I'd be so much skinnier if I was a SAHM.

The way my days off worked out this weekend, I had Thurs Fri, Sat, Mon and Tuesday off! I went to the gym every morning! I'm so bummed that tomorrow I'll be up at 5 to feed LO, get ready for work, work all day, get home at 5 and between dinner, chores, tubby and bedtime.. I wont get to go! And I have to do that for the next 8 days straight! Hopefully I'll get to go Friday night since DH isnt working and will be able to watch her!

Ha! I SAH and am not skinnier. I choose to spend my little free time either napping with DD, eating, or bumping!

Ditto PP, SAHM and I have gained weight, lol.  I don't have anyone to watch LO for me to go to the gym and unfortunately because I SAH we don't have the money for a gym that provides daycare, lol.

Aww, I'm in the same boat. DH and I work opposite shifts so I only get to go when he's home to watch her. Our gym is a 1 treadmill, 1 elliptical and a bench! But I figure its better than nothing!

Is there a gym in your community?  I am sooooo jealous, that is the one thing I dislike about our condo community!

When I worked/go back to work, I pack a lunch (fruit! yogurt! water!) and eat it. 

Today at home: lunch was pancakes (snow = no grocery store trip, but luckily we had pancake mix! )...oh, chocolate chip pancakes at that, and a flat glass of Diet Dr. Pepper.

LOL, now I want chocolate chip pancakes.  You know they say that you lose more weight by eating and healthy, than you do if you skip meals, that is my problem, I skip meals and I think that is why I gain so much weight!

yeah, like pp, i think i would have gained a ton of weight if i were a SAHM.  i didn't start losing weight until i went back to work.  too much temptation at home.  food everywhere.

I mostly SAH but I haven't lost any weight. The two days a week that I work, I make much healthier choices. When I'm at home , I eat terribly. I think the only thing keeping me from getting bigger is baby bootcamp.

I think I would be skinnier if I was a SAHM too.  My problem isn't not being able to work out (although I could do a better job at getting to the gym).  My problem is the food options at work.  I work as a nurse practitioner in a really busy ICU.  Between the nurses ordering out, patient family's bringing in goodies, and drug reps bringing food in, I end up snacking on crap all day long.  When I am home I make much better choices.
