stuck on the couch

help! my son was born in july and i've been stuck on the couch ever since. Henry's not what you could call an easy baby and won't sit in the stroller long enough for me to go even for a short run.We live in illinois and it's starting to get too cold to take him with me anyways. We live 20 min from the nearest town and I hate to take him to a daycare just so I can run around the park. And my mother-in-law, despite wanting to set up a second nursery while i was pregnant, refuses to take the baby more than 2.5 hrs once a month starting at 2 mos ago. Am i just doomed to be fat? all in all i've had 5 hrs away from my baby since we left the hospital

    Many gyms have child are centers that you can use for an additional fee.  I would look at what's available in your area.  Otherwise you could have a babysitter come a few times a week for a couple of hours to watch your LO so you can go work out and maybe also do your grocery shopping.  Definitely log your food in an app or food journal and focus on your diet if you can't find a gym with child care or a babysitter you feel comfortable with.

    have you thought about doing DVD's?  You can work out at home with your babe and not worry about getting out in the cold. Then maybe by the time summer comes around your LO will be a more willing participant in stroller outings
