What part of AZ do you live in? 24hr fitness has I think 8 clubs in AZ? The best part about 24hr fitness is that they will watch your kids while you workout. That to me would be worth the drive out there, plus the kids usually have a blast in the little playroom.

Unless I'm mistaken, don't 1 year olds take naps? What about the 4 year old? Could you put them both down for a nap while you do your treadmill or even do it before/after they go to bed?

The other option would be to buy one of those double seated exercise strollers and you could push them both while you walk. It'd going to be cooling down in AZ in the near future, so you could probably start walking early in the morning in the next couple weeks.

Just brain storming here.


If you are looking to lose weight on your own, we would be more than happy to help you along the way!! We've had numerous people decided to go the natural weight loss route after a lot of failed attempts and be able to pull it off with our support group.
Oh I know there is alot of ways to start exercising. I just have to get my lazy butt up and get going. There is a 24 hour fitness about 30 minutes away and I think its time for my one year old to go in the playroom...before I couldnt leave him...call me overprotective. My daughter goes to Montessori from 8:30 to 12opm so I could go around 9am and do my workouts.
Yes I cannot wait for Fall. I know I can get out and walk down the Blvd with my little one after my 4 yr old goes to school. I did that before it got insanely hot.
From being on this board....I've decided to lose weight naturally...I just cannot get comfortable going under when I need more will power to do it on my own.
Plus...I am ashamed to say this. I smoke. I desperately need to quit and I am trying everyday to get my hubby to quit with me. I practically beg him every single day. I cannot quit when he is smoking all day long.

**sigh**
