Attention New Moms: Get Ready To Get Inspired (or offended!)

If you’re a new momma … or you are preggo and about to pop out a little one … then you’ll enjoy this short little list of ideas to lose baby weight once you have the kid!

Yes! You CAN Get Back In Shape!

I’ll prolly catch hell for this, but so be it …

Don’t use your baby as an excuse! You can get back in shape after you have a baby. There’s no reason why you can’t look just as good after the kid as before the kid.

In fact, you’ll love yourself more if you DO get back in shape.

Seriously, if my future baby mama was like, “Oh … I’m allowed to be out of shape, I just had your kid” I would be like “Oh … I’m allowed to smack your face because the baby is crying really loud”.

Ok, just kidding about that. It’d be a close conversation to that though, just with less spousal abuse.

Seriously though: lots of moms have gotten back in shape.

Hot Preggo Pics!

Have the words “hot”, and “preggo pics” in this post will probably get my site listed in google for some weird, pornographic search terms, but no matter!

I want to prove women can get back in shape after baby births by giving you some hot mamas to look at. First though, pictures of the hot preggos themselves:

Here’s 4 Tips To Kill Your “Big Momma” Excuses!

  1. Go for a walk. Everyone needs fresh air (especially when you’ve been breathing in baby excrement for hours on end!)  You can take your baby with you.  If baby is asleep or on the edge of sleep, bundle him up in a stroller and hit the pavement.  Jog strollers allow more ambitious moms who would rather run to do so along with baby.
  2. Do some baby weightlifting. Who needs barbells when you have a new baby in the house?  If baby is awake, use him to strengthen those muscles.  Place baby on your abdomen when doing crunches.  Use him as your weight for bicep curls, military presses (carefully), and chest presses. (And don’t forget those kegels!)
  3. Choose a gym with child care. If you’re going to go to the gym, you should try to find one where they’ll watch the rugrat while you’re exercising … that’ll keep you “more” sane than if you didn’t have someone to watch him/her/it.
  4. Try water aerobics. You and your baby can take a water class.  Babies live in water for nine months so they are used to it. (But they’re not water-proof, so you don’t want to hold them underwater … at least not for long).  Keep them in the water with you as you kick, twist and jog off the pounds.

So, I hope this post didn’t infuriate you too much … but instead … inspired you to lose that baby weight, and get back to lovin’ the way you look more and more!
