Say goodbye

Say goodbye to the baby weight, muffin tops, thunder thighs, and deflated butts. It's time to get into gear. Workouts start tomorrow. NO ifs, ands or buts about it. Somebody GIF me!

Re: Say goodbye

  • I can't GIF to save my life but your post is seriously motivating! Glad I ate the salty cashews and pecan turtles for dinner tonight! :)

  • Exactly WHEN do you ladies fit in gym time? By the time I have a minute to myself, it's almost time for bed....I want to work out more, but man I'm having a tough time fitting it in.

  • @courtjack I am going to give my DH the job of giving LO his last bottle of the night and rocking him to sleep. That will allow enough time for a workout. Then I can shower, wash bottles, prep for the next day and have a teeny tiny bit of adult time or bumping time before bed. I start my day at 4:30am so getting up earlier isn't an option.** It is no longer going to be an option to make excuses for not working out either! If I have to go to bed later, then so be it!** (this mentality doesn't prob sound appealing to some though)

    Gym daycare. It's key!
  • I work at a gym and I still have a hard time finding time to workout. By the time I get off I just wanna go home and relax! I just need to make a habit of bringing my workout clothes, put Lyla in the daycare they have there and workout! It definitely keeps my emotions sane when I do :)

    I'm still on mat leave - I do DVD workouts in my living room during LO's morning nap. On the weekends, DH watches her while I go running. My gym has daycare, but It's a pain to pack her into the car and go up there, it's not free, and I'm not totally ready to leave her with a non family member yet. It's just easier to work out at home while she's sleeping.

    However, I go back to work next month, and I'm trying to figure out how DH and I are both going to fit in gym time. How do you working mamas do it?

  • It's really hard while working FT.  I'm still +20 lbs because if I have an extra hour in the day, I want to spend it with DS.  Luckily I work from home, so we got a used elliptical last week and I walk on it while I'm on conference calls all day.  I also started keeping weights next to my desk so that I could do curls and such while OTP.
  • This would count as a workout right?

  • I need to do this too. I've already taken leaps and bounds in eating better and I do workouts from my on demand in my living room, but I can't find time to get to the gym.

    I actually have a membership to a gym cause my dad works there but my husband and I just rotate our full time work schedules because I work at night so usually if I'm not at work I'm with LO alone. The only way world be to do what someone else said and wake up at 5 am on my nights off while everyone's asleep and DH is home. But then I'd be sacrificing sleep :(
