in Motivation and Support
Hey busy mama, I'm a mom of three boys. 8,5 and 8 months. I use to be in the gym everyday before this last pregnancy and now the "I have no time" excuse has become my worst nightmare. Looking for women to go crazy at getting back into that body you had or even better the best body you have yet to achieve.
Any support, friends and motivation is happily welcome. Add me ladies, let's get It! ;)

    I have 5 kids ages 2 to 7 (no twins) and started a couple weeks ago with my transformation. Trying to lose 20-25. It's hard some days!

    I feel you! I school my four kiddos at home (one a four-year old). I'm also a freelance developer. I've had to learn to split up my workouts, and make space in my home for equipment. Nighttime workouts, and being almost over-the-top during recess with the kids have become "the norm". :D

    Do you have any gyms in your area that provide daycare? You get a little break from the little ones and get to exercise ++

    I have never been a gym rat. Always too intimidating. I have 7 kiddos ages 10 to 5months(no twins). I also home school so little to no time to myself. I hope to start running again once we move(my treadmill is stuck in the garage). I need movers to move it inside bc my husband can't help me move it(medically he cant lift anything over 15lbs).

    Actually I do and for the year it's 350.00 not counting the daycare price I'd have to pay per child each visit. :/ I have a 9 month old and a 5 year old..he starts school in Sep.

    So out of 16 hours in a day, you can't make 1hour your own every other day?

    Oh I use to. Every single day. Just as of late I can't find the time. My 9 month old is still exclusively breast feeding and my husband is self conscious about me getting fit again. Right now I am getting my diet under control and sticking to it, that is the hard part. Working out is the easy part.

    Sometimes... No, Niner, you can't. Sometimes it's a luxury to have a shower. Sometimes it's a miracle to sit down for a few mins... And often that's only in the bathroom, and with company.

    Hahahaha I am dying! Let the truth out!
    Yes and even in the bathroom my youngest crawls his way in. If I want a shower I shower at 6:30am after I nurse my baby and before I put my 8 year old on the bus while my 5 year old sleeps.

    Yup! the struggle is real. I work night shift and my little one is 2.5 years old. Those two don't seem to mix very well. Add in trying to work out and eat semi healthy.... HARD

    I use to get an hour lunch and take that to get what I could in. It's hard when you're spending all your time caring for everyone but yourself.

    Man that is my problem. My house though if I let it slip one day, I cringe and feel like I gotta bleach everything. I have 3 sons, two dogs, a cat and my husband is a mechanic. What I let go of, is myself. I'm last with everything. Lol
    Feel free to add me merrysailor88

    Echoing the above... Sometimes no you can't. I am lucky to get a shower most days with my 4 month old.
