I have to say I am proud of myself.  I made exercise a priority in all of 2011, not just the first two months. I've read a bunch of articles on how to keep it fun, from trying dance classes to using the latest heart rate monitors. Some of the new stuff works, but ultimately it's just about moving your body.

Have you accomplished all of your 2011 goals?  If you did, Congratulations!  If you haven't gotten around to it, then you have 2012 to accomplish those goals.

For many people, weightloss and health are high on the list for New Year's resolutions.  If you watch the late night infomercials, HSN or QVC specials leading up to New Years Day, it's fitness and weightloss products, one after the other (If you're trying to score a deal on these sort of products, this is the time to do it).

While it's difficult for most people to fight the battle of the bulge, for moms, it almost seems impossible (but it's not, read more to find out how). 

With full time jobs, carpooling kids back and forth, extracurricular activities, errands, packing lunches and cooking dinner, it's almost amazing that we do get a few minutes to squeeze in a bathroom break (and that's sometimes).

Honestly speaking, I'd rather sleep the extra hour to get ready for a new day of spit ups, breastfeeding, carpooling, working full-time, driving and everything else in between (and these are things I do on a daily basis and even sometimes on the weekends).

So for moms, I get it--it's a tough road.  But, it's a tough road with possibilities and if anyone can do it, I know we can (I mean, who would believe that we didn't sleep for the first 2 to 3 months of our baby's life and I really mean, NO sleep).

So I've come up with "The Mommy Diet" (please note that this has NOT been scientifically proven nor tested by myself).

Steve Rogers was a scrawny, thin sickly man. He joined the military despite that, but was classified as unfit for duty. Steve's courage and resilience caught the eye of a scientist who recruited him to a secret experimental project. Steve entered a body chamber, and emerged as superhero Captain America. He experienced a rebirth into a chiseled, muscular and uber-athletic body. (If only such a chamber existed for the general population.)

Good news, if you want to achieve an athletic, toned body you can try a fitness-training course at home.

For those of you who aren't gym rats, you might want to look into doing these workouts. I know that I dislike going to the gym just because running on a treadmill and lifting weights in a room surrounded by buff guys isn't my thing. But, to each their own. If you enjoy activities with a group of people, these workouts could be right up your alley.
