[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do Orangetheory every morning at 5am.  I’m back home by 6:15.  House starts moving around 6:30.

I cook dinner most nights.  Heavy on protein and low carb vegetables.  I’ll make a starch as a side dish. I make lunches for everyone as well

I work outside the home.[/quote]

Same - OTF 3-4 days a week, lift heavy weights at home 2-3 days, always at 5 a.m. Kids are 7 and almost 4. I used to try to work out at lunch, finish early and do it before daycare/school pickup, or save it for the weekends. Something would inevitably get in the way, or DH and I would be vying for the same time slot saturday/sunday. Now weekends are for family time, events, and house stuff. I never have to question when I'm going to squeeze something in. I go to bed a little earlier than I used to but no big deal.

I menu plan and meal prep on the weekends during my little one's naptime (this will shift soon as the nap is fading). Dinners are simple and lunches are salad + protein or leftovers (sandwiches for kids), we rotate about a dozen recipes during the workweek and maybe try more elaborate recipes or new things on the weekend. I do no added sugar, lower carb. Evenings one parent does bath and bed prep while the other cleans up dinner, packs lunches and preps for the next day.

It's all a habit now so it doesn't feel overwhelming, but it took a lot to get here! We still have off weeks due to sickness, work travel, school closings, etc. but we snap back to the regular routine as soon as we can.[/quote]
