baby weight loss first few days | The Yummy Mummy Kitchen Cookbook

baby weight loss first few days

A HUGE congratulations goes out to my beautiful and talented friend Marina Delio, of the blog Yummy Mummy Kitchen on her published cookbook The Yummy Mummy Kitchen.  She was kind enough to send me a copy of the glorious, kid-friendly cookbook filled with tons of her beautiful food photography.  Her philosophy is all about eating well with all-natural, non-processed ingredients and doing it with style.

Ive been savoring this cookbook and really enjoying all of the stories and insights from Marina about how to live and eat well with family and friends.  This is more than a cookbook, its a "lifestyle" book.   I have to admit, I feel like a big failure when it comes to my 3 year-old sons diet, but seeing how Marinas girls chow down on her simple meals gives me encouragement to keep trying.  I love how gorgeous and colorful her plates are.  

Her book has over 100 recipes, many with just a few ingredients.  Heres just a peek at whats got my mouth watering.  

*All photos via Marina.  So proud of you girl!

Are you drooling yet?!  You can order Marinas cookbook, The Yummy Mummy Kitchen HERE.

pregnancy weight loss forum | Healthy Greek Chopped Salad

pregnancy weight loss forum

Hi everyone!  It’s Jennifer from The Chronicles of Home and I’m excited to be back here at Honey We’re Healthy sharing another healthy and delicious recipe with you.

Warm(ish) weather has finally arrived here in the Boston area, where I live, and we celebrated last weekend by bringing our outdoor dining table out of hibernation and having dinner on the deck.  

We grilled some marinated steak tips, had my favorite crispy oven potatoes (both recipes on my blog this week!), and big bowls of this Greek chopped salad with creamy yogurt dressing.  It was so fresh, colorful, and tasty and just the perfect kickoff to al fresco dining season here in the northeast.

Greek Chopped Salad

1 seedless cucumber

1 c. grape tomatoes, halved

4-5 radishes, cut into quarters

1 c. black olives, halved or quartered

1/2 c. crumbled feta cheese

Creamy Yogurt Dressing

2 tbsp. olive oil

1 1/2 tbsp. lemon juice

3 tbsp. Greek yogurt

1/2 tsp. dried oregano

1/4 tsp. salt

ground pepper to taste

For the cucumbers, cut off the ends, then cut lengthwise in half and then half again.  Chop and add to a medium bowl.  Add tomatoes, radishes, olives, and feta.  Season with salt and pepper.

For the dressing, whisk all ingredients until well blended and pour over salad.  Toss gently and serve.

newborn baby weight loss gain | My Live Fit Week 9 Recap

newborn baby weight loss gain

"What doesnt kill you makes you stronger!"

I had hoped to bring you my Live Fit Week 9 recap last week, but a lingering cold made it difficult to complete it in time.  It seems all of America is getting the flu lately.  A couple of days I went to the gym, but only walked on the treadmill instead of doing that days weight training workout.  Phase 3 of Live Fit is difficult because the workouts keep your heart rate up the whole time, no rests!  In between sets, you do "active rests" like jump rope for a minute, jog/sprint, do step-ups, or abs.  I used to hate jumping rope (I couldnt do it, kept messing up, and felt super self-conscious), but now Im getting pretty good at it and think its FUN! :) 

After I recovered from my cold, I kicked butt in the gym!  Seriously, we all have stresses in our lives and taking your emotions out on those weights at the gym can be a life saver.  Put on your iPod, play your rock-out music, and GO!  You will feel so much better after a hard, sweaty workout, I promise.  

DAY 57: LEGS

DAY 58: BACK/BICEPS

DAY 59: CHEST/SHOULDERS

DAY 60:  HAMSTRINGS/GLUTES/CALVES

DAY 61:  BACK/BICEPS/ABS/SPRINTS

DAY 62: SHOULDERS/TRICEPS/CALVES

I did pretty good completing the workouts as designated, but did not follow the eating plan exactly, which calls for calorie counting in Phase 3.  Because Im already pretty lean, I just eat like I normally do, something like this:

7:30 a.m.  Coffee with creamer, oatmeal with raisins/almonds/cinnamon/skim milk

10:00 a.m.  Protein bar (ideally this should be a meal, but I was on the go this week so just grabbed a bar from my purse)

12:00 p.m.  Grilled chicken pasta salad

3:00 p.m.  Extra lean turkey chili

5:00 p.m. Post-workout protein shake

6:00 p.m.  Extra lean turkey chili

9:00 p.m. Cereal (this isnt recommended, but honestly what I ate this week)

I also had a few hot cocoas (with skim milk) and popped into Starbucks for a tall, nonfat, no whip white mocha.  I told you its not perfect!

So, at the end of Week 9, my arms are getting a little more muscular and so are my legs/glutes- yay!  Also, Im finally noticing that my abs are tighter.  

My favorite body parts to work out are shoulders and legs, I dont like doing biceps/triceps, but I can tell the results are worth it.

Heres a comparison from where I started to now.  Probably the biggest difference that Im most thrilled about is my shrinking belly.  I know its difficult to tell because Im not showing my stomach, but you can kind of see in the first shot where my little "pooch" was, and now its disappearing.  

You can read about the Live Fit Program (and my progress) by going HERE.   Three more weeks to go.  I will definitely be ready for bikini season this year!  Start NOW, so you will be ready too.  Come summertime, youll wish you started today.  

Ive got my eye on these . . .

baby weight loss first week after birth | Spinach Fruit Smoothie

baby weight loss first week after birth

I thought for sure making a sweet fruit smoothie with some spinach thrown in would be a certain way to get my 3 year-old to eat some veggies.  No way.  One taste and he spit it right out all over my cowhide rug.  Thankfully, it wiped off just fine.

I used a big handful of spinach and about a cup of frozen fruit with 1/2 cup of water.  It tasted fine at that point, but a little bland.  Because it was intended for James, I sweetened it with one of his toddler yogurts and a tablespoon of honey.

It was yummy, but he didnt like it.  I drank it all and will make it again.  For myself.

In the future, I think Id add protein powder or greek yogurt for added protein. 

Do you or your kids like spinach smoothies?  How do you make yours?

post pregnancy weight loss girdle | Blue Monday Be Gone

post pregnancy weight loss girdle

Im happy to report that I completed week 10 of the Live Fit Challenge last week, which means I only have two weeks to go to finish it.  Some people have asked what I plan to do after that, and honestly, Im not sure.   Lately, our weather has been beautiful, which makes me want to run outside more.

via

In these next two weeks, Im going to watch my diet extra close during the week so I can finish strong! How are your workouts going?  I learned that Monday, January 21 was "Blue Monday" the day when, among other reasons, people are depressed at failing in their new years resolutions.  I say, forget that! If you fall down, just dust yourself off and get back up! My 2-year old does that 10 times a day!

Im not sure I shared my 2013 goals here . . .

Im doing terrible in the coffee/tea department, but all-in-all, I would say Im making a valiant effort at the rest.  A work in progress.

Be back tomorrow with a few of my favorite HEALTHY cookbooks.
