Oh yeah, sport. He, too, is in the life of the perfect mommy. But not as an occupation with a coach.

Rules of life flat abdomen
So, how to write the rules of harmony Australian in our reality? You already know all this, but we recall just in case. These simple habits will allow you not to lose weight by the summer and help you stop pulling in the stomach. There is no need to do it.
1. Add vegetables to every meal.
Tomatoes in omelet, fruit in porridge. Stewed vegetables with cereal for lunch and a cup of fresh salad for dinner. It is much easier and cheaper than it seems. But fiber from vegetables will help to improve the work of the intestine, and therefore, set up a metabolism. And even faster to saturate and reduce the portions.
2. Eat seasonal foods
You don’t have to buy mangoes or bell peppers in winter when they are sky-high. Choose, like Abigail, seasonal products only specific to your region. White cabbage salad with grated carrots, seasoned with lemon juice and olive oil. Or yogurt with mustard. It costs a penny, but how delicious! And there are so many options for preparing desserts and main dishes with pumpkin, beets, zucchini that you can not repeat yourself for a couple of months.
3. Observe basic activity.
This is what the Australian woman uses. Don’t have time or energy for sports? Replace the elevator with a ladder, go to a distant store for groceries, jump with your child on the playground and happily wash the floors twice a day!
4. Look after the skin
Abigail’s recipe is not a revolutionary discovery. Recently, all bloggers praise the massage with a dry brush, you must have heard. He is the most, or scrub plus shower and oil really works great. And it takes 10 minutes a day. Start the first time yourself a timer and hide in the bathroom at this time. As soon as you see the first results, you will not be able to stop.
5. Allow yourself to be lazy
Consider seasonality. We live in a climate with a sharp change in temperature and length of daylight. This is not sunny Australia. In autumn, life cycles slow down, metabolism decreases. The fact that you only want to eat and sleep is normal. Just accept it. Do not call yourself lazy, do not scold. But try to observe the necessary minimum, which does not require much effort. For example, a shower and enough water. Or shower and vegetables at each meal. A new cycle will come soon, a surge of strength will come with it.
