Home and Living: Getting Back on the Fitness Track

I feel like it has been 2 years since my last workout. After giving birth, I was eager to work my abdomen again but read that the ab muscles are still fragile up until around 3-6 months post pregnancy.

Now that Ashton’s going on 6 months and after a year and a half worth of midnight snacks and unlimited rice – I feel the fat running after me. I can feel my thighs are getting heavier and I am not very happy about my waist.

Yesterday I started my hardcore diet that limits my rice intake, rice turns into sugar and is the best at making your tummy bulge. Here is my diet plan:

Morning:

a. Tuna Sandwich
b. Peanut Butter Sandwich
c. Coffee

Lunch:

a. 2 Tablespoons of Rice (no kidding)
b. Any viand in moderation
c. Lots of water in between bites

Afternoon Tea:

a. Any slice of any dessert (yes!)
b. Green Tea

Dinner:

a. 2 Tablespoons of Rice
b. Any viand in moderation
c. Lots of water in between bites

Midnight Snack because I can’t live without it.

a. Peanut butter/ tuna sandwich
b. Green Tea

I am still breastfeeding and I am sure I get all the nutrients I need. Most tell me I shouldn’t cut back but it’s best to start eating healthy than be sorry later. I know how hard it is to lose weight when you’re already too heavy.

After a week, I am restarting yoga. Run in the morning like I used to for cardio (help me God), and go back to weights and my refurbished fitness equipment. My lonely plates and barbels have not been lifetd for so long. I am thinking of adding more equipment and add full length mirrors. We’ll see.

I hope my goals would also inspire my husband to live a healthier more active lifestyle 🙂
