Operation Baby Weight: Eat clean, Train mean, Get lean

Hello, I'm a new Mom to a sweet baby boy who managed to gain over 50 pounds during my pregnancy. I used sparkpeople to shed 50 pounds and kept most of it off three years ago and now its time to lose the weight again. I learned so much on that first journey, and although I'm truthfully not looking forward to doing it again, I know I will learn something new this time around.

 Slow and steady until I have clearance from my doctor! My steps are:

2. Go with my son for a stroller ride 5 or more days a week.

3. Begin to run again when I have clearance from the doctor. Add in zumba, kickboxing, and spin classes as I build up strenght and endurance.

4. Track my food and eat for nourishment and fuel, not for emotions!!

5. Weekly weigh-in and measurements

6. Strength training 2x a week.

Hi Kristen,

Sorry to hear that your abs are not cooperating. I would have thought that singing would strengthen them? I'm glad you've found another musical outlet, though. That's great! How's life otherwise? How's your baby?

Cheers,
Heidi

Hi Kristen,

Thanks for stopping by, and for your comment. Yes, I totally know what you mean! ;)

Cheers,
Heidi
P.S. I just finished doing a cover for Lucia in the UK. Are you singing?

Ooh... another baby in the idea pipeline. Cool! You'll have to tell me when you get pregnant.

I know what you mean, though, as all the hormonal changes probably do mess with the voice a bit. Glad you're in the opera chorus and doing concerts. That sounds like fun!

As for me, I am doing Don Pasquale this summer. It will hopefully be a blast! Otherwise, I might (heavy emphasis on the 'might') be covering a Lucia in the UK in October. The Artistic Director and I are talking about it. I don't see how she can refuse, as a free cover is a free cover. emoticon

All I really want is to put it on my CV, lol. But, she is doing the role, even though she isn't a dramatic coloratura. I've listened to her recordings, and she sings fine, but it is risky to do a role so far out of your fach. She told me that she won't be taking any of the traditional cadenzas - WTH? So, I can see how she might feel threatened by having a cover that can actually do the cadenzas, lol. So, if it doesn't happen, that will be the reason. I actually don't think I'm quite ready to sing Lucia, but to have it on my CV as a cover would be perfect!

I just sang a concert in the states (more like a fancy party for a company and their clients). They have asked me to do something similar in Japan in June. Whether or not I end up doing it, it is nice to be asked.

That's about it. I should be auditioning, but grrr.

Anyway, best wishes for getting pregnant again and for your concerts!

Cheers,
Heidi

Thanks for your comment! Yep, babies sure know how to keep it "fresh".
How old is your baby now? Gavin tried to refuse the bottle and formula a few months back! That was fun. I am having one of those extra exhausted days. But I'm gonna go and shake it off with some cardio!
