OH MY GOODNESSSSS! Your babies are adorable! I'm looking forward to seeing them on my dash! As for tips... it's hard -really hard- to make time to get to a gym, so I just don't even kid myself by getting a membership. I stopped buying junkfood... if it's not at home, I won't eat it! I frequently snack on carrots or store bought edamame. I eat tons of salad and turkey sandwiches, which is fine with me and not really a sacrifice bc I LOVE both. Since summer's rolling around, I try to get a good swim in as much as possible. It doesn't take long to swim 25 laps, so it's not like you have to get a sitter for long. I also ride my bike, but that would be hard since you have the two boys. You could probably just substitute it with a stroll... plus, they would love it! Anyways, mainly food. Just don't eat junk. I don't eat fastfood- EVER. The closest thing to fastfood that I eat would be Subway- skip the sauce and cheese though if you're really looking to cut back. You seem pretty fit to me, so I think just a few minor adjustments in your everyday routine would give you the results you're looking for. Since you don't have a whole lot of body fat, I wouldn't expect any immediate results... Like I said, just make minor adjustments to your eating habits and get it a little exercise everyday. Sweating a bit will make you feel great! Oh, also, don't ever skip breakfast! I usually eat 2 packs of oatmeal made with milk mixed with 1 packet of splenda. I have a small cup of 100% juice and then my coffee. Between breakfast and lunch, I'll have an apple or some sort of fruit. I hope this helps a little. I'm sort of just rambling so please pardon my lack of organization. My thoughts are just free flowing at the moment, lol. Good luck! -Z

i tried to find your ask on your page but i didn’t see one, i’m probably just being an idiot.  thank you so much for the tips!  i am actually doing pretty well with staying motivated to exercise- i have an elliptical, i walk with the boys, do a pilates or jillian michaels video.  my problem is definitely food.  i cannot stop eating crappy food!  i have such a sweet tooth, and i definitely eat when i’m bored and that makes for a really bad combination.  hopefully some willpower will kick in sometime soon, because i really cannot stand that my ass seems to be growing as opposed to shrinking!  argh.
