Instructions
1. Measure your belly, thighs, arms and chest. Note the measurements and place them somewhere safe. You will not be looking at your starting measurements again until Step 10.
2. Weigh yourself and note the weight.
3. Set your goals. Be real and honest.
4. Find a diet you can comfortably apply to your body. Figure out what diet works for you. Pick that diet and stay with it. Discuss the diet with your doctor.
5. Pick an exercise regimen that works for you and your baby and other children in your family as well. A health club that provides excellent nursery care or day care is imperative. You get a break from your baby and your baby gets a break from you while you exercise.
6. Discuss the exercise regimen with your doctor. Tell your instructor what your doctor advises and the goals you have set.
7. Work out at least three times a week. Four to five times a week is much better. You can keep a stable three-day work out with two days dedicated to a special class like spin or Pilates.
8. Stick to your diet. Concentrate on raw vegetables more so than fruits. Vegetables are lower in carbohydrates and better for your body. Fruits have more sugar.
9. Weigh yourself once a week. Keep in mind that muscle weights more than fat, so you might not lose that much weight even though you are trimming down.
10. Measure yourself again in six weeks. Notice the difference in size. When you trimmed down, you will notice that your clothes are not as tight any more. Look down at your belly to confirm that it is flatter, toner and more appealing. Read your starting measurements and compare your current measurements.
11. Keep at it and don't stop. Acknowledge each milestone in your program. Tell your friends, husband and baby. Be delighted when your friends notice too.
