Remember when I lost 50lbs and actually kept it off for a year?!
What’s that? Why am I reading a book about losing the baby-weight when I’m like 4 years post-partum?
There are chapters on prenatal and postnatal fitness, as well as adjustments for beginners-advanced, post-c-section & Mommas who may have other limitations, even those on bed-rest.
The book actually kicks off with nutritional tips, or, the 7 Principles. Such as: Eat to Live, Eat Fresh, Power Up with Protein, etc. Micky focuses on the fact that this is not a diet, but a way of life. If you remember, my discipline with food was key to helping me lose weight the first time around. I stuck to it for well over a year, until I recently fell off the wagon. Thankfully, I don’t have 50lbs to lose this time. I’m very focused on nipping this gain in the bud before it gets out of hand. I believe Micky’s book will help me get back on track.
I love how Micky keeps it real for new moms, by integrating your baby into many post-partum exercises, discussing depression, as well as the unpredictable agenda your baby may have.
From Chapter 5: “Ultimately, it is your baby who will control the dynamic of the exercise sessions if you want her to be a part of them… If she flat-out refuses, don’t push it. You don’t want to sour the experience forever.”
