My name is Amy. I am 24 and I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl 10 weeks ago. I was a 135lb athlete before pregnancy and in the best shape of my life. The pregnany was nine months of total hell. I had "morning sickness" 24/7 throughout the entire pregnancy. I could barely walk from room to room w/o getting sick and this was followed by a 23 hour "complicated" labor and delivery. So, I basically got extremely out of shape and gained 65lbs. I have been struggling to get the weight off. After giving birth, I went back to my old ways of eating. Lots of protein and vegetables and absolutely no starches or sugars. I have not cheated one single time for over a month and to my dismay, when I stepped on the scale last week, it showed my weight to be the same it was a month ago. I lost 20 lbs from having the baby and fluid loss so I am now 180lbs. I still have not cheated but I want to be losing 2-3lbs a week. The healthy way. It is so hard for me to get a workout in. I work 40+ hours a week plus I have a new baby that I want to be with constantly. I can tell that I am really starting to get depressed. I know I can't be thin right away but I would love to know that I am least losing weight. I'm doing everything correct with my
diet but am failing on the exercise. I need ideas and tips of how to get
cardio and weight training in while not feeling guilty for leaving my baby to do it. It's dark when I go to work and dark when I get home so I can't jog in my neighborhood. I want to take Annabelle to the
gym but I'm afraid I will annoy the other members. This is really bothering me. I have to do this. I don't want my daughter growing up and knowing her mother doesn't like herself. It's very painful for me. I can't even look in the mirror.
