Re-introduction/De-lurking (long)
"Beverly" ha scritto nel messaggio .. . Welcome back, Elly. It's hard to believe the baby is 9 months old - it seems just like yesterday that she was born. Yes, it does - and now she's officially been longer on the outside than on the inside :-) This sounds like a good plan as you did well on it in the past. Time for exercise can be hard to find with a baby in the house but I'm sure you'll find the time somewhere. Just remember it doesn't have to be all at one time. Maybe you could start by grabbing 10 minutes a few times each day until you find the right time in your schedule. Maybe the exercise will help to increase the energy level. Thank you for the encouragement! It *is* hard to find the time, but you are right, the time *can* be found! I found the postpartum fitness routine program on the Internet (4 day cycles) and I started doing it on Saturday. Skipped it yesterday due to the musculfiber, but found the time for it today again. So far, the plan that works for me is to plan to do the exercise during the day, but not when to do it - just keeping a mental note that I *have* to do it. Today, I grabbed the opportunity to do some crunches and ride a stationary bike when DD was playing in her playpen. I put the playpen, the exercise mat and the stationary bike on the balcony, which was nice because it's in the shade and there's always a light breeze, put some music on, and worked out while she watched. I just wish that she would always be so cooperative :-) In fact, I planned to drive the back longer, but she became fussy and bored, so I missed the last 10 minutes. Maybe I'll do it tonight, if I find the energy ;-) Thank you so much for the welcome!

Re-introduction/De-lurking (long)
Hi Janice,
thank you for all your suggestions! As you might have already read in my other posts, somehow I *am* managing to squeeze in exercise in my day. 2 out of 3 days, at least. And yes, I already feel more energetic. I just hope this newly found will-power lasts...
