My Postpartum Fitness Journey

My Postpartum Fitness Journey

I have been getting a lot of messages saying I already bounced back. To tell you all the truth, It may look it but I am still a work in progress. I still cannot fit my wedding ring, I still have the mommy tummy lose skin, this leggings is just so helpful hiding it here very well.

The reason I wanna talk about this is that, I want you all to know first we are all beautiful in any size and shape. We all wanna look good and feel better, and making sure we doing it for our self and then for others (my kids and family) They all depend on us and if we are not healthy how can we give them all.

And then I got pregnant, I started healthy and lost it on my 3 months before giving. My OB GYN kept on telling me that my baby is smaller than my other 2 babies and then I got scared so I thought if I eat more and also a lot of sweets and I literally ate everything. So fast forward 3 months postpartum. I went for my annual primary care check up. Then we found out that my cholesterol is slightly elevated. She recommended low fat diet and exercise, then it got to me that I really need to work on my health and get it back.

That being said I am really working on getting at least 3 times a week. It is really a struggle even though we have help I still fall short sometimes. I also working on meal prepping so I already have my food prepared which makes it even easier. We just lost my father last year because of heart attack and that made me think I really need to work on my health to be able to spend more time with family.

I started my fitness journey when I got introduced with Body boss method when I partnered with them, And ever since then I started working on it and I feel the best having all the energy to be able to play with the kids. Not just then they launched their meal plan.

I got into a good habit after that and now I just have to get it back. Even better this time. My husband and I are helping each other so we can get to workout. I am not really a morning person so I workout when I get home. My husband will watch Andi so I can workout and the we switch so he can also work out. Luckily if she is sleep then both of us can workout together then Adi and Aidan will also go to the gym.

We are lucky to have a home gym. The previous owner added this extension at the back of the house and left us with all their strengthening machine. We just added the threadmill and elliptical, TV for Zumba and the punching bag.

I have not gotten back to my pre pregnancy weight but I am feeling stronger and energetic. I am slowly getting it back and that really makes me feel good.

I hope I was able to inspire you all specially the mamas out there that working out is not just vanity. It is really a good lifestyle than you can give to yourself and your family.

Thank you all for stopping by and see you again on the next blog post.

Simply,

Christianne
