How/when are you finding time to exercise?
With our schedules I can just cannot make it fit in consistently. I am so unhappy and flat out miserable all because of how much weight I've gained. And its not baby weight. I'm heavier now than I was when I was pregnant and I know its due to my lack of exercise. I try to take the dog and the kid for daily walks but its not enough.
Re: working out
Some weeks I may get only 4 days and rarely just 3 days. DH knows that I've always loved exercise and that it keeps me sane ha. You really just have to do it even though you're tired or what not. It makes all the difference when you feel good about how you look and feel with exercising regularly.
Maybe you can talk to your DH about exercising before he and/or you go to work? I'm sure he would be more than willing to watch your LO while you do something that makes you happy. Good luck with exercising soon! Anything is better than nothing!
It is definitely hard. Pre-baby I would work out 5-6 times a week (sweat is my sanity), a lot of times going to the gym after work. Now I just want to head home to be with DS.
Living in a city, doing lots of walking has definitely helped, and now I am trying to work out during my lunch hour 1-2 times a week with a run squeezed in over the weekend. Going from working out 5-6 times a week to 3 has definitely been an adjustment, but Id rather put in the time with my son than the dreadmill any day!
