[quote=Anonymous]It's so, so hard, and I'm sure you're doing the best you possibly can. Finding time for yourself is like trying to squeeze water out of a rock. So I'll just make two small suggestions that may be helpful or may be totally ridiculous for you. Meditate or pray or just breathe for even five minutes a day. It's good for your mental health, which I think translates to your physical health as well. Capitalize on fun time with your kids as exercise time. If you could run as many circles around the playground as your preschooler can, you'd probably feel better about your physical fitness. So, use that playground time for your own benefit. Chase them for fun. Kick a soccer ball around. Roll down a hill. Do jumping jacks with them. Race your preschooler. Personally, I find it *so easy* to sit and look at my phone at the playground, but what a wasted opportunity for exercise. What you're describing sounds very familiar. It's hard for all of us.[/quote]
