I need to get serious.
About getting my body back after Aidan.
Granted, those of you that know me in person are probably screaming "Lose weight? YOU? Pregnancy and those extra 5 lbs were a blessing!"
Well, it's not that I want to lose numbers on the scale. I don't. But when your skin on your back jiggles when you are burping your child it's kinda like an "ew" factor to your psyche. So I don't want to lose numbers, but "re-organize" where the extra stuff lives. If that's even possible. Aside from moving the flab around, I really need to get on this to help prevent the inevitable diabetes I am now seriously at risk for. 2x gestational diabetes and a diet high in carbs with no exercise. Yeah, I'm a ticking time bomb.
So here's the problem. I hate exercising. I always have. I always find some excuse not to. I haven't gotten on it yet with Aidan. My excuse first was he's too small, I don't want to waste my limited energy on exercising. Then it was I was nursing so trying to do any vigorous exercising with boobs full of milk was, well, unappealing. Now, I have neither of those excuses. So I just gotta do it.
I'm looking for suggestions. Fun, easy, quick ways to get a good work out in that doesn't necessarily burns calories but does help shift things. Like I want my flatter belly back instead of this bulge left over from my AWESOME (and I don't mean that sarcastically! I loved having a big belly finally!) belly. What did you do to get your body back after baby?

I wear Amelia in a carrier while pushing a stroller with Greyson in it when we take walks. And she's almost always in my arms. Lifting an extra 15lbs all day long adds up.
Oh, and I give the kids airplane rides every day. (On my back and lift them up with my legs)
Swimming can be both fun and is great exerciese
