It’s really, really hard to lose some weight after pregnancy. Specially when your husband can eat the whole world and be always thin.

But, the Web has great resources to help us, such as My Fitness Pal. They have a calorie counter to help you to reach your goals, forums where you can find people with the same problems and motivate each other.

They show you how many calories in food, and have a calorie chart to help you in your diet.

Lose weight require auto-discipline, motivation, attitude, healthy habits, exercises, and control. And My Fitness Pal’s free calorie counter is just what I need to achieve my goals.

Specialists always say that walking 1 to 2 miles per hour for 20 minutes three times a week increases the rate at which your body metabolises abdominal fat. But those who exercise in addition to following a balanced diet will be pleasantly surprised to discover a 17 percent decrease in the size of their abdominal fat cells and their girth. In contrast, the diet-only group saw a decrease of less than 1 percent.

So, the best thing to do is ally exercise and diet. And My Fitness Pal can help you. It’s like a food diary, where you can add your daily meals, your exercises, your measures and track your progress.

Have children is extremely educational. I realized that my understanding of the world after have kids have been full of new discovers.

When you have kids, you start to see the world completely different.

For example, when you go shopping or out for dinner. First you looked to see clothes, shoes, nice restaurants and bars, now you are looking for disabled ramps, baby facilities, and kid’s menu.

When you drive, you don’t like high speed any more. In fact, you drive slowly, so that way, your baby‘ll fell sleep.

Do you think people who make children’s programmes on TV like Telettubies and Barney don’t know what they are doing? Wrong. They really know what they are doing. You can try to put your baby in front a television to watch one of those shows. He’ll eat anything you put near his mouth.

Are you thinking about give a gift to some kid? Maybe you could give a robot, or a remote control car, or the new Barbie doll. Wrong. The best toy they’ve ever had could be a TV’s cardboard box or a plastic spoon.

Ok, maybe you are wondering: So, how can parents have some fun with a 6-years-old and a 13-months-old? With anything. Have small children is the best excuse ever to do everything you wanted to do and couldn’t since you are a grown one:

- play with remote controlled trains

- pretend you are a Jedi

- free your internal child

- Make funny faces

- rethink your life with a child’s eye

- collect leaves

- bounce for a while

- visit the Zoo

- join a bookclub

- cook something

- get a ride

- sing songs

- act a play

- undust your telescope

- go out for a walk

- talk to the animals

- drive for fun

- make funny noises

- make a snowman

- play with boats

- take your time in a toyshop

- get your luggage and enjoy a trip

- plan a treasure hunt
- pretend you are an astronaut
- visit a fire station,
- do magic tricks,
- throw pennies into the fountain and make a wish.

Enjoy yourselves.

And in the end of the day, when you are completely tired, hide from everybody and go get some sleep…

Whether or not you celebrate Christmas, most likely you’ve got the day off this coming Monday. I hope you’ll spend it doing as little as possible.

Forget the email, the IM, the RSS feeds, the Google searches, what Wikipedia has to say about the origins of Christmas, installing that latest Firefox update or running a defrag. Unplug and enjoy. You made it through another year and you’re wiser, more experienced and best of all - you’re alive. Pat yourself on the back for a job well done, spend some good quality face time with the people you love, and have a very merry happy festive unplugged weekend. We know we will. Happy holidays to you and yours from all of us here at Lifehacker. Back on Tuesday.
