Need Motivation...

christina8091

I really need to start exercising, but I can't seem to find the motivation.

I am a full time working mom.  By the time I get home at 5:30, make dinner, feed the baby, clean up, play, bathe and put the baby to bed, I have no drive to go exercise, plus it is already 9ish and I am ready for bed!  The morning time seems to be the only time I will be able to exercise.  However, I can't seem to get my butt outta bed extra early.

I do have a husband, that will take care of the baby in the evening, but I have such limited time with her because I am at work all day, I don't want to miss out.....

Help! Any tips?

I would either try getting up early to do it (start out with a small goal, like saying you'll get up early 2 days a week, then go from there) OR I would just let baby hang out with your DH for at least 30 minutes a night so you can do it then -- I know you want to spend time with your LO, but you deserve 30 minutes of "you" time to exercise and be healthy...  there's no shame in that.  Good luck!

Maybe you can find a Stroller Strides in your area? Or, like PP said, just take 30 mins for yourself.  If you hit the intensity right, 30 minutes is all you need.
