I am trying to get myself back into shape, not for looks so much, although muscle would be nice, but because I am tired and cranky and I think exercise would help. BUT, I cannot figure out when I can fit it in. The closest gym with childcare is 25 minutes away!
I currently work at home 5 days a week, 8am-6/6:30pm. DS is with me MWF, and is in daycare 8:30-4:30 T, TH. DH works M-F and is gone 9-7:15/7:30. I have looked into taking some evening classes but DH's work schedule is so unpredictable as far as when he will get off. He is looking for a new job now with better hours, but for now we are stuck with him getting home later in the evening and then rushing through the dinner and a nighttime routine with DS.
Getting up at 6am to workout isn't going to happen, Ill say that now, I fully admit I am NOT a morning person. Especially with DS still rarely STTN and my poor ability to fall asleep. I could adjust my workload some so that I can workout at like 8:30/9 on T, TH when he is in daycare, but 2 days a week seems pretty weak.
So now I am looking at more classes, trying to manipulate my schedule, or even find stuff I can do at home. TBH Im not sure I will be good at keeping up with it at home, a class or gym I pay for will make me acountable.
So after all that When do you work out when you are trying to balance work and kids and a DH who is also working a bunch and keeping up with the house etc etc etc?
