Laila Shares Her Post-Pregnancy Diet and Exercise Plan!

Laila's been busy enjoying her newest role as a mommy but she's also going full-force with a workout and meal plan to get back into pre-pregnancy shape.  Review Laila's bounce back from baby meal plan and workout routine.

"I have 30 pounds of baby weight to lose and I am going full force to get it off- no excuses!"

Here is the workout plan:

Monday 1 hour personal training - I do a circuit which consists of fat burning exercises and light weights.
Tuesday 50 minute spinning class
Wednesday 1 hour personal training
Thursday 50 minute spinning class
Friday 1 hour personal training

I try to do some form of fat burning exercise everyday.  Starting next month, I am going to incorporate Pilates 2 times a week.

This would be a very intense workout schedule for the average person if they had not  been working out regularly before they became pregnant. Because I am an athlete, this is what it takes to get my body to respond and see results. In fact, I'm going to step it up soon because I am not seeing the results I want to see yet. I guess I am a little impatient!

Here is an example of a typical day for me, meal-wise:

Breakfast
3 egg whites and 1 egg scrambled, 1/2 cup (uncooked) oatmeal and fruit
2 glasses of water
Snack
1 apple and 1 slice low fat cheese
2 glasses of water
Lunch
green salad with 1 cup of tuna and fruit
2 glasses of water
Snack
10-15 almonds and 2 slices of low sodium smoked turkey meat (Trader Joes)
2 glasses of water
Dinner

Baked chicken breast, 2 cups sauteed green beans and small sweet potato.
Sugar free jello pudding(optional)
2 glasses of water
*1 day out of the week, usually Saturday, I eat whatever I want! I call this my cheat day!   


I will keep you posted on my progress...  I'll also have an update on my little one, coming soon... with photos!
