Working mom how to you find the time......
With the summer approaching I need to get my butt in gear and lose some weight. How do you find the time to exercise? After working, cooking dinner, getting organized for the next day when DS goes to bed I am ready for bed.

Re: Working mom how to you find the time......
It is so hard for me now because DH gets home so late, I used to go out and run after the boys are down, so after I pick them upa t my inlaws, I give them play time and then they eat dinner and I take them for a stroll in the stroller and I push them pretty fast, sometimes I will do a light jog, and they LOVE being in the stroller.
Can you take Christopher out for a long walk?

It's hard and I'm insane, but I actually do go to the gym at 10-11pm! I know I'm nuts!  But I "need" to work out!!!

Re: Working mom how to you find the time......
I don't. 
That's why my thighs & tummy are flabby.
Sometimes I can make it onto the elliptical at night after the baby's in bed and dinner is done, straightening up is done, etc. I've hopped on it as late as 10pm. 
What I'd love to do is get up 1/2 hr before Jake each weekday and squeeze in a work out in the AM. THAT would be great. But that means getting up at about 5:45am...

Re: Working mom how to you find the time......
Lately I've been excercising about 5:30ish, followed by folding laundry, making lunches & getting me & everyone dressed & out of the house.
It's not exactly a long workout but I figure it's better than the nothing I was doing.
Also eating the right proportions helps & never eat off your child's plate. You're better off sharing your plate with him than adding extra food to your meal.

Lunchtime - at my job I have to take an hour lunch so I either go to the gym in our building, or take a long walk outside

Re: Working mom how to you find the time......
The only thing I find time to do is walk at lunch hour and sometimes dh and I will take dd for a walk in the evening...I do try and keep our weekends very active with a lot of walking to balance out the lack of activity during the week.

I was hoping to start to take him for walks when I got home when the weather got nice but that still hasn’t happened.

Re: Working mom how to you find the time......
I had been getting up at 5:15 to work out but it must have caught up with me because lately I just can't do it. Ds was sick and now is teething and I need every extra minute of sleep I can get!
