A couple of weeks after the baby was born I gave up on exercise. No big deal since I have been working out without any major breaks since about the first year of college. (Wow only 5 years ago!) Taking even an extra 45 minutes out of my sleepy time was no longer a practical option. I was walking around like a zombie and was functioning badly with my sleep deprivation. I needed to dedicate as much time to rest as possible and the workout went out the window.

It's time to get back on track. My wife is going back to work next week which means we need a new morning routine to get everyone to work and the baby to childcare. Since that means I will be up early to feed and dress the baby anyways I figured it would be the perfect time to renew my old good habit of getting my workout completed in the morning. So far I have been doing some baby workouts to get ramped up again. I forgot how good it felt to be awake and showered after exercising and ready to go for the day. In addition, I didn't get upset about the weight I gained these last 10 weeks since I simply refused to step on the bathroom scale. I highly recommend throwing the scale out anyways and merely see how your clothes fit. You will be much happier.
