[Mama]

<p>Welcome back from the long Thanksgiving weekend. If you're like me, you've probably been eating your way through the past 4 days. In this family, we had Thanksgiving plus three birthdays to celebrate. So as far as The Bortski is concerned, that means there has been cake every day. As for me, the lingering leftovers drove me to the gym today. And I hate the gym. </p>

<p>After both kids were born, I vowed I would do a twenty minute yoga DVD in the apartment at least 3 times a week. For some reason, I've been less than diligent at keeping my resolution. There's always an obstacle-- diapers to change, mouths to feed, laundry to do, emails to write. In reality, it's most likely laziness that gets in the way. But maybe this video will give you a glimpse into some of the challenges moms face when they try to work out at home. And so, courtsey of <a href=" http://www.youtube.com/">YouTube</a>, I bring you my YouBoob video of the week. Click on the photo to watch the clip.</p>

<p>While yoga at home hasn't worked out that well for me, I have managed to go to a local yoga studio that allows you to bring your baby to class. If you're in New York City, you've got to check out the <a href=" http://www.prenatalyogacenter.com/cmps_index.php">Prenatal Yoga Center</a>. Maybe this is a better way to get your zen on. Then again, there's always one or two moms (myself included) who have to stop doing downward dog to breast feed. Thankfully no one objects to the crying!</p>
