Success

My secret is finding another motivated person. I have a neighbor that was working out daily and asked if I could join her. I go over there at 6:15 and we do a workout video. My husband is still asleep and if the kids wake up, he is there to take care of them. It is difficult to do it early, but it is the only time that is consistent. If one of us has a really really bad night, we call to cancel. I have only canceled twice in 2 months for crying baby all-nighter. If I do, I make sure to go on a walk, or run later in the day. Even if I am so tired, I feel so guilty canceling! It is the only way I will wake up early.

I did have a work out partner once that canceled on me all the time! Really frustrating. My husband has had so many weight lifting partners that come and go that he suggests being motivated for yourself and not another person, but having that other person really helps me. So go out and find that really motivated person to help you until you can do it on your own!

I have a 8 month old baby and a 3 year old and I am down to my pre-pregnancy weight. I think after I am done nursing, I will need to improve my portion control even more, but until then, I am practicing by including veggies or fruits with every meal and not eating like a horse.
