How do you find time?

posted 4th Nov
So I am currently two weeks post partum and I had gained 40 pounds with my daughter...I have about 13-15 more to lose but I also want to tone up like I was before I was pregnant...Not body builder babe but not flabby either..

My question is for those currently in the midst of their weight loss journey...If you stay home, where and how do you find the time to work out? How many days a week do you work out? Is it a huge challenge?

I am just curious as to where to to begin..

Thank you all so much

I dont stay home, I work a full time job 8-5. I have 2 kids 5 and 9 months. The only time that I found to work out comfortably with no distractions was before either of them were awake in the morning. I wake up at 530 every morning (except weekends) and do at least 30 minutes on the treadmill.
Maybe you can find time for a quick workout while your LO is taking a nap?

I work out every day. During the girls naps, in front of my computer. (which I'm about to do right now)

And when SO is off, I double my workouts. I go here. http://www.exercisetv.tv

i do it any time really. with the boys being older they like to do it with me. i will just get up and do 100 jumping jacks (the boys just jump) or ill turn on music and dance. or ill bounce them on my legs or ill do pushups as they climb over me. when they nap (i will be doing this in like 10 min) i go out the the garage and box for about 30 min. we chase wach other around all day. i do sit ups when they go to bed at night. i have lost more than 30 lbs

ok...totally not a mom to give advice...but things i know/have heard:
some gyms have child care, or allow you to keep your stroller by the treadmill/eliptical. and some have tracks you can walk around with your stroller. also, if you breastfeed...you might want to use back up milk you have (frozen or whatever) after you are done working out because i guess the taste is different? something like that. at least it is info to get you started.

wow..thank you all for the feedback...motivation is there and it is something that i was used to doing before i was pregnant..now it is a matter of finding the time since we have yet to have any sort of schedule with the girl....

with the forty pound weight gain, i am actually fairly shocked at my body's ability to go back to normal for the most part..

I workout @ least 4 days a week, in a gym because I'm no good with working out at home..

After the first few weeks you get so used to it, almost addicted. So generally, I like going. It's only been 3 months but I'm seeing excellent progress in my toning.

As far as finding the time, I usually go at night while my husband is home. I go to one day class a week but I have a nanny so for me it's easier done.

I should be cleared to work out in about two weeks and i plan on going to the gym on base at night, after patrick gets home from work. I'll have to pump so he can feed her.
