I'm hoping you busy folks might have some ideas on how I can get in some exercise these days. I used to love to run but now I have a crazy 6 month old and it's kinda out of the question.
I work 50 hours a week so my time at home is limited and my baby makes it difficult only because she's SUPER CLINGY. God bless her she's not the type that will stand for hanging out in a swing, walker, highchair, jenny jump up, (I have them all) or on the couch or floor with toys. She want's to be held pretty much all the time -or- sitting in her baby pool.
I'd love to take her for walks in the stroller but living where I do it's out of the question. It's over 100 pretty much every day and there's no shade to be found. I tried to take her to the
mall to walk around but she won't stand to be in the stroller for more than 7 minutes or so before she starts to get pissed!
There aren't any baby w/ mama exercise classes here in Mexico or clubs for that sort of thing so I downloaded some youtube videos for baby-mama exercise but lol she's not having it. She despises being on her tummy and using her as a barbell gets to be too much of a squeeze on her little body.
(Btw don't take me for complaining about my little girl, she's sweet and I wouldn't trade her, I'm just looking for ways to work with her.)
She only takes two maybe 20 minute naps a day and one of those is while I'm sleeping. I work at night 10pm-8am and sleep in the morning till around 3pm. The nap time is sacred to me because it's the only time I can cook/clean/feed the dog/give my husband some lovin' ect.
ANYHOO, you've got the picture - anybody else out there ever have a baby like mine and have ideas? I'd appreciate anything!
