S U P E R M O M!! Seriously I don’t know where you find the motivation with THREE young boys!! I definitely understand wanting to get your workout over and done with in the morning though! Do all your boys sleep through the night? We just barely got there with Shane a few months ago so I’m enjoying “sleeping in” until 6 hahaha. Keep up the great work!!!

You will get at it before you know it! It’s hard when they are so little and when you are nursing. I felt like both boys were always attached to me and just had no motivation to workout since I was up all night with them! I’m sure you are going through the same thing right now. You’ve always been so active and outdoorsy, you’ll find your groove again! You’re just too busy being an awesome mom that’s all!

The amount of grammatical errors in my previous post speak to my resent lack of sleep — enjoy the day!

I know I is early but I do try to get up before my boys and work out –4:30/ 5 am—– with three boys four and under the only way I can guarantee a work out is in the morning. Plus I find that if I don’t get a run in first thing I am anxious the rest of the day because I am worried I won’t get my run in

Oh man, right now I’m feeling like I will never be able to workout again! Maybe on the weekends? The breastfeeding is good for calorie burning but nothing feels as good as a long run by myself.

I hate the gym with passion. I am an outdoorsey person and love to exercise outside. But after years of inconsistant workouts ( a run here and a bike ride there and I am so sorry honey but can I please nip out for a…) I gave in and joined the local gym that has a kids room. I aim for an hour a day and try to do classes more then actual workouts but I did get a trainer to make me a plan that optimizes the time I spend on the machines. My son actually loves going to the kids room and playing with his peers. I try not to take him everyday so it still feels like a ‘treat’. I am learning to like the elliptical ( we don’t have cable so I catch up on CSI) and I even lifted weights the other day! I have also met a lot of local people I never would have as a stay at home mom and scored some great bookings for my business.
Check if you have a nice local gym around.

I usually get up and workout before my kids wake up. Otherwise, I try to talk myself out of it.

Love your playlist. Have so many of the same songs on mine.

I wish I could Jess but Shane is a human garbage disposal. He eats and eats and eats and screams between bites because he wants more lol. Lunchtime is a complete blur! I literally run back and forth from the fridge to the counter cutting up more stuff so I guess that’s a bit of a workout lol

Have you tried working out while they are eating lunch? I don’t know about your kiddos but Ella takes an hour plus to finish any meal.

You know Lindsay that’s a great idea and exactly what I’m going to start doing on Nathan’s school days. I’m so thrown off by Shane’s awful napping that didn’t even come to mind as a solution. Tomorrow you’re coming to the gym with me little buddy! Lol
