Workout Wednesday: Lose the baby weight!

I have to say I was very surprised how quickly the weight came off right after I had Easton. Even though I felt like a lot of it had to do with not sleeping and/or eating very little at first. However, these last couple (not really a couple, more like 15lbs) of pounds seem to be a little harder to shake off. Not going to lie, I haven't done much exercising since I had this little guy, but I feel like I am lifting weights now every time I pick him up. I am well aware that it is going to take time shed these last pounds, but I am just getting a little annoyed that none of my clothes fit (still!). I still don't feel that comfortable telling how much weight I gained total during my pregnancy, all I will say is that it was A LOT. It was a little more than what my doctor felt comfortable with me gaining, however I was very healthy throughout my pregnancy.  So now that I am 6 months postpartum, I really want to try to get myself back in shape.

Most mommies might say that they don't have the time to get a work out in, and I feel like that shouldn't be the reason why I don't work out. I'm sure I can find the time somewhere, somehow. Easton is sleeping better through the night (fingers crossed) so aiming to have a good night sleep and work out early in the mornings before he wakes up or after his morning bottle. Now all I need to do is find a workout that works for me!!

I am addicted to Pinterest, so I started there. There are a lot of pins on postpartum work outs and getting fit after baby. I'm trying to weed out the ones that are actually "healthy" workouts and not the ones that are just a quick fix and tough on your body. I've found that there are a lot of quick exercises that involve you hold your baby. They are better than buying weights! haha It is a workout in itself to get Easton to and from the car in his carseat and carrying him around. He is now at the stage where he wants to try to stand and when I hold him up he bounces up and down; my arms should be tone in no time! I am still trying to find what is best for me, but until I find that perfect routine, I'm going to start off with this.

I can't wait to get back to my pre-baby body! and to be healthy of course! Each week I am going to be posting about workouts I have found and ones that I may create on my own, along with healthy eating tips. Super excited even though I know I won't get passed the 40 crunches!
