Exercising lady...

So I decided that it was time to get my bum off the couch and get working out. Well actually, I think that's not a totally true statement. Not much of my time is spent on the couch these days with a busy toddler in the house. I'm constantly on the go.

When A was first born, and the few months following, exercise was not even a thought. Sleeping was the priority. As she got older, we walked often around town, met friends at the park, and I kept busy around the house. I felt like that was enough "exercise" for me. Plus, when was there time in the day for true exercise.

I feel pretty lucky that I didn't struggle with losing weight after pregnancy. For some reason, my metabolism and a nursing baby, quickly shed the pounds, and even a few more then expected. I didn't have the motivation to get out there and lose weight.

One thing i've not recuperated since pregnancy was tone and strength. With time to fit in exercise still a struggle, I looked into a home workout DVD. I'll admit, at times i'm afraid i"ll give up before finishing, and not push myself as hard because no ones watching.

I'm not sure if anyone really follows this blog, but I was hoping to post a bit to this blog along the journey, and use it as an inspiration to keep it up.

After reviewing some workout DVDs I decided to stick with Jillian's Micheals; Tone the Trouble Spots. The reviews looked great on Amazon.

So even though we're still a day away from March, I kicked off my routine tonight. Honesty, it kicked my bum! I was barely making it to the end, and had to cut some corners to get that far. I'm setting myself a goal of working out 4 nights a week. I'm hoping to look back in a month, and see some pretty exciting changes:)
