I’ve mentioned before that I haven’t quite lost all of the baby weight from Kelvin yet. Honestly, I blame nursing. I know nursing helps you lose weight, but seriously…all that milk must weigh at least the 5 or so pounds my body is bound and determined to hang onto!

So I have been trying to do the 30-Day Shred every day this month…I won’t be able to blame nursing forever! I also take diet supplements in the form of prenatal vitamins, and I’d like to think that helps, too. But it’s very hard to get any benefit from exercise when you have temptation literally shoved in your face!

The first time this happened, Ava had taken a really short nap and I still hadn’t done the Shred, so I decided to get her to do it with me. She did like one jumping jack, sighed and said, “This is too hard. I’m going to get food.” I almost died laughing.

So she went and got her Cheez-its and sat on the couch and watched me work out. But that wasn’t enough! In between every exercise, she would shove her bowl in my face and say, “Want a Cheez-it?”

And she has continued to do variations on that story nearly everyday since then! Seriously, people, how am I supposed to get anything out of exercising when I have to deal with this?!
