Same song, different verse...
I am with you on that one. For the last month, I have made myself get up an extra hour early while my husband is still home with the kids, go walking around the neighborhood for 30 min. I also changed my diet. When my family is eating a 4 course meal I cooked, I just sit there with my healthy frozen dinner and enjoy the conversation more than the food. I eat slower, and turns out, I am not as hungry as I thought. I also drink a LOT of water every day. I am a size 16/18 and have that spare tire around the hips, with a bicycle tube on top of it (aka... the roll) It took a couple weeks to notice some difference, but I am finally fitting into my "tight" clothes with ease now. My best friend lives 4 houses down, so she makes me get up in the mornings, and I pay her back by making her walk as a very fast pace. It has helped with more than my size though. After I get back, I am awake, feel great, so I get my last minute house cleaning done before I go to work and am able to actually fix breakfast for the kids instead of cereal every day. Then, I feel great, and go to work. My attitude is better too I think.
Guess what I am saying is get a plan that can work, and MAKE yourself do it. Anything is better than nothing. If you cant leave the house, get a workout video or something. Ride a bike if you like that. Just get going for 30 min a day.
Good Luck, I hope you find yourself one hot momma in a couple months. (I hope I will be too)
