I've getting lot of questions why I look so "good"after giving birth.
Well I've got lucky I guess.
I've worked out my whole life (swim, fitness, running, kickboxing) so my abs are pretty hard when I was pregnant. I used to work out 4 till 5 times a week or more. I've used supplements from gymfood and I ate healthy as possible. But I must stop working out when I was pregnant.
I've got a very tiny belly during pregnancy. At 36 weeks people thought I was just 20 weeks.That's why I had so much pain during my pregnancy. I may not work out because of the pain and bleedings.
But instead of working out I ate healthy as possible. With a cheatmeal now and then ;). I've used special vitamins for pregnant woman and folic acid pills.
When my baby girl was born I was back to my normal weight again.
I gained less then 10 kilo's during my pregnancy.
So I must say I was very lucky.
My advice: Don't eat for two!!! Eat healthy, eat a varied diet and if you can work out!
Take special vitamins and folic acid pills for pregnant woman!
But now I'm almost 12 weeks further and now what?!
On the one hand I'm happy with my body that I don't have to loose more weight. I am happy with who I am now.
But on the other hand I want my toned body back!
In November we're going on vacation for the first time with my baby girl. And let's say I want to feel good...
I'm breast feeding my little girl and it seems that you burn 500 calories more per day.
Well that's some positive news. But I don't want to loose weight I want to get toned!
I know I may not go on a diet because I breastfeed and this is NOT what I want to do.
From now on I will blog about my journey to get my toned body back.
Maybe I will not have it in November. But someday I will have my own old trusted body.
But I feel better when I work out and that's the most important reason!
I've want to run ones in a week. I started last Sunday, I've ran 3,42 km in: 26:56 minutes.
It's not that fast but my last run was in June 2013! So I'm proud of myself.
I've stared a couple of weeks ago with sit ups and I've take my weights from the basement and started to use them for my arms and abs work out.
I will do some exersices every day from now on!
But only some work outs does not mean you get your abs back!
I will start to eat more healthy then I allready did.
I will not eat less. I will eat more, spread on a day.
So I make sure my little one get enough also. I still take my vitamins for pregnant woman every day.
I'm NOT using extra supplements because of breastfeeding. I don't know if it's harmful to use them during breastfeeding. But I ate 6 eggs a week. (boiled or baked)
I make sure I get my veggies every day!
My favourites are baked bimi with spinach and some garlic.
And make sure you eat your fruits!!!
So I'm guessing I will post more recipes and more exersices to help you guys!
But the most important thing is be happy with youself! You are beautifull just the way you are...
