    I find the energy truly only comes a couple of weeks after you start. So it’s a matter of toughing out the hard yards in the beginning - and then it gets a lot easier and exercise can become a fun part of the day as you sleep and eat better too. Can you combine the kids and exercise at all? Kids love to get out and about ....

    Get the kids to help with cooking dinner and housework. That will free up tons of time.

    I prefer to workout in the morning. It can definitely be a challenge to get up early, but I'm far more likely to stick with it vs. waiting until after I get home from work. Do what you need to do in order to make this time for yourself - even if it's early in the AM... know that you aren't alone. I'm right there along side you. :)
