Staying on your diet can be a challenge for someone, but for a busy working mom the challenges can be hard. A busy lifestyle can make it impossible to get to the gym for a every day workout, prepare your meals ahead of time, or even to keep in mind to pack your lunch for work each day. Being in a rush can make it difficult to stick to your diet when its so simple to grab something at the drivethrough. Here's a collection of hints & tips from other busy females that will help you stay on your diet despite all the temptations.
Don't try to save time by eating on the run, or snacking at your table while you work. No matter how rushed you are, take the time to eat like a civilized human being, to quote my sister. Set the table, put your food on a plate & have a meal. You'll eat less & feel fuller & not feel the urge to snack because you haven't eaten anything all day.
Cook what will be eaten. Ignore all those homemaker articles that recommend that you cook for tomorrow to save time. Cook portion per person at each meal. That way you'll avoid the temptation to finish off the leftover & teach your relatives healthy eating habits.
Get up early to eat breakfast at home. The morning rush to get prepared may make it tempting to grab something on the way to work, or skip breakfast entirely. Don't do it. You'll finish up eating up all that saved time & far more calories with midmorning journeys to the snack machine, or fight off the blahs all morning long. Stock up on simple breakfast foods. A piece of fruit, a container of yogurt & a slice of toast are a healthy, balanced start for your day.
Most diets recommend that you drink at least eight 8 ounce glasses of water a day. If the thought of drinking a half gallon of water makes you queasy, there's methods to make it more appealing. Stock up on flavored bottled water in the fridge at work & keep cold chilled on your table. At home, float mint sprigs or lemon slices in a crystal pitcher. Theres no added calories, but oh what a difference in presentation & flavor!
Trying to lose kid weight can be frustrating. You need to take it off as quickly as feasible but your body may not be cooperative. Keep in mind that your body is designed to nourish a kid for up to a year after you give birth. Putting it on a starvation diet will kick it in to survival gear, making it even harder to lose the additional weight. In lieu of fighting your body natural tendency to store up nutrition for the kid, eat healthy portions & increase your activity level. & if you're breastfeeding, keep in mind that your body needs up to 1000 more calories a day than usual. Don't skimp you'll persuade your body that it starving.
Employ the buddy process for moral support. Making a agreement with a mate to exercise together makes it simpler to stick to your resolution. In lieu of meeting with friends for lunch, challenge friends to a tennis game, or take a brisk walk in the park together.
