BEEN THERE AND DONE THAT!!! Oh my gosh, that is soooo frustrating! I'll tell you what I ended up doing when I was on phen 4 years ago after the birth of my son and the same thing happened to me...

I tried to workout in the evening, after hubby got home but by then I was wasted from taking care of the baby and house all day. The last thing I wanted to do was go lift anything heavier than my bed pillow. So I found out that the gym opened at 5 a.m. and that was when I went. Hubby was still asleep at home with the baby. I was home by 6:30 so he could leave for work at 7. It worked great.

I found that my body adjusted really quickly to getting up so early ( I know, that sounds like an unholy hour) and it got me energized for the day. Of course, at night I was in bed and snoring happily by 9 p.m. My late-night life came to a screeching halt. But I wanted to lose the weight so bad that it was worth whatever time/schedule adjustments I had to make.

I went from a size 14 (180 lbs) to a size 6 (125 lbs) in 5 months.

You do what you have to do. And, if my schedule doesn't work for you, then you do whatever you can. If it's 15 mins here and there, then make those 15 mins really count.

If it comes down to working out at home, I found that the best guidebooks are written by a WOMAN named Joyce Vedral. She is amazing. She has her before/after pics and her exercises are REALISTIC and SIMPLE. No equipment needed besides hand weights and your regular furniture.

Anyway, good luck to you, Whowhon!
