I think that you will have to do little things first- pack healthy lunches, take stairs, park far away at the store, do sit-ups (or whatever) as you're playing with the baby, etc. SO much easier said than done, but it IS DOABLE. GOOD LUCK!!! You are a strong mama!! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7333103912891249201.post-85929132576372382312010-08-16T10:03:08.051-05:002010-08-16T10:03:08.051-05:00My husband has a CPAP machine for sleep apnea.

I remember when my husband first got his, all he wanted to do was sleep for a few days to catch up on rest. He was like a new man. Good luck getting a diagnosis. From what he told me, the sleep study is weird, but not that bad.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08961948894847619115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7333103912891249201.post-13439683961167653662010-08-05T15:16:17.957-05:002010-08-05T15:16:17.957-05:00GO HOLLIE GO!!!

It's just so hard trying to juggle everything, its easy to put ourselves last.<br />Just keep reminding yourself that what you're doing is for your little man, too! You can't care for him if you're not taking care of yourself.<br />Big ((hugs)) to you, mama!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7333103912891249201.post-36322221643663088622010-08-03T05:15:19.145-05:002010-08-03T05:15:19.145-05:00I'm in the same position as you!!!

I don't work full day but I still don't have enough time to exercise or do half the things I want to do. Right now the only exercise I get is a quick walk around the block with Ava.<br />Someway we'll find the answer!!!The Blessed Barrennesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00705483551013268275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7333103912891249201.post-46739147431843213422010-08-02T22:04:36.111-05:002010-08-02T22:04:36.111-05:00I'm in the same boat with my weight.

I had dropped after birth too, but two kids and it's back up. Ugh.

I used to would work out at lunch...I had an hour lunch and my company had a fitness room.<br /><br />However, I am now working on at a new company, so the lunch time work out is out...<br /><br />So, now I tend to wake up earlier and work out 30-40 mins. in the morning (on my stationary bike and portable stepper); I do this five days a week; then I have a Wii Fit that does help...I do that 10 - 15 mins. at night after the kids are to bed (usually 2-3 nights a week).<br /><br />Frankly, any time you can carve out is good--they say its the accumlation that helps -- so, say you can do 10 mins. in the morning, 10 mins. at lunch; 10 mins. in the evening...<br /><br />Its hard, but it can be done! :-)Delennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12567889031642608101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7333103912891249201.post-5431852200140405232010-08-02T20:32:04.263-05:002010-08-02T20:32:04.263-05:00Thinking of you as you meet this challenges head o...Thinking of you as you meet this challenges head on.

I too dropped the weight that first month, but stress and PCOS over the last 6 months has put a lot back on. I also have had success in the past with Weight Watchers IF I go to the meetings. That's a big IF. I'm looking forward to the fall so I can go walking and not die in the heat. <br /><br />Sorry, I didn't really have any advice, but just know you are not alone in this struggle.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7333103912891249201.post-47988405312289631862010-08-02T14:03:58.721-05:002010-08-02T14:03:58.721-05:00As someone who has always struggled with her weigh...As someone who has always struggled with her weight, I now how hard it is. And now that I am pregnant again without having lost most of the weight from baby number 1, it is really depressing. Is there any way you can find a workout buddy or someone to hold you accountable? Weight watchers is really the only thing that has consistently worked for me because it was like a game I could play and facing the scale every week kept me honest. Good luck!Mommy Shoeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13625055463883932900noreply@blogger.com
