Time for the next chapter

So now that we have been trying for a baby for a year with no success, it's time to move forward. We are beyond blessed with the 2 crazy little monkeys that we have and although we would be happy with a 3rd blessing, we are getting settled as a family of 4.
My hubby and I haven't had "the talk" yet about who is going to take things to the next level of protection. I don't know if I want to go for yet another surgery. I guess we will see.
Now I can fully focus on my health. It has been going in a downward spiral for quite some time now and all the work I did with WW is going down the tubes. I have to take charge of my health now.
Eating - I try my best to eat healthy. We don't buy processed foods and rarely go out to eat. My problem is the amount I eat. And the lack of fruits and vegetables. So I have to change my meal plans to incorporate more. And make a point of not eating too much.
Exercise - this is a big part of my problem. I have such a problem finding the time to do it. With my DH gone and very busy kids, when the kids go to bed, I'm done. Like so done. So I have to figure out how I can get some time in to exercise without adding a price to it. I have a treadmill, so I just need to get down while the kids are asleep or something. I can't put my son in casual care as it will cost me money. Money we don't have.
** update **
I will be doing Day 2 of Week 2 from the Ease into 5K app on Wednesday. With my hubby home for the next month, I'm taking advantage and working out in the morning before he leaves for work. I'm not sure what will happen in the new year but for now, this is it. If the kids slept, I could exercise before they wake up. But my kids are up at like 5am, so that's a no go. I'm also going to try and incorporate some weights twice a week. At least for now.
