Is Working Out Really Worth It At This Point?

About 3 weeks ago, I got so disgusted with my appearance that I decided to start working out again. I've never been one of those workout freaks who has to hit the gym every day or else they feel guilty. Instead, I was cursed with a fast metabolism when I was young (or at least until I turned 30) so I was misled into thinking I was one of those lucky people that would NEVER have to work out (seriously, my sister and I used to drink milkshakes and eat pasta EVERY DAY to gain weight). I keep thinking that something will change and suddenly, I'll wake up with the same body that I had 10 years ago. Instead, I wake up and find myself looking more and more like my mother (which isn't necessarily a bad thing, except she's 63).

So, I started working out again but told myself I'd ease into it by doing just cardio. I've been averaging 3-4 times/week @ 30 minutes each visit. Not too shabby. But, I'm wondering if it's really worth it? From everything I've read, I'm sure to gain at least 10 pounds while going through in vitro so at the very least, I'm remaining in exactly the same place. OR I get pregnant and then who the hell feels like working out? It's much more fun to eat ice cream and french fries!

I know, I know. It's all about a healthy lifestyle and I do feel better after I go. I even make sure I tell all of the employees at Chipotle on my way home.
