LOSE THAT BABYFAT: IT'S NOT THAT SIMPLE
Nowadays, it’s not unusual to see photos of starlets looking great in slinky gowns just weeks after giving birth.
But that’s not reality, writes La Reine Chabut in “Lose That Baby Fat! Bouncing Back The First Year After Having a Baby” (M. Evans, 2006, $17.95).
“Real moms don’t give birth and leave the hospital in their old jeans. Real moms don’t have time to shower. This book is for them,” said Chabut.
She calls her book a practical guide and her program a “reality-based fitness program for the real mom” who is trying to shed unwanted pounds in the first year after having a baby.
The book includes weekly goals, lots of tips and exercises. Each month is a new chapter with information on how you should expect your body to look, feel and how much you should weigh at that point.
In Chapter 2, she writes that you will probably still be wearing your maternity clothes, will be feeling “tired and a bit foggy from sleep deprivation,” and will need a stroller, baby carrier and an exercise ball.
By Chapter 9, Chabut writes that moms who follow her program will be back to their pre-pregnancy weight.

|  | We're not that bright, even though in our own little world, we're geniuses. We like 80s hair bands and one-hit wonders, but among us we have respectable tastes, too. Metallica, Iron Maiden, U2. Pursuit of all things trivial is a lifestyle, not just a game. We like some sports, love other sports, and can find something to say about anything. We watch TV and movies and we've read a book or two, even a few classics (Yes, Classic Comics count!)
We call it insight, you call it what you will. | |

|  | What is up FoCo?
I am a recent college graduate of Minnesota State University Moorhead. After recieving my B.A. in English and Mass Communications this past August I moved down to Colorado.
I enjoy long walks on the beach, candlelight dinners, and heavy metal. My hobbies include reading and writing, music, movies, and getting drunk. Some of my favorite contemporary authors include Bret Easton Ellis, Chuck Palahniuk, and Kurt Vonnegut. My top movies are anything directed by Kubrick. I enjoy listening to anything that rocks.
Right now I am just trying to get to know Colorado and FoCo better. Mostly in order to find the best drink specials on each day that ends in Y. So if you know where I can get a cheap drunk on, let me know!
