I think your list is great! Which workout videos are you going to do?

I'm 4.5 months pp and i started slowly with lots of walks, I 'banned' myself from using the car (except when going longer distances). Then I ordered a flash new pair of running shoes, loaded some tracks onto my phone and now I'm doing 5k a couple of times a week alongside walking.

And I found in the last month I'm less hungry, before then I had a huge appetite but it seems to have stabilised now, I'm actually eating less every day. Also made sure I have healthy snacks at home, cottage cheese with fresh fruit and nuts is my favourite.

I'm with you!!! Only my situation is slightly different... I'm done having kids and I need to reclaim my body!! Quickly before I'm momma-soft forever!!! Unfortunately I have no time to be lazy with the toddler and the infant in the house, but as soon as LMW starts sleeping thru the night I know the laziness and bad eating habits will start again (as soon as I have time to myself again!). So we've decided to start cooking/eating healthy meals more, and 3 times a week we're going to work out. Going to the gym is not an option for us since we both work full time and have no babysitter at night, so we've worked out a plan: after the kids are in bed we're going to both get ready to work out, then Wagon Sr. will set up our xbox kinect for me (I have two games now: Dance Central and Zumba!) then as soon as I've started he'll go out for his run. I won't stop kinect-ing until he's back from his run. This way I'm still in the house while the kids are sleeping but we both get a major cardio workout in.

I really really hope this works. I know Wagon Sr. will be motivated to run (he's one of those people who gets addicted to running once he starts up) but I'm SO lazy. Which is why he has to set up the kinect for me. If it's on and ready, I know I'll do it, but if I have to get it all set up I won't!!

Hard boiled eggs for snacking is a great idea!! I'm going to do this too, maybe every Sunday night while laundry is going. Protein first thing in the morning will also help curb carb and sugar cravings thru the day. My morning protein of choice is Fage greek yogurt with honey.

I really need to get off my lazy butt and do something. LO is 5 months old now and I go back to work in January. Everyone who has had a baby in my office has come back from mat leave looking fabulous. I on the other hand can't fit into my clothes yet so I have a lot of work cut out for me. I'd love to ease into doing a bunch of Pilates videos.
