Some new food rules for me as a stay-at-home mom

In my post "My 3 days diet experience" i have told you about a short diet i had tried on myself and its results. Now i wanna share with you my rules i made for myself recently. Somehow, cooking tasty and much for my husband after we had moved in hasn't gone unnoticed for my figure and i don't like my reflection in the mirror much anymore. Yep, i'm a mother and my hubby loves me and my figure how we both are but, nevertheless, i wanna correct myself.

So, here my tips i have made a strict rule for myself:

1. 2 l of water, including juices, soups, etc. I have noticed i drink not enough water, but it does harm to the metabolism. My cup is about 270 g of water, so my rule now is to drink 6-8 cups of something liquid on a day.

2. No eating after 6 p.m. - only drinking unsweetened drinks. I prefer veggie juices (tomato and carrot ones) and regular water at this time.

3. Morning gymnastics. Now i try doing some physical exercises every morning, it gives some power and good mood. You may do it while your kid is still sleeping or altogether! Besides, it's so good for a kid to do excercises!

4. More vegetables and fruits and less flour and sweet food and fat meat in daily diet. You may cook so many yummy dishes out of veggies, besides they are so healthy! I adore Jamie Oliver's 15 and 30 minutes meals advices!

We'll see if these simple rules help me to like my reflection more again but, anyway, they are definitely lead to better health.

What to do if you are tired of babysitting?

I'm a full time mama-babysitter :) My son is 2 now. He is a good kid and most of time i don't have troubles with him. But homework, cooking, babysitting do their job and, i think, each woman may get really tired of it... And you won't have power and wish to play with your kid much, go somewhere, in the whole do something... You'll feel nervous. Of course, you don't like such mood, you love your child but in your head there is one thought: "I just need some rest". But what to do? You can't just leave your kid and, in the end, you are a mother! What to do in such a case?

1. Recollect why u gave a birth to your child. Love, happiness, excitement, tenderness and all the feelings your kid give to you.

2. Go for a walk. Now! And, of course, with the kid! Fresh air works!

3. Sing your favourite songs aloud. I do it outside while we are walking. Everyone looks at me and, probably, thinks i'm not very healthy :) but so what? And better if you sing kids songs with your kid.

4. Buy something your child really likes. A bun, banana, cookie, small car or a cute doll? You shouldn't have any doubts. Then just look at your child's reaction. Don't you feel happy too?

5. Kiss and hug your kid as much as you can or he/she wants! Look how happy he/she is! And your kid kisses you back! Doesn't it make all your tiredness go away?

6. Sleep with your kid in the afternoon if you need rest. When you sleep with your child in one bed it's very good not only for him/her, but also for you. You'll get much energy! And when you see your kid right after he/she wakes up you'll feel yourself the happiest parent on Earth!

7. If you have such possibility ask someone to be with your kid for some hours. During this time be busy with your hobbies or things you really like. But without devices like laptops, tv, phones, etc. Such occupation will make you more tired.

That's what i do when i feel i need a break. I hope it will help you!
