We have a huge fluctuation in heat here in the summer it can hit in the 90's and even above. I still do my excercising and lifting I just wear very little. Of course I do not go to a gym I have everything I need here at home. And you must drink your water because the sweat just runs. Not that us delicate women sweat or anything:big_smile: The baby is another matter, do you have anyone that can watch the baby while you go for a swim? I have my 8 month old grandson here often and I either wait for him to go to sleep or I snag my 16 year old son to watch him. Which is usually my son yelling down stairs Mom the baby keeps moving or he drooled on me, etc. If you have any support system ie mom, brother, sister, etc. see if they will help you out for a while. I hope you find away to get some you time, because you need it not just to excercise but for you to unwind to.

I understand now why so many mums are still overweight we never have very much time for ourselfs we are always putting the child first. i think sometimes we need to be a bit selfish and put us first. I'll let you know when that happens ha if ever.

I wear sweat pants and a long sleeve until I am sweating when I am lifting, and then strip down layers towards the middle of my workout. -------------- Gravity hates you. Enter the Darkside.

I've had to wear sweat shirts just to stay "warm" in some gyms...or maybe it should be called a "spa" lol My best times where at my highschool weightlifting class....Not much AC....it was alwasy 75-80....I feel like I've acomplished somthing, when the sweat it dripping off my nose. -------------- Get your bicep curling, cut off shirt, matching workout outfit wearing,flexing in mirror "toned" wanna-be ass , out of my squat rack! Don't talk to me, only thing that should be moving is the bar.

Don't let any of this stop you from losing the weight you want to lose. How old is the baby? Perhaps you could find something similar to this and push the baby around in the water while you swim. http://poolcenter.com/images/pooltoys_swimways_babyspring_float.jpg I did something similar with my daughter when she was little, she is paralyzed from the waist down. She is 18 and now uses a life vest but I still drag her around the pool while I kick my feet. Its a great work out for your legs to. She always had tons of fun to.
