Back in shape, one week later

Welcome back!

It’s now exactly one week after I started my get back in shape after pregnancy program. It has been quite ok. You can of course no expect any major results after a week. The big question is did I actually manage to implement the program.

Walking is great. My sons (3 and 4-years old) are on their bikes while I walk with the baby in the stroller. The boys are pretty fast on their bikes so I end up jogging more than just walking.

The yoga exercise sun salutation did not work as well. It is perfect for my back, shoulders etc but it gave me afterpains. It is now 5 weeks since I gave birth and the afterpains stopped after a week or two. To do an exercise that makes them come back doesn’t really feel right. Instead I simply contract my stomach muscles regularly, while I watch TV, breastfeed or sit in the car. It feels like a good start.

Changing my eating habits has been much easier than I expected. I made sure there is no candy in the house and I’ve been drinking a lot of water in the evenings. Whenever I feel like eating something I know I shouldn’t I drink I big glass of water. It works wonders! Watching less TV also works really great for me since I always feel like putting something in my month when I watch TV. Less TV also helps me to go to bed early. And I don’t eat when I sleep plus I get more of the rest that I so desperately need.

As a summary I think the last week has been good. Feel really motivated to continue.
