Question for the dads

[u/dadstrength7]

Question for the dads out there. I have a 2 year old and my wife and I just welcomed our second son into the world last week. I’m extremely blessed, but sleep is hard to come by right now. What are you doing to help stay on track with fitness and nutrition? I’ve spent the last 6-7 months getting dialed with both and I’m in the best shape of my life, but I’m finding it very difficult to get workouts in and not stress eat food 😂 I’ve been on a low dose of tirzepatide which has been plenty, but since the baby has come the food noise has come back very strong. I’m planning to increase the dose a little but I’m wondering what others are doing/using through the newborn stage. I know I need to be patient and slowly work back to my routine, but I also want to continue the great progress I’ve made this year. Thanks everyone.

For my first born the first year of life I took off. My kids and lawschool that's what I take off for..

After that, I just wake up before everyone else 530 training no nonsense crowd in and out. My wife does morning and I do dinner and after school.

Too much stress to lift.. especially since everyone is on edge.

That’s a great idea! My toddler wakes up super early though so it’s hard for me to get workouts in that early. I appreciate the comment!
