How To Lose the Baby Weight

I think this is a question most new moms have. It can be hard to know where to start. I've made a short video to tell you my 3 top tips to reach your goals! Check out the video below and let me know if you have any questions. I love feedback!

How To Stay Motivated

I had a friend ask me how I stay motivated to work out. I hadn't really thought about it lately, it's just kind of turned into a habit for me. But, I've set it up that way. I just don't even think about it anymore, I JUST DO IT. It's important to me.

I think the most important thing is finding workouts I enjoy. I'm huge fan of Chalene Johnson and her workouts. TurboFire is my favorite workout, like, ever! Kickboxing mixed with dancing and it's a huge calorie burner!

Be realistic with your goals and celebrate your success. Know that you won't lose 50 pounds in one month. But, celebrate when you do lose weight. It takes a lot of work! And you should be proud.

And lastly, make time to workout. Make it important to you! I feel so much better when I get my workout in and it helps my whole day go better. I've found a great time for me to workout is when my youngest child takes his first nap. It's the first thing I do when I lay him down. Sometimes he gets up before I'm done, but you know what? 20 minutes is better than nothing, it's still putting you one step closer to your goals!

How To Start Your Own Journey

So, you've made a decision to get healthy, congratulations! Now, where do you start? There are so many things that go into getting healthy and it can get overwhelming. I get it, I've been there. I've had three babies and basically have to start over with my fitness after each birth. So, I've compiled a list of things that helped me.

1. Figure out what kind of exercise you ENJOY! You will have a hard time sticking with something that you dread doing everyday. There's so many different things you can do; walking, running, swimming, exercise classes, dancing. Find a couple things you enjoy and alternate through them so you don't get burnt out.

2. Find a fit friend! This has been crucial for me. If you are starting a new way of life a support system is so beneficial! It can be a spouse, friend, someone from church or even me! Figure out who you can rely on for support and go through this together.

3. Realize that you're not perfect! Seriously, nobody is. There will be days when you miss a workout. There will be days when you fall off the wagon with your eating. But, the most important thing is that you dust yourself off, get up and get back to it.

4. Track your progress! Weigh yourself, take pictures, take your measurements. These things will help you when you feel like you want to give up. Looking back to see how far you've come will be a huge motivator! The picture below is my motivation. It's hard to see how far you've come unless you keep track!
