Aprill Mommas!

Someone asked how I was able to get two hours of housework done today. That got me to thinking; who is able to get exercise in? What's your secret?

    I have started going to swim practice a couple days a week again. It is in the morning before baby wakes up or after she goes to sleep. My husband just keeps an ear open and takes care of her if she needs something.

    I'm already getting up at 5 to take care of baby and get ready for work. My husband takes care of the baby during day and then goes to work when I get home. It's making it difficult, in my mind, to schedule exercise.

    Only when I get the chance. No secrets, I just do it when I can. Housework burns a lot more than you would think though.

    I exercise with my baby right now walking and such. I am trying to get into the routine of working out first then add some strength training etc.

    Anyone have the Wii Fit? Is it worth getting?

    There is a paved trail about a mile from me, so we take the stroller and go for a 2 mile walk before lunch (the sidewalks in my neighborhood are too old & I feel bad for LO with all the cracks & bumps!!). The last week or so, though, it's been too hot and stormy! :-( Luckily breastfeeding helps me still hit my calorie goal but I really like when I get to eat those extra 200 cals from the exercise!

    I want to start walking but haven't been able to get into the habit. We've had family in for the last 4 weeks so we've not been able to get into a schedule.

    My son loves the jogging stroller, so we go out in that a few times a week. We also have a treadmill and elliptical at home. When I go back to work on July 22, there is a gym in my building and I am going to use that t lunch.

    Every evening after lo is asleep I clean do dishes laundry and pick up... When he is asleep for his afternoon nap I am doing P90X 7 days a week and 3 nights a week I run with him in my jogger which he enjoys. It is hard as hell to stay motivated but I am determined to get back in shape sine we are going to the beach n September and I do not want to keep hiding from the camera with my new baby... I am already concerned he is going to wonder why I am never in pictures lol
