Top 5 Ways to Lose the Baby Weight!

You had a baby! Congratulations and welcome to the wonderful, exhausting world of parenting. First on the list is probably losing that baby weight. Regardless if you gained 25 - 35 pounds or more you have to figure out how to lose the weight. You may have had babies 10 years ago and can attest to how hard it can be to get your pre-pregnancy body back. Plus, if you’re like me time is at a premium. Here are the top five things to help you lose the baby weight forever!
1. Drink plenty of water (8- 10 glasses a day). Water flushes out your body and helps keep you from overeating.
2. Do short bursts of exercise each day. Do short, fast, effective resistance training workouts to help boost your metabolism and increase your energy.
3. Get more sleep. Lack of sleep tends to increase hunger and affects the body's metabolism making it difficult to maintain weight loss or lose weight.
4. Eat foods from close to the ground. Eat fresh fruits and vegetables more often than you eat processed food. Fruit and vegetables are low in calories and high in nutrients; both are key to weight loss.
5. Make time for yourself. As a mom you often put yourself last. If you make time to take care of yourself you will feel better, be a better mom and be able to lose the weight.
