moms - how do you find time

to exercise regularly? its so frustrating - i work & commute 3x per week and have a 6 month old so those days are shot for me. i have a treadmill and try to get on during her naps the other days but they are so inconsistent its getting difficult and i find that if/when i do get on its never more than 1-2x per week which isn't enough for weight loss. she goes to bed at 9:30 and by then i'm just TOO tired and still washing bottles, etc... thanks for letting me vent

Re: moms - how do you find time

Actually - I have been getting up earlier than everyone else - I get up at 5:30 am just so that I can do the treadmill for an hour before I have to get in the shower for work.

I also am a member of curves - and I fit that in on my lunch hour.

Re: moms - how do you find time

i always take a walk during my lunch hour at work if i can get out.

i am in an apt. (and treadmill is literally behind the crib's wall) and i don't want to wake her which gives me the before/after she goes to sleep problem. Now, i try to get on when DH is around but since we swap schedules to watch her that's not to often . i give you alot of credit for doing it. i feel like i'm just starting to get caught up from the sleep deprivation

Re: moms - how do you find time

Yeah, my treadmill is in the basement and my little ones are in bed by 8:00 - so I am lucky in that way. They are also 2 1/2.

Believe me - I know sleep deprivation!!!!! It does get better though - at least you are out there walking during lunch - thats something!

Re: moms - how do you find time

thank you! am hoping now that nicer weather is here i can do more stroller walking at least its something for now

Re: moms - how do you find time

I wake up before DD and run for 30 minutes.

Re: moms - how do you find time

During my lunch at work. I make sure I take my lunch hour (Ok, sometimes more than an hour ) and go 4 - 5 days a week. I also jog one day on the weekends after DS goes to bed.

Re: moms - how do you find time

I am blessed to have an early sleeper (7:00/7:30). I also walk at least 3x a week on my lunch break. I often work out at home on those nights as well.

Re: moms - how do you find time

We will take 2-3 walks a day.

Mine use to HATE the stroller, now, Thank God, he loves it.

Sometimes we hit 10 miles in a day of just walking. I pack a lunch for him and break it up.

3 days a week, I run to the gym, strictly for weight lifting. It takes about 25 minutes.

at night is sit ups.

naptime is tae bo or resistance training.

just do a little here and there and it will add up.

Re: moms - how do you find time

when DD is napping or at night when she goes to sleep

Re: moms - how do you find time

I go to the gym after work (at 4:00). If DH isn't traveling, he picks Jackson up at daycare. If DH IS traveling, then I have to make sure that I leave the gym early enough to go get Jackson. DH has been traveling a LOT lately, but somehow I still manage to get to the gym regularly.
I feel like supermom lately

You just have to do whatever it takes. It's not easy!

Re: moms - how do you find time

I bring DS to Jazzercise and use the daycare there.
