I'm with you on the "getting the pre-kid body back".Now I just need the motivation.

Oh, I like this one! I might have to work on it. As for your seventh thing that you cannot do, I just found out that one of the people I have been endorsing for our non-partisan City Council race is a registered Republican! LOL! I didn't laugh at first.

John Mellencamp is one of mine. I just saw a wonderful movie with Sam Elliot in it called Off the Map. I loved it!

Ha! I put "Vote Republican" too!!

You know what? I was in the best shape ever AFTER I had my first kid (not right after... 4 years after). Better than my before-kid body. The key was that I was still in my 30s. Then, at 40, I had Lucas and it's been much harder to get into that kind of shape. Especially without trying. ;)

Good luck!
