I need to lose 20 lbs still hanging around from my last pregnancy. I was SO good, ate right and only gained 32 lbs, but I just can't seem to lose it. As a stay at home mom of a toddler, there aren't a lot of opportunities for exercise (unless I buy expensive equipment, which I can't afford). Gym membership is out due to $$ and no babysitter, my 12 speed bike is out of commission and needs a total refurb, and it is impossible to go running or jogging because I'd have to leave the baby alone (nope). So I'm left with floor exercises on my lovely hardwood floor (did you know that is very noisy?).

Any ideas that don't involve money, purchases or leaving the baby alone? I do have a yard which is fenced, so the baby could run around while I do something...jumping jacks? jump rope? run laps?

I gotta put down the ice cream too, my only dietary weakness.
