It's so hard to find time between breastfeeding my newborn and doing household chores to work out. I'm going back to work tomorrow and I'm afraid I might stop doing my few workouts I have time for and I also might opt for easier meals (not very healthy) I just need some advice on how to stay on top of things and some encouragement to keep things going. I'm down 5 pounds since I started.

    Do you have a baby carrier? I carried my baby everywhere. Still do and he's two!
    I used to pack myself lunches the night before to ensure I would eat healthy. I used things around the house to ensure exercise such as walking up and down the stairs while carrying baby. We went for a lot of walks too. At night after i would get baby to sleep, I would do my other exercises, or have husband watch baby for a bit so you can have you time.
    Keep nursing too! That will definitely help:) good luck!
