The baby has arrived healthy. You feel overwhelmed, tired and out of shape and you need a lot of energy to take care of this new bundle of joy. We tend to overlook some of the simplest things that can make our life easier and more stress-free so I have listed some of these steps for you and Adele to follow.
4 Simple Steps to Follow For Exercise Weight Loss Before, During and After Pregnancy
1. Eat Healthy
Of course this is something that we all know but most of us don't do because of all the excuses we make. My life is just too busy! I don't have time to shop! I'm too tired! Do any of these sound like you? Stop making excuses, bite the bullet, and learn how to shop wisely and to prepare simple, quick meals. You will not only gain energy by eating correctly but you will be amazed at how your stress level is reduced.
2. Feed Your Emotional Needs
Every single one of us has emotional needs whether we know it or not. What makes you happy or sad? Are these not emotions? During and after pregnancy a woman's emotions tend to be all over the map. Quite often post-pregnancy counseling can help. If you can't afford to pay for counseling; try to find a "best friend" to lean on or write a journal. Sometimes writing feelings down is a good way to vent and relieve stress.
A support group is something that has helped countless number of women. This group could include people from you neighborhood, work place, or your childhood friendships. The most important thing here is to surround yourself with supportive people who understand what you are going through and will be there for you when you phone or just drop by for a cup of coffee and chat.
This feeds your emotional needs at the moment but doesn't do much for the long term.
3. Consult a Fitness Program
During your pregnancy it is extremely important for both the woman and the baby (fetus) to stay fit. After delivery it is just as important, if not more so, to get and stay fit in order to have the energy to deal with all the joys of having a new little one in the house. The stresses and sleepless nights can be minimized by finding a exercise weight loss program that matches your lifestyle. There are plenty out there so choose wisely.
4. Schedule Leisure Time
Leisure time is one of the most important elements to living a healthy, stress-free lifestyle that will be the envy of your peers. But, you say, I am to busy to take time for myself. This is where the "schedule" comes in. It is extremely important to schedule time for yourself so take out the calendar or pin a note the fridge; whatever works best for you, about 1 thing you would like to do for yourself this week. Schedule it, day and time! That is the first part. You scheduled the time for yourself now go do exercise weight loss for yourself.
