Did this happen to you when you moved in with DH??

After you moved in with your DH, did you find that you had a hard time getting into your usual routine of working out, or hobbies that you did before you moved?

Since I moved so many things have fallen into the background. Like doing my yoga and my exercise tapes, and mostly my crafting and stitching. It seems like I had such a routine for myself, and now with a whole new environment and new schedule, it seems so hard to get started again.

Anyone else?

Yea, the time seems to fly faster I think. Just chatting or watching tv eats up a lot of time.

Yes, absolutely. I'm not a tv person but he's content to sit in front of it for a few hours, so I find myself sitting around more than I ever did when I lived at home just to be with him, even if I'm reading while he's watching something.

I guess it happens because you have to consider your DH much more now when you plan your free time.

Yes, I don't know where my time goes but I know I don't have enough of it sometimes.

Yes!!!! I can't seem to get to the gym or catch up with all the things I like to do. I made a promise to myself that I would return to the gym and make time for 'me'.

Definitely. Seems like there's never enough time for myself anymore.

I can totally identify with you - we're married 9 months and I am finally getting my old routine back - at times I had to remind myself to make the effort to get motivated to do my own thing. Its so easy to slip into a new lazier lifestyle

it happened when FH and I moved in.

I never ate dinner after work. Just a small snack. But he cooks and he cooks really well so of course after work I was eating a full meal.

Ugh did not help in the weight department!

And then I felt bad about leaving to go work out or coming home late from the gym so there I was eating more, not working out....voila.....gained 3 dress sizes. Lovely!

And I find it hard to clean because every room I go to clean, he's in it! I give up!

Oh yes.

I seem to be always in the house cleaning- and going to the supermarket. I feel like that is all I do.

definitely, b/c now you have to shop more, cook and clean
when I lived at home I had more time b/c I would always have my moms cooking or bring in and went to the gym a lot more
now I just have more to do

When I was first married, I was just so happy to go home and see my hubby, that I would slack off on my gym time, then I did not like the results so that got my focus back to where it needed to be.

I felt this happened to me too when I first moved in. There was alot more responsiblity than living at home. I guess it takes a bit of time to get a system of when and how to fit things in that works best for you. You will, dont worry!
