in Introduce Yourself
I'm a 36 year old mom of two. I work full-time and am looking for some working mom friends. My current friends are supportive but I think a few friends that are in the same position in their lives and would have a few ideas on healthy quick meals (after being exhausted working all day), making time for fitness (again after being exhausted from working and kids - You can see where I'm going with this ;)- etc.) would be extremely helpful. Thanks :flowerforyou:

    I do meal planning usually once a week on a day that I know I have some time. I try to build meals around whats on sale but it doesn't always work like that. I try to plan my menu so that a lot of my prep work coincides with another dinner that week. Also, I make large amounts of food so that I can freeze the extras for a quick dinner when I don't have the time to cook. I like to do dinner salads at least once a week too mostly for the health factor and also because there is usually little to no mess to clean up.

    I work full time, and have two daughters, ages 8 and 4, who are active in softball and with horses. I completely understand the feelings of not enough time/energy to eat healthy! I would love offer support to any of you, and have days when I need support as well. Let's do this together! :)

    Hi, my name is Julie and I just started this week. Already I'm swinging like a pendulum from healthy eating one day.. to old habits the next. I can see I'm really going to have to get this meal planning thing down to make this work. I want to lose about 40lb total, but have 20 as my goal in June. I'll take and give whatever support I can:D
    Friend me too y'all!!!!

    I work full time and a mother of a sweet almost 3 year old girl. My son is 25 and lives with his wife, so I don't have to worry about him. So, I completely understand being tired and finding time to work out.

    I work about 30 hrs a week and have 3 kids (15,12 and 7). It can be hard sometimes to squeeze everything in. And then when I do workout I usually feel guilty for taking time for myself. :(- Feel free to add me if you would like to. :)

    I work full time and am the mother to 3 sons (ages 21, 19, and 12). My two oldest are away at college, so I work my butt off to try and help them have what they need for school. My job is stressful and does require me to travel, so I do that as well.

    I'm in the same boat...I just turned 37, have two kids (10 and 6), and work full time. It's SO not easy to find any time for myself, but I try to squeeze it in where I can. I do all of my workouts at home (I definitely don't have time for a gym!) and I focus on what I eat...

    Feel free to add me...I can totally relate!
