Time for Motivation

Wednesday is the beginning of week 8 since Miller's birth and I no longer can use the excuse that I just had a baby to keep me from exercising. Pregnancy was 10 months filled with excuses and now I have decided it's time to clean up my act and establish a routine before I go back to work.

#1 on my list-adding fruits and veggies as snacks back into my daily eating routine. I have dropped back into eating when I have a chance and not 3 meals with snacks in between.
#2-time to up the water intake again. I was doing super well and then dropped back to drinking hardly any water.
#3-infuse some exercise at least every other day (ideally every day for a few minutes but I am being realistic).

The dilema is the exercise routine. I figured I could pull out the ol' Tae Bo tapes, mix it up with some stomach exercises, and round it out with some free weights for my upper body/arms. I know I will be frustrated and bored with the tae bo tapes so I am going to start looking for some other dvd's or suggestions from you. I have good intentions but I need to start with something that's 20-30 minutes in length. I liked the idea of jumping rope but I think my boobs would give me a black eye no matter how many sports bras I wear. The weighted hoola hoop sounds fun but I don't have room in the house and would I really go outside to do it...I doubt it.

I figure the first two items will be easy to pick back up as good habits. The third is going to be a constant struggle for me. Once it's cooler outside, I can take Miller for more walks but right now, he would either burn to a crisp or melt (same goes for me).
