Working Out With A Toddler

After returning from Mississippi I am back in workout mode.  I basically stopped when I started exclusively pumping.  I didn't want to risk the chance of hurting my supply.  Plus, I was burning 900-1,200 calories by making milk.  Good enough for me!

 It feels good getting back into the swing of things.  Before pregnancy, even during, I loved riding my bike, doing my old school workout videos and doing leg raises and crunches while watching tv.  I knew I needed to jump back into things.

I did my Gilad Fat Burning video for the first time with Vivian.  


    It went surprisingly well.  I worked out upstairs which means I have to make it toddler safe. Can't have little one falling down a flight of stairs.


She did well playing by herself.  There were a few times she wanted to be at my feet or wanted me to pick her up.





Which I did pick her up once while doing some jumps.  Jumping with an 18 pounder was interesting.  I ended up putting her in the chair and let her play with the blinds.



She was happy!

What I've learned is that working out is a little more challenging and its okay if you have to stop for a moment if she needs you.  Overall, she's going to be a good workout partner.  I can't wait to get a bike baby carrier and take her for a bike ride.  I also think its great for her to see me working out and being healthy and not lounging around all day.  Not that I do that anyway.  Hello?!  I have a 13 month old!
