Hey Diane. Sounds like you're trying to do too much! If I were you, I would keep doing your weights workouts and cut out the HIIT / hill sprints. Just sub some nice EASY walking to burn some extra calories where you feel up to it. Trying to do uber weights workouts, dieting, HIIT, family stuff can add up to just too damn much. Plus, you have 5x the number of kids I do and I'm friggin exhausted!
Oh, do you ever use bands for assisted chins? I found they were really helpful in helping me work up to unassisted chins. And another thing, do you supplement w/Magnesium at all? I take it at night and it makes me sleepy like the dead.
Rock on...
