Hello--
I am sorry to hear about the loss of your job and your friends moving away. I also don't have any friends around where I live, the ones I do are too busy doing the party thing-- which has never been my scene, especially now that I am a mom. It helps if you have a good family support system or if you take up Allison's advice and find some other moms to walk with or maybe even have play dates.
To tell you the truth, as a new mom myself, I find that baby center keeps me feeling like I've got some friends. They are a website targeted at mom's, new or old and you can join any group that relates to your interests, location, and you can find thousands of moms with children your age. Some of the girls I met through there have already been on several play dates. Send me a message if you are interested and I will give you more info.
Alysia's advice was also great. Volunteering is wonderful and if you have no one to watch your baby, you can always volunteer at your local fund raising walks such as diabetes, aids walk, race for the cure, multiple sclerosis, the possibilities are endless and they are a good way to help you get back to shape and spend time with your baby outside the home.
As far as your original question, I personally use P90X but I know some people who use the 30-day shred and also say it is an excellent video and much more affordable than the P90X system (they are a lot of videos, not just one).
