Motivation ideas

Hey ladies, I was wondering if you could give me some motivational ideas. Just to get me kick started. I had a baby back in August and she seems to take up all my time, so I am usually left tired and (recently) just a little depressed. (not to worry, its just being a stay at home mom, is more than I expected). But anyways, I find myself laying on the couch whenever she is being good -- I mean besides cleaning and household stuff. Can anyone tell me how they make themselves do it. Everyday I am like "Oh I will start tomorrow" and when tomorrow comes, "I am just so busy and tired... maybe tomorrow". I know it is on me, it's my own fault-- so please don't say anything like that.. but just something to get my ass up and work out. (OH and fyi, I really cant go on walks right now with the baby -- it being below freezing here... lol already thought of that) Thanks ladies

    The ladies here have some great ideas,  I'll try to add to that.


    First thing in the morning if you can,  workout.  You know if you wait you'll get tired.  You know how much harder its going to be when you're exhausted,  so do it when you are not.  Seems simple I know,  but as you know,  its tough.  

    Secondly,  keep all your workout gear all ready to go in one spot,  so that when you do find some time,  you have it all there and can bang out a quick session.  there are a lot of in home training products out there which you could try,  but you need someone to keep you accountable it sounds like.  

    And when you don't feel like working out,  just picture in you head, yourself in that wedding dress looking amazing.

    Hope that helps.  Good luck!
