    Indeed... get a video program. I started with P90... but there's lots of programs out there. Get one that comes with a series of videos as well as a laid out workout calendar that tells you what to do and when. I recommend any of the programs released by Beachbody.com (if you want, check my site and I have previews of a lot of their main programs). You can do it! :D

    :flowerforyou: Do you own a treadmill or other exercise equipment? I just have a treadmill. I try to get on it every morning whether I walk or run, I try to get on for a minimum of 30 minutes. I'm not a morning person but I have made myself get up in the morning and workout because by the end of the day I will be too tired to do anything. By doing this in the morning and logging my meals so I stay within the calories alotted me, I have lost 23 pounds since joining this site in July. If you don't have exercise equipment how about some exercise dvd's? Anything to get you moving again.:smile:

    hey there. I am not good at bossing people, but I can give you some suggestions. I do home daycare as well.

    I make sure and get out for an evening walk for at least twenty minutes in the evening at least three times a week. You get fresh air and I can't even tell you how good it makes you feel. Doesn't seem like much either, but it burns more calories than sitting on your tush.

    Also, when the kids shows come on like yo gabba gabba or the wiggles, get up and dance. The kids love it and you burn calories. You could also put on the radio or some of your cd's and just move. The kids love that too. Before long they will start singing the songs themselves.

    Hope these ideas help. Good luck!

    Dance with the kids, take them for walks, play tag ,play simon says.
    You can also get some work-out tapes from the library and/or ask some friends if they have any to spare or just to use.

Im not to into the DVDS but I do my best when I feel like it! Zoe likes watching the movies with me and she is always saying GO MOMMY YOU CAN DO IT. If that dont move you.. i dont know what will! lol Tell your kids to cheer you on while you do what you do.
