Okay, so I used to be totally anti working out. I just couldn't get into it. But now I have 3 kids and it seems harder this time to get back to my normal size. I desperately wanted to lose weight before Steve and I went on our cruise and so my friend told me about Denise Austin's workout on Lifetime every morning. I was skeptical about being able to stick with a workout, but I love Denise Austin and so I gave it a try. I have been doing it now for over 3 months and it is definitely true what they say about excercising. I feel so much better than I used to. I have energy and I am 100% more enthusiastic and optimistic than I used to be. Normally I am kind of negative when I first wake up, thinking that another day seems so monotonous. Then I do my Denise Austin and towards the end I am thinking to myself. "What a beautiful day this is! I just love my kids, they are so wonderful (not that I don't think that on a regular basis, but you know what I mean). I can't wait to clean my house." Denise Austin is the best workout for me too because she is not hard core, but she makes you feel so good. "You're strong, you're lean! Tighten that tushy, if you don't do it, no one else will! Work on that glutius maximus, making it our glutius minimus." Anyway, I just got done working out. Can you tell by my enthusiasm? Have a great day!

congrats! working out is the best! it really works for me too. :) it also helps me to get out any anger...like venting through lifting weights. hahahaha that's awesome that you wake up that early in the AM to do your workout. YOU ROCK! keep it up and don't worry you will loose the baby weight, it just sometimes takes time. I am proud of you. :)

That's funny that you are so gung ho about working out, because I am really gung ho about eating and watching TV. Unfortunately it seems to have the opposite effect to working out, so I must truly re-evaluate my hobbies.
