Any Full Time Working Mums out there??

Hi there! Single mom to a 15-month old here. I work full time and spend 2.5 hour commuting every day. For breakfast, I tend to make protein shakes that I can drink in the car. Lunch is usually a frozen healthy choice meal. For dinner, I usually cook a few things on the weekends that can last me though the work week. I love using my slow cooker for chilis or stews because I can prep all the ingredients in the morning, set the slow cooker on low for 7-8 hours, and enjoy the rest of my day.

I take advantage of the daycare at my gym and try to go at least twice a week. On other days, I usually do a DVD workout at home while my little one is eating or taking a nap. It's tough but I'm managing and have lost 25 lbs so far!

Hi I work full time and my husband and I work opposite shifts so it can be difficult. He usually does dinner on his 2 days off. so then I do dinner the other 5 days. Usually 1 is subway. 1 is usually breakfast-for-dinner like eggs with guacamole. 1 is usually homemade pizza. that leaves 2 more days which are things like homemade chicken nuggets with roasted veggies, homemade meatballs with spaghetti and peas, fajita type stuff, etc. I usually do fix something big on the weekends to have left overs for 1 day and lunches for me at work.

I definitely usually have simpler meals which are quicker to prepare but that's fine by me. pizza only takes longer because of the crust but you can pre-make it and freeze it in batches and take it out to thaw and all of that.

Oh yea, and I'm a mom. lol

Feel free to add me, as well. I have a 1.5 yr old daughter, and a husband, and I work full time. I usually get home with my daughter around 6 and by that time she's starving. I hate having to give her a snack so close to dinner, but sometimes I have to if I can't get dinner on the table quickly. I do a lot of prep work ahead of time, such as cutting vegetables, baking chicken, assembling a casserole, etc, the night before after my daughter goes to bed. I plan my menu for the week when I go grocery shopping on the weekend, so while I'm prepping foods I can think ahead to the rest of the week. Also, most of the meals I cook, I make double, so we can have it again later in the week, or I freeze it to have as a quick meal another time. I also use my crockpot about once a week... I prep it the night before and put it in the fridge, so in the morning I just have to pop it in and turn it on.
I recently discovered the clean eating website, http://www.cleaneatingmag.com, which has a lot of great, healthy, meals. Some of them are a little high maintenance, but aren't too bad if you prep ahead of time.

I'm a full-time working-at-home mom of three children aged 8, 3 and 8 months old. My oldest is a special needs child and we also run a dairy farm on top of all that so finding time for cooking and exercicing is a real challenge!

Feel free to add me.

I'm a full time working single mother of a 4 month old. And it's tough. He is my inspiration to lose weight so I can set a good example for him as well as keep up with him (he is already showing signs of being quite active). I tend to cook large quantities of things that can be frozen in single servings. I have an excellent lemon chicken noodle soup recipe (226 calories) and although the ratatouille is a bit heavy on oil, it is very filling for 2 cups worth at 360 calories.

I'm also a single working mom. I work 9-530 and between my zumba stuff and my daughter's activities I'm always running!

I also use the crockpot a lot or quick type of meals.
