Work It, Girl!

Since having Joaquin things have not been so great on the workout front. It's hard to find the time or energy to get a good workout in, and honestly, most days it is the last thing on my mind. But, I do want to get in shape. Despite being told that I look thinner than I did before I was pregnant, the sad truth is that I am still carrying about 15 lbs of baby weight (although at this point, I don't think I can technically call it "baby weight"...it's just me), mostly in my mid-section. They say after you have a baby your body is just never quite the same, but I refuse to believe this spare tire is here to stay.

I have recently taken on a new attitude when it comes to working out, which is I do it whenever and where ever I can. This means I don't necessarily have to get all gussied up in a sports bra, sweats and tennis shoes. If I'm laying around playing with Joaquin, I bang out some sit-ups. I take advantage of nice days by taking a stroll with my little man. And, everyday (for the past 5 days now), I do the 4-minute workout (thank you, Pinterest!). It's tough, it kicks my butt, and it's only 4 minutes! Plus I can do it while Joaquin plays right next to me. His favorite move is the high knees, he loves to try and do them with me. :) I downloaded an interval timer to my blackberry, and it's all the equipment I need. Hopefully I can continue to this daily routine, boost my metabolism and tame this tummy!  xxoo
