Mums/moms who exercise - how do you find a balance?!
Question: Mums/moms who exercise - how do you find a balance!?
When I spent all my time looking after my kids, husband and the house I became overweight!. I finally did something about it and I've kept it off but it means sacrificing stuff!. When my husband gets home from work I go for a run while it's still light, but the kids end up with a pretty average dinner - or one that's very late!. If I do it during the day then that's cleaning or shopping or other things I can't get done!. I love feeling fit, I love being a good weight - but I think my family suffers for it!. So what do you do, and how do you fit your fitness time in!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'm a single mom and my daughter is two and a half so she definitely takes up my time, plus I work full time!. I get up about 4 am, and I'll do 30 minutes of cardio before she gets up, I bring my lunch and my boyfriend's lunch to work (we both work at the same place) and we'll walk on our lunch break (once around the outside of our building/parking lot is a mile) and usually we can get 2 miles in on lunch!. When I get home I start preparing dinner, get it all set to go into the oven, then I'll put it back in the fridge, and take my daughter out for another walk which is about a mile, some days 2 miles!. When I get back home, I take the prepared meal out of the fridge and pop it into the oven!. While dinner is cooking I can spend time reading or playing with her, and then by the time my boyfriend gets home about 5:30, voila, dinner's ready and we can all eat!.
Now granted I go to bed about 9pm because I get up early, but I find that with eating healthy, and fitting in that exercise throughout the day I can get it all in, and the rest of the family's happy too!
Perhaps if you prepared dinner, and got it all set to go before your run, your hubby could just pop it in the oven and let it cook while you're running!? :-) Hope that helped you out!Www@Answer-Health@Com
