Post Pregnancy Diet and Exercise Program

So Sarah has been talking to me about going on a diet and exercising with her after Annie comes so we can support each other while she loses the baby weight. I have been trying to decide if I wanted to do the exercise part because school and work limit my time and Annie is only going to stretch my time further but after speaking with my niece I have decided to participate in the exercise part. I have known for sometime now that I have gained some weight since getting married and starting pharmacy school but I always attributed it to my stress levels, my slowing metabolism, and my sedentary student lifestyle. I didn't think about it much because I always told my self that there wasn't much I could do about it at this point in my life, and I didn't think my weight gain was THAT noticeable.

My decision was made when I was sitting on my sisters couch and my 2 year old niece approached me with a question, she said "Do you have a baby in your belly?" I replied in a bit of a surprised tone, "No, just Sarah does." Klaire, my niece, then walked away while still looking at me. I brushed the first question off but, she took a minute or two to think and returned with her second question, "Do you have puppies in your belly?" At that point all debate was over. I now get to start an exercise program along with my wife. Oh, the honesty of little children.
