I'm not trying to find excuses to not exercise (I realize I probably am though, which is why I'm posting this), it's just soooo hard to find the time. This is my day:
4:30am wake up, take a shower, get dressed, my husband and I make lunches, breakfasts, get the baby ready, bag packed and out the door by 6am.
6:30 drop the baby off at my moms (who takes him to daycare at 8am).
7am-3:30am work
4- 4:15pm get to daycare to pick up my love and leave by about 4:30pm.
Get home at 5-ish (usually I try to make dinner the night before) heat up dinner, wash bottles, set the table, spend time with my love.
5:30pm hubby usually gets home by this time and we eat dinner.
6pm dinner is usually done. I clean up the kitchen, wash dishes and start getting food together to cook the following nights dinner.
7pm AJ's bath time and try to have him in bed by 8-8:30pm, depending on how hard he fights it.
8- 8:30pm Start preparing dinner for the following night and usually finish around 9:30 or so.
I tried to use the time while dinner is cooking, or afterward to work out in the living room but it's so hard with my husband there. Once, he actually sat on the couch with a bag of potato chips and was instructing me on how to properly perform a push up, while POINTING at me with a chip!!! Plus, our house is only 900 square feet and we only use 600 of it for living space (the other 300 is our basement which holds all of our crap and I REFUSE to go down there as there is no exit in the event of a fire). By 9:30pm, I am so tired, I can barely see straight!! I usually crash, without even washing my face or changing out of my work clothes (yep... rarely have a chance to pee after I get home, let alone change my clothes!!). I do HATE exercise... it bores me to death, so I realize I probably am being a little overly dramatic about the whole thing, but that's why I'm posting this, to see if anyone can see something that I'm not. Any help in this matter is greatly appreciated!!

). This adds about 20-30 minutes to my daily commute, but I don't have to find "extra" time to exercise.
