So much for breastfeeding being "nature's liposuction".

I need to go to the gym. I sooooo miss going to the gym. I have various implements of torture, I mean, exercise equipment here: a treadmill, a stepper, a yoga workout DVD, a weight bench, and this pilates thing that's sort of like little Hula Hoops for the arms. But I can't do much before being interrupted by baby.

The gym in Lexington has a babysitting service. But, I dunno, 8 months seems kind of young for random babysitters, especially since she seems to have some stranger anxiety issues. Or am I being over-protective?

Anyway, mom will be back within a week, probably, and I can leave Sophia and go to the gym then. Ahh, that will feel good. Whee!

Eight months is often the beginning of the intensive stranger anxiety times, so I'm guessing the random babysitters wouldn't work out so well...

Fortunately your mom will be back soon. :-)

When Isabel was that age and a little younger, I went on a swimming kick; we had it all scheduled out that Nico would come home a little early two days a week to take her while I went swimming in the evening.

There's also the approach of progressive weight training using the baby as weights. Fun for the whole family!

I use the baby as a weight. The only drawback is that my arms wear out long before he would like me to stop. (He thinks it's loads of fun. This child is going to love all the rides at carnivals that I hate.) :-)
