I recommend the waiting approach, just wait to Ella is walking and you have TWO kids to run around after. For some reason its about 10 times tiring that just one

Ugh, just the idea of working out makes me tired. But the drinking water thing I have down. I recommend a refillable bottle – carry it with you all day, I think I drink at least 10 glasses a day (which really isn’t as hard as it seems once you realize that by a “glass” they mean 8 oz). You can totally do that, and then, even if you don’t run or hide your computer, you will at least be doing one out of three, which is pretty good.

Two months after my second daughter was born I got really sick of being, how do I put this??? Ummm..FAT!

I’m not a big runner…so I started playing…drum roll…..TENNIS again. (After 15 years off the court.)

It’s my workout of choice. So much fun, babysitting for free at the tennis club…nice people. Trust me, there are lots of leagues out there for all levels and it’s really fun. If you’re not into running or the gym it’s a great alternative. (The bonus: I’ve lost a ton of weight playing!)

I need to run also...

We should start a blogging thing, where we check up on each other, motivation or something?

I need someone to be on my ass bugging me to run...

Ye gads, I have a $3,000 treadmill parked next to my mommy mobile in the garage.

I have no constructive comments to make on the running since I am in the same boat as you are. I did the Couch to 5K program and even signed up for a beginner’s running program in Chicago, but a year later the running thing hasn’t stuck.

I’m with you. I quit my StrollerFit class & my ass has multiplied in size daily. My new motivation is to stare at myself in the mirror in bra & thong. Singing the Thong Song. It’s scary on so many levels that I’m bound to get inspiration, right?

Hey lady! Good luck with the running program. About a year ago I decided I wanted to drink more water everyday. This was mostly the advice of my doctor, but I like to pretend it was my own. Anyway, I got one of those nagalene water bottles that holds like, 10 cups. I also developed an intense love for Crystal Light. Now, I drink about 3 litres of water a day (and have cut the Crystal light consumption in half, but it’s nice to do when you first start). Anyway, that’s what helped me with the water drinking… good luck!
