Find anything that will work for you and get you active again.

Before I got pregnant, I was at the gym 6 days a week, sometimes twice a day (for training and or classes). I did this for the sole purpose of being able to work out while I was pregnant and to be healthy when I got pregnant.

BUT, my heart rate sky rocketed just doing stretches, that the dr made me stop working out.

Since I got out of the routine, it took me FOREVER to get back into it. I only got back into it the first week in September - DS had just turned 14 months.

I had bought Jillian Michael's Body Revolution and it reminded me of my training, so I started to enjoy working out and finally got back to the gym.

Because of DH's schedule, I can only go in the morning before work. I get up at 4:45 to be at the gym when it opens at 5. I sleep in my gym clothes, so I roll out of bed, brush my teeth, put my shoes on and go. It is all mental and makes it a lot easier for me.

In the beginning, it is brutal waking up. Especially, when DS is having a rough night. He usually fusses 2-3 times in the middle of the night. But you just have to force yourself to get up.
