My son is 10 months old and I can’t believe soon enough he will be one year old! He is truly amazing and he has recently started sleeping through the night. I am finally able to sleep more than a 3 hour stretch and I feel like a new woman! He also has started napping. It took a while for us to get into the rhythm of napping, but it is finally happening. Sometimes only for 20 minutes and sometimes (when I am truly lucky) it can be nearly 2 hours.
Because he was never much of a napper, I had to make very good use of my time. When he would fall asleep, I would run around like a mad woman trying to determine what I could complete in the next 20 minutes. By the time I started something he would be awake. Up until now my fitness routine was running with him in the jogging stroller, doing exercise drills at the park while he was in the jogging stroller, or working out in my fitness studio after I had clients (when I had a sitter). This was great but there were some days that I was unable to take him out in the weather and that I had no sitter. Now that he is napping I have the option of using a portion of his morning nap time to workout. I figure 20-30 minute workout, then shower, then get done whatever I can before he wakes up (laundry, cooking, etc). In order for this to work I will have to push aside some toys and workout in my living room…
Postpartum weight update: I am still a few pounds away from my pre-pregnancy weight and my core is still not as tight/strong as it was (which is why I am still not in the pre-pregnancy pants size yet). It ain’t easy….but we gotta keep focused.

Thanks for the motivation! It’s so important to stay focused on staying fit and healthy. It wasn’t hard for me until the little ones came along. You are doing great!!!
Julie, Thank you! It is important but not always easy to stay focused. Little ones (and your bigger ones) can keep us very busy. I tell you all the time, I don’t know how you do it. XO
