I would just like to remind you to remember who you are and that you have needs, too. It is easy to get caught up in being mom and forget what we need! I don't know how old your children are, but I found a book years ago that had exercises I could do with the kids when they were toddlers and they thought we were just playing around! Try checking into those type of exercises for when they are awake. If they are still taking naps, if your not taking one, too, maybe you could have some "me" time to exercise and treat yourself to tea or something enjoyable and health friendly!

I gots about forty more pounds on you unless you count your kids weight too, then we're probably same same. I hava a two year old girl, but she's light as a feather (not my genes:))Anywho, I wish you lots o luck and so far from what I've been seeing, really supportive lively community. Oh yeah, advice...ummm....even if you never have time to read them, keep inspiring books around the house. those books will passively allure you one day or nag you to read them and you'll feel better for it.
