Getting back into exercise

Published by hollianna at 11:16 am under Fitness and Health Edit This

I have a confession to make. I haven’t started back up with an exercise program yet, and it’s been over three months since I had the baby. I feel a little guilty, but only a little. I’ve been exhausted and pretty busy with everything else.

But I think the time is coming when exercise needs to become a priority again. I feel like a slug. My stomach isn’t shrinking any more. And the postpartum depression would probably get a little better with some regular exercise.

I want to do it, but I find excuses every time. I’m thinking I’ll start with something easy, like a few minutes of yoga or a walk with a friend. It’s time to get moving and take care of my health.

Who’s with me?!

    I’m with you! Although I have the opposite problem…all the motivation but none of the time! :) It sounds like you and I have babies the same age. My youngest is 3 1/2 months ;)

    Yeah, time is a HUGE factor here. It’s funny that before having a baby I had all the time in the world and no motivation. Now that I have no time to do anything is when I have motivation to do all kinds of things. Ironic.

    Thanks for commenting! I hope to see you back on my blog again. It’s nice to ‘meet’ someone with a baby the same age. :)

    Isn’t that the truth? Before my first was born I remember just sitting in front of the tv at night after work…I would have had so much free time on my hands to get to a gym. It’s really after having my children that I’ve been entirely motivated…kind of a different outlook, if you will :)
