Success after IF

Working out - how do you fit it in?

I mean unless I add 2 hours to the day, I just don't have enough time to fit in a work out.  I get up at 5-530 ish and leave the house about 6ish and get home by 3 (teacher) and my MIL watches them during the day so it's not like I can ask her to hang around while I go down on the treadmill.  And by the time they go to bed I still have to eat dinner and I'm just so exhausted that I can't think about it.  How do you fit in working out?  They are just waking up from their nap when I get in (how conveneient for MIL right??) so I dont even have aminute when I get home (and as I write this Jack is pulling on the screen of my laptop)..... I've lost 14 lbs recently really watching my diet, but it's only a matter of time before diet alone stops working and I need to add in exercise again.  Any suggestions???

Re: Working out - how do you fit it in?

  • I have no suggestions!  I can't imagine trying to work full time, have twins and workout.   I'm sorry!
    Married on 3.20.2004. It took 30 month, 2 failed adoptions and IVF for our first miracle. We have had 9 foster kids since he was born and started the domestic adoption process when he was 10 month old, we had 4 failed matches in that time. After our daughter was born we brought her home and spent 2 weeks fearing we might lose her because of complications that came up. But Praise God all went through and she is ours forever!

  • My standard answer is to go in the morning - I go at 5:30 a.m. - but I don't think that will work for you. I think sometimes you just have to put exercise on the back burner knowing you'll pick it up in the future when things calm down a little. Maybe when the weather is warmer and you can take the babies out for walks and incorporate some exercise that way.
  • I've been wondering the same thing. I restarted my gym pass for Christmas & have been wondering when I am ever going to use it. Weekends? Maybe?

  • DH and I are forcing ourselves to do the 30 Day Shred right when we get home from work and picking up Stella from daycare.  Yesterday she slept while we exercised.  Not sure what will happen today, but hopefully she'll chill in her swing or on a blanket.  I'm guessing your boys are too mobile now for that to work. 

    I just know that if we don't do it right when we get home, it won't happen at all.  I used to be an early morning gym goer, but that is out the window now that I'm a mom and have to be to work by 7am. 

    It's not easy at all!  Best of luck.
