Working Out is No Fun....

I made a resolution to go to the gym and eat healthy blah blah blah and man has it been hard to keep up with that. It's the most basic resolution a person can make, yet nearly more than half of us always seem to break it. I always say I have an excuse which is that I have a baby so that means my time is consumed by her. But, thats not an excuse. I work at 4pm nearly everyday. That gives me from 8am-3pm to go to the gym. Audrina has basically the same schedule everyday, wake up between 8-9, eat her breakfast, crawl around everywhere, nap, lunch, nurse, crawl, nap then Jake and I switch work shifts and she hangs out with her dad in the evening. In between this predictable schedule I can fit an hour of gym time. I went today and signed up daycare at the gym for her 3 times this week. When I went today I could not get into the mood to do anything. I'm listening to Pandora running and all I can think of is what is my baby doing. I look over through the glass window (the gyms daycare has a window where you can watch your kid) and all I see is Audrina crawling all the way from the other side of the room towards me. I wave to her and what does she do? Cry. She cries like a maniac! I felt bad, but I knew to just continue my workout and the daycare ladies will soothe her. Then I look over and one of ladies from the daycare comes up to me and tells me that I probably should workout elsewhere because Audrina keeps looking for me. So, I retire the treadmill. I decide to go on the bike, couldn't get into that. I work out my legs and arms, doing the least reps possible. I feel like I need a workout partner or something that can motivate me better. I end up going to the gym for 45 minutes and I think I burnt less than 100 calories. I use to be able to run cross country and play soccer and basketball and now I can barely go to the gym for an hour. I feel like I need an activity that will get me fit and is fun to do. Anyone have suggestions????
