I would definitely have to say that the biggest challenge to regular exercise and a healthy diet would be SCHEDULE. I work 11-8 Monday through Friday so by the time I get home I eat, work on school and then to bed I go. Ever since I have gone on this schedule we have not had time to walk or workout. Who would want to get up at 5AM to go walking-not me? That is what would have to be done during the week if we wanted to exercise. On the weekends, we are always busy so we have no time to exercise. Eating healthy doesn't come easy. I basically grew up on fast food, so I am used to eating it now. My husband cooks but there are days he comes home after messing with kids all day that he does not want to cook.
Well now that I got a new position with better hours we will be walking or working out (on our Bo-Flex). I will have to help my husband cook now that I am home a lot earlier than 8. We will cut out sodas and sweets (not cold turkey quit). There will be a lot of changes here starting the last week in March and will be carried out forever! This will be a big and great change not just for me but for both of us. We both need to make this a big part of our life due to we do not want to be obese or have heart/health conditions at a young age. I cannot wait to start all of this.

I feel your pain with balancing your life and children. I just recently had my fist child (boy, he is currently 3 months old and all of my free time is alloted to him. Alot of emphasis is put on loosing weight after you have children which make exercising regularly even more difficult.
