I am struggling because there are so many lifestyle factors making it sooo difficult.

I guess some is part laziness, but the laziness comes from lack of time. The lack of time comes from prioritising family time first, and yet I know that if I want the best out of family time I need to be fit and healthy. How to do both?

I guess I should say it's not really lack of commitment, more so lack of ability to commit.


I work full time and I am on my feet all day so I find it hard to negotiate exercise into my daily routine when if it is before work it exhausts me, and of it is after I am already exhausted.

We bought a season pass to the local pool, and while not doing lapsas I am both unfit and an unskilled/uncoordinated swimmer, I am getting some exercise out of it. We have a cross trainer at home as well.

What I find difficult is having no routine... my work roster is unpredictable. At the moment most shifts are 3-11 but I find it hard to maintain a routine when it changes. Also I am nto good at taking dinner to work and not a fan of reheated meals, so I am either eating crap or not eating at all.

And then on morning shifts i dont have time for breakfast.

the one thing I am good at is drinking water and I tend to drink 2-3 litres oon shift, not including at home. A headache is the first sign of not enough so I am always chugging it down.

I have the number of two BB girls thinking having some other people to bust my arse would help but I haven't had time to text them or reply. I just need more time!

I know this is a bit of a non-sensical ramble (in a hurry, work in 20 mins), but does anyone have any hints, tips or experiences to help me out?

ETA: And can anyone tell me WHY??? is all the centimetres coming off my hips and nowhere else. I hardly got hips when pregnant it's the last place I need to lose from right now. My pants won't stay up any more So now my baby belly is lookinh even more disproportionate!
