Great idea! I probably won't start it until Monday. I am baking some pineapple zucchini bread tomorrow to take to Florida, Thursday is our Christmas party for work and Friday we leave to FL.. will be back Sunday night. I am off Monday so I can start it then! I plan on getting on my elliptical too but I haven't yet lol

Heather, I love my elliptical and usually watch a show when I am on it to pass the time So I always record my shows. The first trimester sucked and I couldn't even stand the thought of working out but now I am feeling up to it!

I think this is where I'm at. I don't think anyone really LIKES the idea of working out at first.. but for me, once I get into the groove of it, I feel so awesome doing it every or every other day.. it becomes second nature. If it helps to keep the lbs off - and get my body prepared for baby to come more easy, I'm all for it. Even something is better than nothing..

I never had BP or any health issues with DD.. but this is 10 years later.. I never know what might develop.. I'm no spring chicken anymore.

I'm such a music nerd that watching TV doesn't cut it for me.. I need to FEEL my rhythm to get moving and the pace I want.. I love to feel the battle. And win.

Anyone else a music person?

[Heatherbella]

See, I never get the feel good feeling of doing a work out. I hate every part of it...especially when I'm tired and blah after. I wish I enjoyed it.

I love music too, Adriana and I listen to it when I jog. Jogging is my favorite. I wish it didn't get dark so early now because that's exactly my exercise of choice. It's too risky jogging right now. I love in the country so there's not much light.

Can I make you all feel better about how little you have gained so far... I'm up 15 pounds!! I put on about 45 pounds with my last couple pregnancies. Thankfully it does come off by about 6 months pp for me, but I still wouldn't mind gaining just a tad less...

I think for me the key to the weight loss is staying active (notice I did NOT say working out... I don't do that), and breastfeeding. I do know for some women that breastfeeding makes their bodies hold on to more weight though... By staying active I mean taking 5 kids with me for a day at the zoo, or running errands with 5 kids at 3 different stores over the course of a couple hours.
