Danny,
I feel you. I think for me that when I start trying to take control of my eating habits and exercise it sort of becomes my focus for a while. I have trouble creating a middle ground where I pay attention to taking care of my body and spend enough quality time with my son & husband. It's definitely a balancing act.

It is hard to find time to get healthy food together when you have a baby. But you need to think of more as a lifestyle change than a 'diet.' I try to make sure that I 'prep' things when I get home from the grocery store. For exaple I wash the fruit and cut up the veggies, that way you have no excuses for easy to grab things, I also keep a few frozen 'healthy' dinners in the freezer just in case baby has a fussy day and I end up having to pack him around all day. I also know that I am not the only one that hate salad! lol, I think what I hate the most is preparing it so I try to make a medium sized salad right when I am home from the store with all of my favorite things that way I have no excuses for not getting my veggies in for the day. If you try to take 15 minutes, either when baby is napping or after baby goes to bed that will give you ample time to prep the for the following day. hope that helps a little.
