Eat 5 meals a day. Set up a running schedule based on how much weight you want to lose. To shed 1 pound, you need to burn 3,500 calories. How many calories you burn running for an hour depends on your speed and weight. If your winter is snowy and icy, chances are you'll end up running at a rather low speed, so you won't burn as many calories. For example, a 155-pound person running at 5 miles per hour will burn 563 calories, but a 205-pound person running at the same speed will burn 745 calories. But keep in mind, your body must burn a few more calories just to keep you warm when you run outside in cold weather.
How can you stay motivated even through the winters to lose that extra flab you gained while being pregnant? Losing baby weight post-delivery is a combination of good dietary practices and exercise. This can be challenging during winter because dropping temperatures, morning fog and occasional rains make exercising outside difficult. This is a time when you'd rather be in bed and enjoy that extra hour in the warm bed cuddled close to your little one rather than put on your running shoes and venture out. Add to this food cravings and coughs and sniffles—just enough to derail your well planned fitness regime.
