I only have one baby who will be a year soon, and I no how difficult that is so I could not imagine another one so I can imagine how hard and wore out you are with you family.. Um something that did help me maybe it will help you is keeping track of your calories maybe try to go on a low calorie diet and try to get one walk in a night, they say walking is the best exercise and I no I always feel so much better plus that is something you can do as a family.. Good luch!!

Hey Meliss,
Welcome to this community. There are some great people here. Listen honey, about your post. I know having babies are hard (I have had 6. Three were 13 months apart!) And while raising them my husband's first wife gave up her children so I had two teenagers come live with us (yes 8 children). First I want to say that maybe you have to set your prorities in line. Clean house vs healthly mom and kids? You are in the best place to exercise. While taking the kids out for a walk play ball, run, go to the park. The weather is getting nice. Have a dance time with your boy when you can't go outside. All you need is 3 ten minutes dance times to get your daily workout. Get those 100 fun songs for toddlers and do some crazy dance hat includes jumping and stretching. I teach 2nd grade and that is how I have started doing it because I felt like I didn't have anytime to workout.
Start giving your son healthy foods now and he will grow up likeing it. Plan out the way you want him to go now while he is still trainable (they get more set in their ways the older they get)
Take one step at a time (this is the advice that I am getting. Small goals are more attainable then big ones. So work on eating three meals and two snacks a day (have a cooking day where you and your son make snacks). Watch the foods you eat and if you eat out make healthly choices. And if you slip up, so what just get back on your feet and keep going. Life doesn't stop because you ate that coconut creme pie and a liter cherry pepsi. Brush off and keep on trying. Remember, we are in the same boat. Lean on this community. Make friends and come often, they have a lot of good Ideas.

The above post was fantastic!!!!! I have a 8 month old and it is hard, but we do go to the park a lot and she loves it, we walk the mall as well if the weather is bad. It is not easy though, you do have to plan and make the right choices! My step son will not touch one fruit nor veggie, I plan on making sure my little girl has the options to try EVERYTHING, even if I myself do not care for it! With that I find myself eating better, she wants what I have and she loves (for now) all the fruits and most the veggies! One day at a time, it is a marathon not a race, long time goals, short ones though, do it the healthy way! Best of luck to you!

I have to agree that was an amazing post, and I agree completely with every thing said. I have 3 girls of my own. I invested in a backpack carrier for the baby(1 year old) so we can have family walks on a wooded trail near my home its much easier than a stroller, (not to mention the extra weight gives a calorie burning boost) and gives us all time to catch up on our day, my 6 year old takes gymnastic classes we get up a half hour early a few times a week to stretch and do yoga together, and i practice soccer with my 10 year old. It all counts as exercise and i dont have to pay a gym membership. So live it up and have some fun, and i promise the kids will remember the ball games and the funny dances, and races around the yard alot longer than they will a hamper full of dirty clothes.
