The Camera adds 20lbs I Swear!

Now that Paisley is on a pretty decent schedule for naps and bedtime I have a good amount of Mommy time where I can work on my hobby among other things. One thing I've noticed is that I'm dying to work out, but you can't exactly bring your baby into the gym. So I've been walking but I still don't feel like I've done enough. I started a couple days ago with finally getting a workout routine during Paisley's nap and am loving it. I went for a run with our awesome jogger stroller during her 10am nap and I bit more than I could chew with that one. I ended up trying to run 2 miles intead of starting with 1 mile. I am certainly not in the shape I used to be in and that run certainly threw that in my face. I don't think i've sweat so much. So yesterday we went for a walk during that time at a fast pace and during her long nap I popped in a workout dvd. Although it wasn't very long and wasn't very hard, it kicked my butt.

I'll be slim in 6 in no time!

I wanted to track my progress with the dvd so what did I do, I took before pictures of myself. Let's just say gasping was an understatement and I asked my husband "Why didn't you tell me my ass was a wreck?" to which he replied "I wasn't going to tell you that! You just had a baby!" mmhmmm rrriigghttt. Well, I did just have a baby but he still could of told me! Today, I didn't get to the workout dvd until after I put Paisley to bed and fro my knees up it feels like my thighs are dead weight but I did it, with hubby peeking away from his school work on the computer. Talk about a self confidence buster! As silly as I looked in front of him I knew I had to do it. I'm already feeling great and hopefully i'll be looking good by christmas!
