My 2nd child is now 2 months old and it's terrible trying to get this weight off. I luckily only have 22 lbs to go before I get to my pre-baby weight..but then I have a little more to lose after that...however, my routine is first eating habits are lean, green and grain, lots of water...i drink anywhere from 2 quarts + of water a day, and bc my hubby is lactose free we now drink Lactose free fat free milk, and no sugars or chips (if it is sugar like in our hot tea, then we use a substitute), and then after all of this...I exercise for at least 1 1/2 hours..30 minutes on the treadmill and then at least 30 + minutes of a weight ball (5lb)..luckily my hubby helps..but this is what is working it's just a slow and hard thing to stick to...I MISS MY CHOCOLATE!!!! :) hope this helps. I really like to use weights for all of my squats and lunges, but I have to purchase them and just haven't had a chance to do so yet, plus I would like to have a more routine while using them (i.e. dvd for weight training). Anyway..just some Ideas...oh, just remember that your body has muscle memory and when you do something for too long your body becomes sort of immune to the results you would probably be looking for..so it's good to change up once in a while...for instance...if you use a treadmill during your workout increase your speed for 1-2 minutes then slow it back down, and alternate that way..it helps to keep your body guessing about what you are doing to it....GOOD LUCK~! (I've been seriously dieting for close to a month now and have already lost 3 inches off my waist and 2 inches off my waist by doing this) |
