Ten Tips to Maintain Your Bridal Figure Long After the Wedding
The shimmering sun peeks lazily through the tiny window over clouds as white as your gown and as pure as your dreams of a new life with your husband. The plane touches down gently, returning you both from your honeymoon and delivering you back into reality. Gone are the mile-long buffet tables and hours-long lounges in the sun. No more will caution (or your body) subjugate its will to your whims without taxing your vital statistics for the tab.
If you are like many newlywed women today, preventing the seemingly traditional weight gain that accompanies the beginning of marriage is a major concern. Below we offer ten simple, conventional wisdom tips that are touted by experts as sound, safe, effective means of keeping those unwanted pounds off. As always, please consult your physician before starting any diet or exercise program. After all, everyone is unique and it is your health!
Not The Time To Relax
1) Do not allow the videos and photographs of that beautiful, elegant, svelte angel of a bride lull you into old habits that worked against your goal. Avoid comfortable temptations to indulge regularly in your favorite junk food and to relax into a sedentary lifestyle. Eat sensibly and live actively and you will continue to mirror the beauty you feel inside.
Do Your Homework
2) Continue to take advantage of living in the information age and do the work necessary to learn about your body. If your last full physical was when you were 12, have yourself looked over by a professional to assess your current state of body. Identifying what activities in your life lead to your strengths and weaknesses will bring you the answers to some of your most personal physical questions.
