Cwolfman13 - I absolutely love that you and your wife support eachother so much in this area!! That is the ideal situation for anyone I think.

Okay.... seems like the majority of you feel as though mornings -really EARLLLLLYYYY mornings work best for busy fam life. I think I'll try that out, as well as trying to do a bit on my breaks. Thanks again everyone. This has been so helpful :smiley:

Dang Jasonsunlee! So late!!! I.WOULD.DIE. but I'm glad that works for you. What time do you get up in the mornings??

Nice balance andylll. I admire that. I think balance is essentially what I'm aiming for. Work is ... well, work. My family is top priority though and I hate cutting into that time. I love the idea of running while they bike. Excellent! We also do a lot of active family things, but I'm finding that as my kids are both…

I hear ya Kelly0519. Same. These responses are very inspiring.

I do actually stay very active throughout the day. I dance, climb, play sports, etc with them. I also do active things with my own children - sports, biking, swimming, dancing, wrestling and the list goes on. Lots of naturally occurring cardio in my life. Truly. Though I love to run, what i really want right now is to work…

DAMN. You guys are Killin' it! Thank you so much. This is incredibly motivating!

That's fantastic advice Joanna2012B. I actually work with children too, so this applies even more. You are absolutely right - it doesn't have to be fancy. I need to make use of the quiet moments in my life, even if I can just fit in a few minutes of some simple exercises.

Wow! I'm quite sure I'd be a zombie on that little sleep. You're awesome.

Jemhh - I find your post most relatable. My husband works long hours and commutes to the city. I also work long hours, but I run my own business from home. I do the majority of the planning/parenting/meals/taxi driving/etc throughout the work week. I like that you plan so well in advance. I think that would help so much -…

I like your attitude _dracarys_ .... 'I make it a priority, just like my job.' I like that message a lot. It seems so final - your mind is made up and nothings going to change it.

Wow.... okay. You early risers - what time do you go to bed at night?
