    I'm a SAHM too! I have two girls - 6.5 and 3.5. My older one is in first grade so most of the time it's just me and the little one. She does go to preschool twice a week for 3 hours though.

    Do any of you workout at home too? That's what I do. I have a smallish home gym upstairs(it's also the playroom). I have an elliptical, a weight bench, olympic barbell, ez curl bar, assorted weight plates, dumbbells from 3lb to 10lb plus a set of adjustable dumbbells.

    Right now I am going through New Rules of Lifting for Women. I'm almost done with stage 1. It's been good so far but I know it's only going to get more challenging, which I am looking forward to.

    Hi am a stay at home mom of 3. They are 8, 6 and 18 months. I am hoping that I can gain some motivation all of you other SAHM's. I have been on another thread and which was great but it seemed that most of the people on there were single or they were married with no kids and I have been having a hard time trying to keep up with them. As moms we all know that life gets in the way of so many things that we want to do for ourselves, but being the unselfish people that we are, we put our kids and husbands before ourselves. I am hoping that being apart of this group i won't feel so bad if I only get to workout 3 times a week or I only burn 300 calories in a workout instead of like 800 or some crazy number.

    I hope that I can be supportive of all of you and bring you the motivation that you are looking for. :smile:

    How are our SAHM's doing this week? Does anyone need motivation? I started a no sugar/wheat diet on Monday and trying to last until Thanksgiving. I am trying to clean up my eating and see if it makes a difference in my belly. The first 3 days were ok but I am starting to have cravings now, probably due to the fact that AF will be here any minute. I knew it would be hard but I am resolved to not give in and make healthy choices instead.

    Also, I am about to start Stage 2 of The New Rules of Lifting for Women. I hear it's pretty tough but I am looking forward to getting stronger and leaner.

    So, how's it going?

    I did a mommy and me gymnastics class with my 19-month old this morning. Wow, that was a real workout. He, very literally, had me running in circles. I am wiped out!

    One of my challenges has been trying to work in exercises during the day. Many days I am too spent in the evenings to do a long workout. If I can get in walks and other exercise during the day, things go much smoother for me. Also, I've found some cute yoga videos on youtube that are geared towards kids. My two love them and we do them together.

    MrsSpratt-I get up an hour earlier than my kids and workout. I am NOT a morning person either. It's the only way I can guarantee I will do it. If I tell myself I will do it later, I find a 1001 reasons to do something else. My daughter likes to watch me work out but she bugs me the entire time. (I need this! I need that!) It's just easier to do it when she's sleeping.

    At night I'm dead to the world or I'm running the kids to one sport or another.
