Wow...I wish I could lose 40 pounds without any effort!!! I was also hoping that when my daughter was born she'd come out as a small toddler, and that would account for the 70 pounds I gained through pregnancy!!
Lovinlife...I absolutely can relate to your schedule!! This last pregnancy was my 2nd (Kella was born February 16th) and now that maternity leave is over with, I'm trying to get back into the swing of things at work, while also taking care of my family. Thankfully school is almost out, so my 7 year old son won't need help with homework at night and there won't be the time spent getting him ready in the morning. I'm hoping those little bits of time will give me some moments to actually start exercising!!!
This past month was when I started actually dieting (with a little exercise here and there!) and I was able to drop 20 pounds. I know going forward it won't be as easy, so adding exercise in is going to be my only choice because I don't think I can decrease my caloric intake much more!!
Anyway....good luck to both of you! Keep in touch and share how you're doing as well as any great tips you have!!
