Losing the last 10 lbs of baby weight isn’t easy! It sure doesn’t help that I’m eating a peach pie at 11pm. Does it count if I put a small scoup of non fat frozen yogurt? No?
My strategy to losing weight is to keep moving wherever possible. So far I can only do a walk/run combination of about 3 km a couple of times a week with Pax. Sometimes I’m carrying him, sometimes I’m pushing the stroller. Sometimes he decides he wants to walk himself.
I’m also a big fan of the Biggest Loser exercise dvds. The current one I’m working on is cardio max! They say in 6 weeks I should see some kind of difference! It’s actually a great heart pumping workout and I like the fact that it’s not overly complex at the start and then eventually they get to more and more challenging moves. They also have a yoga like cool down which I enjoy. Again, with Pax he’ll let me get through about half the workout and then it’s:
- Jumping jacks
- Feed Pax a cheerio. He’s satisfied
- Shadow Boxing.
- Feed Pax some more cheerios. He’s satisfied
- Planks (half a plank)
- Get Pax some kind of toy and play with him while attempting to do the next move
- Pax is done.
- I’m done.
- Workout is still going on for another 10 minutes
Yesterday when we went our for a run, I saw a mom with two kids under 5 and she had a nice tight, healthy body. I hope I can get to that point. I just need to keep moving and maybe I need to lighten up on eating peach pie or ice cream or cheese. Mmm cheese. Now I have a hankering for some cheese.
