If I could stay at home I could keep the house clean, keep the flowerbeds cleaned out. I could exercise all the time. Well guess what??????? That stuff is not happening. I have been home since my oldest was five. My house better than it was, but it is not always clean. The flowerbeds would not be cleaned out if it were not for my husband and my mother. And, I do not exercise. There for a while, I did keep the tv on that FIT channel and watched all the exercises. lol. If all you had to do was watch, I would be a negative size 4. lol. I have brought Zumba dvds, walking dvds, plattes dvds, hip hop dvds. You name it I have brought it.
I need to get up off my BUTT and do something.
I know exactly what you mean!! I haven't had to work since I had my first, but when I did work I thought if I was at home I would do all these fabulous domestic-type things. What I forgot was that I am not especially domestic, and I HATE cleaning! And yardwork. lol. Oh well, I figure my house would probably look even worse if I was working. In fact, I had planned to clean the bathroom today...but being on the computer is just more interesting! :laugh: I am managing 2-3 workouts per week, and I seem to be busy all the time, but I really couldn't tell you what I actually do all day.
Oh yeah - I also remember once asking my doctor if it counted as exercise if I owned a tae-bo workout dvd. He said not if it still was in the original packaging. Figures...0 -

Rachel 2178: I would suggest when the 5 month old naps have a certain set of toys, coloring books, puzzles etc. for the 4 yr old. These only come out when you are working out. When you are done working out, that special toy goes away for the day. Maybe a goodie bag from the dollar store?
My youngest sometimes likes to try and work out with me. She twirls and jumps all around to my Denise Austin DVD and says "I hope I get results in 30 days or less!".0 -
Do you guys find it hard sometimes, during down time, not to snack? Sometimes I walk to the kitchen and have the urge to grab something! Ha!!!
Definitely! I've been working on making sure the snack options are healthy!

Stay at home mom to two boys ages 6 and 8.5. My husband is wonderful in supporting me through my fitness regime. I get a lot of "me" time because they're in school. When people ask me what I do I tell them "I gym"0

SAHM / WAHM - Iowa
I work at home and stay at home with my 3 kids (2 1/2 yr old son, 1 yr old b/g twins). I find that i snack and am tired right in the afternoon...hard to balance work and working out...both during the day and at night. Getting in the groove though...slowly. I was getting disappointed as my scale yo-yoed back and forth but i realize this is a life change and not a sprint. i'd rather do it slow and steady and keep it off then do it fast and not manage all aspects of my life as family and work and me have to balance out.0 -
I am a SAHM of a 3 year old and twin 18 month olds. All I want to do is eat, especially when they cry a lot, or the dog is bad, or they pull each others hair. I have bad days, and then I have good days. Working on my good eating days to be way more frequent than the bad. Excercise I have been doing good with, 5-7days a week, about an hour, but it takes up most of my evenings with my hubby. : ( the earlier I get up in the morning to excercise, the earlier the kids wake up! I am sure that there is a button in my bed, that alerts all three kids when I get up in the morning! I live in northern alberta, Canada, and I CANT WAIT TIL SUMMER!0
