Mommy without Pounds - Yummy Mommy Blog: November 2006

Mommy Without Pounds - As a highly active person pregnancy wasn't about to slow me down! If anything it sped me up even more! My husband and I are working on some huge home improvement projects that we hope to have done before the baby gets here! But as my pregnancy progresses and the day the baby is born draws closer I am now looking towards the future. The future in terms of breastfeeding, sleep deprivation, diapers, and the joy of seeing our little one and sharing the world with them! I am also looking forward to taking the baby with me as I hit the pavement in search of strong abs and tight buns once again! We have a jogging stroller/travel system and I am really excited about using it!

When I received the Mommy without Pounds book I was very excited about the information in it. I knew I wanted to breastfeed my baby but was worried about working out and then having sour milk! I was so relieved to see that issue addressed in the e-book. I found the information to be highly informative and reassuring... just like in the Pregnancy without Pounds e-book it was so nice to see information about topics I hadn't thought about. The New Mom Challenges in Chapter 1 were especially eye-opening! Of course it's too much to expect that after we bring home this beautiful baby our bodies would just be somewhat normal! But I am more prepared for what could happen now and plan to deal accordingly - and I promise to try not to freak out!

I am an aerobics instructor at our local gym, by teaching I get a free membership to the gym for my husband and myself which helps out immensely. I do a class that consists of step aerobics, toning, weight lifting, abdominal work and stretching. It varies in length from 70-90 minutes...depending on the fitness of my class. It can be a fairly intense workout, but I tell my class to take it up or down as needed. I am scheduled to return to teaching about a month after the baby is born. I don't expect fitness miracles, but I sure hope I can keep up with myself! I will be using the "Get your body back" exercise routine to help me get back into shape to start with and then on to the "Hot Mommy Makeover" routine. Many of the toning exercises in the "Hot Mommy" section are really great and I hope to incorporate some of them into my class! I am really looking forward to the challenge of getting back into shape! I'll let you know how it all works out!

Thank you, Michele for 2 great resources! I look forward to a third installment someday!

Weight Gain During Pregnancy

From Amy Thomas

I have a 3 month old baby girl, and have enjoyed reading your newsletters all throughout my pregnancy. I also have your Mommy Without Pounds Kit and am proud to report I weight less now than before I got pregnant!

I also refer your newsletter to several of my patients who are expecting and concerned about weight gain during pregnancy. I am a Doctor of Chiropractic, and specialize in pregnancy and pediatrics. I was wondering if you had ever considered including Chiropractic in your segment about back pain. Chiropractic is extremely safe and effective throughout pregnancy (I received an adjustment right before we left for the hospital for delivery!). I have a lot of research and information, and would be happy to provide it to you. Just let me know if you are interested.

Thank you for all the encouragement you have provided to me.

Eat Without Fear of Weight Gain

Things to Eat if You Fear Weight Gain and do not want to Gain Weight

Mommy without Pounds is always discussing the benefits of diet and what you should eat. We have even written a recipe book to help our moms with diet selection and meal preparation. We all know, a house can get pretty busy with children around. Remember exercise is only one aspect of a healthy weight loss program. The other critical component is a well balanced diet. What you eat is what you are.

One of the easiest ways to lose weight is watching your diet. That does not just simply mean eat less, it means watch what you eat - For example, there has been studies conducted in the past that point to fiber rich foods as an excellent source of food for your diet if you are looking at losing weight.

Foods rich in fiber can fill you up faster so you won't eat as much. They also have shown to help in the digestion process of your food which will help make you regular and ensure that your body is healthy.

Here are a few ideas of some fiber rich foods that you may want to add to your diet:

For more on diet and our recipes look into our Mommy Without Pounds E-book that comes with 30 ideal recipes and other diet tips.
