First Weekday Morning Workout

After a long wait, my elliptical machine is finally up and running in my basement. I used it on Saturday and Sunday and actually got in a 35 minute workout this morning. Here's how it went down and how I hope it continues to go down: Baby woke up early, around 5:30 am. I nursed him, stuck the paci in his mouth, and put him back down in his crib. Snuggled with hubby until 6 pm. Did my workout and am now eating breakfast. It's just past 7 am and the baby is still sleeping. At some point, he'll wake up and my hubby will take him to daycare around 7:45 am. That leaves me plenty of time to shower and dress myself and catch the 8:40 train to work. Done! Woo!

I plan on alternating between cardio days and days where I just work on my abs and core. As everyone tells me, "you look great!" But it's not enough for me. I don't want to just look great in clothes while sucking in my gut. I want to get back into pre-baby shape. Unfortunately, I'm not sure it's possible. My weight is already at pre-baby weight. My gut? Not so much. But I'll try my hardest and do my best to work on it and if after all of that, I don't achieve my goal, well, then, that will be okay. But a perfectionist has to try, right? (Of course, this will all go to hell if and when I manage to get pregnant again...but that's another battle for another day.)

Happy Monday!
