I'm the mother of two beautiful, busy daughters (15 and 11)! I work full-time during the day and the evenings I spend building our second business. Our girls drag race in addition to school sports and activities. I could use all of the hints and tips you guys have to work healthy ways back into our busy lives! Feel free to add me. I'm new to MFP so I'm just learning how to do all of that!0

Please feel free to add me. The more the merrier! I have a 2 year old daughter0

Got two boys, 9yo and 8mo. For some reason i'm finding it easier to eat healthy now we have a baby, think it's because my aim is to hit my goal weight before his first birthday.
Feel free to add me, I've got 29 lbs to go.0 -

Happy tuesday. What is on your calendar today for exercise or eating right? I completed a 4.25 mile run, lifted weights for 40 minutes, and now getting some chores done before I head off to work.0

One of the most common struggles I hear about from friends and family is that they don't have the time to exercise or meal prep. Hog wash! If you are telling yourself that, then I want you to seriously rethink that. How many times have you had to get something done before a trip or the end of the week, and you managed to get it done? How many times have you said I don't have time for this, but have time for that, but the "that" doesn't really assist you with achieving your goals?
The truth of the matter is, you have the time, you just have to be willing to formulate a plan to make it happen, and then stick to that plan. We all have the same amount of time in a day, and there are those out there that get everything on their list done, and still have time for some "me" time. If they can do, if I can do it, then so can anyone else.
Most of us on here are family folks. One, two, three or more kids. Throw in the cats and dogs, fish, aunts or uncles and you have a house full. Full time jobs, other extra curricular activities. The list can go on an on. Those windows of opportunity get smaller and smaller. But, if you schedule out the time you need, make it non-negotiable, and stick to it, you will find that yes it can be done, you still get your other chores done, and probably still have a little me time left.
I have 3 kids. My girls are new teenagers. Yikes! So lots of drama there. I also have 2 dogs. My wife works full time, I work full time with a 1 hour commute, plus have a part time job as a coach. I still manage to get my workouts in 6 days a week, meal prep at least 2 times a week, and help get my kids to track, cross country, running club, archery, and gymnastics. I do end up sacrificing a little bit of sleep (I only get about 6 hours on average) but I make it work and still work towards my goals every day. You can too!
So, the next time you tell yourself you don't have the time, is that really true, or just a smoke screen to hide you from doing what you need to do to accomplish what you want to do? Good luck today, and make every minute count!

I know very well that 'lack of time' is, in many instances, nothing more than a smokescreen for me. Married, with one kid, a four day a week job that will go back to 5 days in March and an hour and 45 minute commute each way. So, yes - life is busy but it's something that my husband and I are both aiming to kick this year as you can spend a lot of that spare time bemoaning the fact that you don't have time do do something - talk about the irony! One of the things that I hate is what I perceive to be the wasted 2 hours that I spend on trains each day - now for sure, I can't use that time for a workout but I can do more productive things than I do. So, there's a resolution for the years to come - to make the most of every second that I have 0

I am LOVING this program. I'm on Day 12. The eating has been great too. Those containers are a godsend! Lol. Down 7 1/2 pounds! I can already see changes in my body which is great because I was not good to it over the holidays!0 -
Hi I'm a Mother to three children 9,7 and 6. I work almost full time hours and studying part time. So very busy times at least until the end of next year.0

Welcome to the group!0 -
So what do some of you struggle with the most? Making the time to exercise, the exercises themselves, eating right, or getting enough sleep?0

70%! 70% of what you might be asking? 70% of people that start a fitness program, whether it be at home, in a gym, at a fitness club NEVER finish it! Can you believe that. 70%! That is amazing! Why do you think that is? Is it fear of the work, the commitment to go on, the uncertainty of what to do? How many on New Years Eve said "I am hitting the gym tomorrow" or "I'm starting a workout program tomorrow" or "I am going to start eating better tomorrow" and have fallen off that horse already? It's easy to do right! Maybe you don't have someone cheering you on in your corner, maybe your starting off with a program or regiment that is too tough, so you got discouraged and quit. Whatever the case is, DON'T QUIT! Find someone to support you, guide you, push you through that day and on to the next. That decision will change your life forever!0 -
Alright, you have heard me talking about this program the Hammer and Chisel. Well check this out. I am on day 26 and seeing great results already. I truly love this program. Of course, I have dialed in my nutrition a little better too, but still. Woot Woot! I can wait to see what the next 34 days will bring!
