Exercise? Work Out? Do What?!

Alright ya'll... I officially ordered my copy of Jillian Micheal's 30 Day Shred. I was thrilled to pieces to get into my pre-pregnancy jeans 3 weeks postpartum, but in order to keep things that way while staying at home I figure I need some kind of exercise. I can't obviously go to the gym with Elise in tow, and walking outside has become a thing of the past because a) it's January and b) it's not getting any warmer. I certainly don't plan on "letting myself go" now that I spend most of my days at home. I still get up, shower, put a little make-up on, and blow dry my hair (if Elise permits). But I don't want to morph into some Hot Mess that Jason comes home to one day and thinks to himself, "where did that little hottie I married run off to, and who is this wildebeest impersonating my wife ?" I want to be that hot Momma taking her little girl to the pool in the summer time, which is what I plan on doing - taking Elise to the Pampa Country Club to go swimming - I will of course have to get in the pool with her and need a bathing suit ready body by then. The only obstacle to this whole thing is - will my daughter spare me 27 minutes of uninterrupted time for 30 days? It's not likely, but I'll do my best to press on. I don't have a scale, so I'll have to save my pennies to pick one up at Wal-Mart to measure my progress. Guess I won't be able to get started until then.... just joking. I would like to update ya'll on my progress though and hold myself accountable, so getting a scale is kind of vital to do that. Well, while I'm waiting on my DVD to arrive in the mail, I'm going to drink all the cokes in the house and not buy anymore. Shouldn't be too hard since just recently we started allowing diet Dr. Peppers and Ginger Ale in the fridge. Hopefully I can report back with some inspiring news regarding my new exercise program.
