I was supposed to start the Kayla Itsines program on January 1st, and I have yet to work out a day in 2015. Also lots of birthdays, my mom visiting, too cold, etc. and I've been eating too much lately.
Just finding it really hard to motivate! It's hard enough just to get out of bed in the morning. Anyone else in the same boat?

I am doing great with exercise - I mark it on the calendar and DH watches the kids while I go (7-8pm)
Eating? Not so well! Sometimes I am so good with moderating the bad stuff but lately I am eating all the crap!!!
I really need to fix it but my cravings are so strong right now

Exercise I'm good with. It is -- and has always been -- diet that really trips me up.

Yep. I'm finding it really hard and it's stressing me out and affecting my moods and temper and happiness and pant size!
I'm not liking it, but what do you cut out when there are other, really important, priorities?

@Mrs. Bee: Me me me!
I know I need to be eating healthier and being more active, but I'm just SO unmotivated to do so. I did join a workout class and I was at least working out twice a week, but that's ended and I didn't sign up for the next session.
I have a 'gym' in my basement with all of the equipment I need and videos to follow, but I just can't seem to drag myself down there.
I keep saying I'll start, but I haven't yet.
I would like to be in better shape for TTC, just can't find the motivation!

I'm 4 mo pp and I can't even foresee when exerciser can become a thing again! I barely have time to do anything else!

The hardest part for me is getting out of bed in the morning. In order for the gym to work with my schedule i have to go at 5:45 am, so I get out of bed at 5:15. Once I am there it is great, but getting up is a different story.

Yep!
I'm not dieting, but I usually work out at night and this pregnancy has me pooped at night time! I'm trying to switch up my routine and go during lunch time on my WFH days. Haven't made the adjustment yet! I think I've worked out twice in the last two months! But, it's finally warming up so I'm telling myself to get out there!

I'm having trouble being motivated lately. Especially with six weeks to go.

Having trouble with both. Although I went to a yoga retreat 2 weekends ago and felt AMAZING doing yoga 4 hours a day, eating vegan food and cutting out alcohol. If only that were practical for real life!
I do try to work out on my lunch break during the week, but it's not always easy.

With regards to motivating myself, dieting is harder for me than working out - my husband loves sweets and if they are around the house, I have a hard time not eating them. He can eat anything and stay the size of a tooth pick - if I started to eat like he does , I would gain 20 plus pounds.
I am motivated to exercise but it is still hard to find the time to do it sometimes.

I'm on week 8 of Kayla and love it. It's he only program I've been able to keep up with (haven't missed a workout, knock on wood) because it's short. I have a friend doing it with me which really helps. But my daughter is 17 months and it's really the first program I've done. The timing has to be right for you to commit, and the program. Don't commit to 12 weeks, tell yourself you'll do one week to try it, and don't let yourself skimp on that week. If you hate it after a week, tell yourself you don't have to do it again.
Now eating, I really need tips. I have a huge sweet tooth and the moment I say I'm going to eat less sugar, I eat ALL the dessert. I really need help here.

I'm having a really tough time getting back in to jogging. I know my husband would watch lo if I asked but she's so attached to me I just can't picture leaving her...

This is why I can't do planned exercise... I just know I'll keep putting it off. I try to incorporate it into daily life by walking, taking the stairs etc. Probably not nearly enough, but hey.

I'm doing okay with the diet aspect -- as it doesn't take a whole lot more time. I'm a little less successful with exercising. Maternity leave ends on Wednesday, so I can imagine fitting it in will just get harder.
