As you see there is no fitness whatsoever in that schedule. I use to be a walker. Every day when I got home from work I would walk. Getting pregnant stopped that immediately. I spotted a lot early on and was too scared to exercise. Plus I had worked all day and wanted to sit.
Jack is now 5 months old and I'm still holding on to 30 lbs. I need to put exercise back into my life. I'm the kind of person who can't just eat better and lose weight. Exercise is a must in order for the scale to budge. I just don't know where to put the time it would take to workout for at least 30 minutes a day. After much thought about how my day works, I decided that I need to start walking as soon as I get home from work like I use to. During that time I've already been up and moving so what's 30 more minutes? Plus Jack is asleep during that time and if it is nice out then I can pop him in the stroller. If he is asleep, I can jump on the treadmill.
Now I say all of this without actually doing any of it yet but it's a nice thought. I'll keep you in the know and tell you if I'm able to stay on track. Of course, my new problem is when will I blog. My plan is to do better about writing posts for the week on the weekends. At night before bed I can read my favorite blogs. I'll hopefully figure it out and lose those 30 lbs!
