take it out of me! Its not a physical tired feeling but an emotional one. Sometimes the only break I really need is just some quiet. Everything littles do is so loud and it really is fun in the moments but I live a quiet life on my own so I will steal a private bathroom break when I get overwhelmed by the energy of the room. Im an introvert too so that's about my only weakness as a child care provider. At a certain point Im all out of emotional energy so I turn the fan on in the bathroom and close the door for a minute or two. Just a short breather then I can jump right back into the chaos!

    I'm an introvert too which is why I love running now. Seriously, I mostly run just to have some quiet time. I never stuck to it before because I would get bored but now it's like a vacation!!!

    That's how I am. Emotionally drained which makes me lazy. I rarely get time alone so when I do it's hard to get motivated. But I've been finding a groove finally!

    Lmao. I would love that but I never end up sticking with it and just wasting money. I told myself if I stay with it I'll get a membership.

    SAHM of a 3yo boy! My husband works all day, most days so it is just me and my son most of the time. I end up staying up late (like now) and snacking, then getting lazy during the day because I was up late just to have some time to myself!! Ahhh, its a crazy cycle that I need to break. Working on trying to put myself first more often? It's usually my son first, husband second, and myself last. Add me, please! I have a lot of weight to lose. Would like a 100lb loss, starting at 227lbs and 5'4" 27years old.
  • SAHM of a 3 year old! My fiancé works 3rd shift and sleeps most of the day so I have plenty of free time. I have a want to lose weight and be healthier, but I just have lack of knowledge, honestly! From eating clean to any workouts I can do at home. Im only wanting to lose about 20 lbs. I'm about 160 lbs and my goal is 140 lbs! :)

    I'm a work-at-home mother of a 5 month old, but I'm a freelancer, so my workload varies. I don't have any major projects at the moment. Getting motivated is especially hard on days like today, when she kept me up all night.

    I'm not a mother but I'm a stay at home wife on disability. I am supposed to take care of the house but I'm not the most motivated cleaner. I do exercise 6 days a week at home and have been losing very slowly. I want to have the energy to clean regularly, but after I work out I'm done. Feel free to add me.

    Yup love my gym with baby sitting. I have a five year old who is in morning kindergarten and a four and a half month old. I go to the gym in the morning. It's the only time all day that I don't have a baby attached to me plus I get to shower in peace! I'm in Canada and off work on maternity leave until August. Not sure if I'm going to go back to my job or not yet.

    Seriously, do it. Put on some headphones and listen to your music in PEACE while on the treadmill/rowing machine/whatever floats your boat. It's fantastic. After a day at home with the kids it's SO RELAXING. Plus it gives the kids a break and they get to socialize during school break.

    Of course the first gym I joined when the kids were 2.5 was a disaster because the women who took care of it were NOT good with kids, so I couldn't stick to it (plus the babysitting area was the size of a closet, seriously), but the one I go to now is great.

    Hello! I am a SAHM of a 3 yo and a 1 yo. I usually get 5-6 hours of sleep, sometimes that is 5-6 hours straight! I am trying my best to still work out with little energy and learning how to cook healthy meals for my family. Add me if you would like!
