Why I chose health and fitness…

So I honestly struggled with weight management after I gave birth. Not because I could not loose baby weight, but because of the constant cravings I had after I stopped breastfeeding. I also did not realize how difficult it was to find a female trainer who had a body to envy that  had a child, especially by cesarean. That was important because getting in shape after a c section can be difficult. People want to hire someone that knows the struggle. So, when I could not find one, I became one. I studied hard and trained hard. My next mission was to work with nutrition. In order to have an effective fitness program, you must have the food in order. Therefore, I became a weight management (nutrition) consultant. Like the fancy name, huh! Me too 🙂 So there you have it, I became the thing that I was looking for. I do not just do it, i live it. I love what I do, because it makes people happy and that makes me happy! Shout out to all the fitness and nutrition specialist, our goal is to make everyone happy, one jumping jack at a time!!

Aches and Pains

So….. My workout today was kind of intense. In addition to my normal cardio, resistance squats and lungs, and weight training, In addition I added a few new ones.

20Ib weighted squats and calf raises (50)
Barbell lifts (25)
Stair master (10 minutes on level 52)
The norm is 2-3 miles on a cross training machine, 100 resistance squats, 100 resistance lunges, fast fit (weight training machines that target the whole body), and three AB machines (2 reps, 25 times each)

Needless to say, I’m in pain, but it’s all worth it!! No pain, no gain!!!

Breakfast-I had oatmeal and orange juice with Belvita oat biscuits. Lunch-I had a Asian wings with a spinach salad and water. Snack- Protein shack with oatmeal. Haven’t had dinner yet, will keep you posted!
Since I’m breastfeeding, I never diet, but I am very mindful of what I eat. This is especially important because I’m a foodie! I love to eat so I find great meals and love when people give new ideas. So if you have them, let me know so I can share and enjoy!

Post baby Body Movement

The biggest concern for most mothers that I know, is the weight-loss after baby. How many of us count the 6 weeks down until the doctor says those glorious words “you are free to return to exercise”!! I was ecstatic! When you are breastfeeding you may still get cravings and you have to maintain food habits and no dieting. So there goes carb cutting and instantly deleting whole food groups. No crazy crash diets or drinking lemonade and cayenne pepper everyday (would never try anyway). So what is next???? A great workout routine. I have established the perfect routine for me to whip myself back into shape without dieting. In fact I am an avid snacker, so I added foods 😉
My only goal is to tone up what I have.
I love post baby bodies because giving birth gives what I call the “grown woman body”. Funny right?? It seems as if no matter how old you are, your body becomes grown after the first child. Well at least mine did, I gained close to 40ibs. So I put myself on a 5 week challenge just to see how well I can do without doing a crazy celebrity diet and to give myself extra motivation with a timeline. I will keep you posted! If you are a mom and want to a do the challenge as well, climb on board!!
