What inspired me to be fit


I have gotten asked “how did you do it?” Or “ what do you even eat?” “When do you have the time?” So many times and honestly I make the time and I will tell you why being a mother is beautiful but along with it comes an part where it’s not always rainbow and butterflies and you turn into monster mom where you end up catching yourself in public places acting a hotness with your kid and quite honestly that stress me out .. literally. I started getting anxiety much more after I had my second child I believe it’s the birth control I’m using but then again (tmi) before I had children I had anxiety as well but there were times I was sitting on the couch and I would end up crying to my husband about fears I had and it started to bother me. I was three months post baby when I looked in the mirror and did not like what I saw with Dallas I was able to snap back so quickly (my first baby) this time was a bit harder and I thought in my head wait I’m breastfeeding why aren’t I dropping weight fast enough? It was a mixture of feeling ugly scared so many mixed emotions so one day I got a group on to fit body boot camp where I met some amazing coaches and people I started with my brother and got a lot of support it was amazing and even though those workouts were thirty minutes I walked out sore!!! Sweaty!! And I felt accomplished liked I did something right!

There was something about my heart racing and the sweat dripping down my face that gave me so much push and motivation to do more I eventually put it in my head that I was sweating out all my negative energy and the more I went the better I felt mentally and physically. 25 pounds lighter now and doing workouts solo at a regular gym and still finding joy in working out, nutrition. Is also key in your healthy lifestyle also I don’t deprive myself of food I just make better choices and with two little ones running around I need to eat to keep my energy up. I’ve noticed deep changes in my body developed muscle and I’m smaller than I was before I had Dallas lol crazy but I also have noticed that I have a lot of energy I’m getting less anxiety and sleep better it’s honestly hard leaving the kids though I feel bad when I drop them off but I am lucky to have support from my mom and mother n law who help me watch them while I’m going crazy at the gym I need that hour for myself.

While Dallas is at school I’ve been running with the baby in the stroller and adding more cardio has been amazing it’s my time to think deal with my public paranoia another topic I will soon discuss and made me feel so good and it gets the baby out the house to see something different moms I cannot stress this enough get out the house especially the stay at home moms because staying indoors will drive you nuts!!! So what drove me to be healthy??? My mental health has a lot to do with it to be honest but working out has given me something to enjoy to help me better myself and be able to be crazy with my kids. (These pictures were taken yesterday) I took Dallas on a three mile run /walk and it was fun and after celebrated with frozen yogurt so it doesn’t have to be a gym where you can be healthy it can be a park or a trail but I’m excited to be posting more about my journey and what life has to throw at me.

Quarantine and pregnant

Quarantine and pregnant  Today at 7:36 AM When  I got pregnant this year I pictured something very different I pictured hanging out with my family and doing fun stuff enjoying the summer with my boys and beach days before the new baby is born and then the pandemic hit.. it was like reality smacked everyone in the face. I was so used to waking up and having my kids on a schedule with soccer games and practice and game days not to mention waking up for school and our fave park days with friends it was a weekly thing and my kids are energizer bunnies they literally keep going and going so tiring them out with a whole day of activities honestly helped .. a lot. Not only with my kids but myself I struggle with anxiety a lot and it seriously kept my mind in check my thoughts organized and not all over the place. Fast forward to school closing down and everything being closed it was new it was sad I tried making the best of it at first yes were in this together family time i ordered ...

Fitness must haves that hype me up

Hey everyone!! Okay I wanted to write about what my must haves for the gym are because last time I went I noticed more women though that they had a bag or something along with them I honestly don’t use lockers at my gym I’d rather throw everything in my backpack and just go but I don’t carry a million things just a few and one starting lately is my pre workout!!! I was always so scared to try because I have heard many people tell me it’s so intense and it makes your heart race but recently my first pre workout has been from sweet sweat and it’s amazing I use half a scoop only!!! That’s all I need and I’m seriously sweating my ass off  and I’m focused and most of all there’s no crash and I feel like I kill it every time! It taste like fruit punch and goes down easy too nothing gross but within minutes after drinking  I start to feel the focus coming in, Product number two!! My waist trainer!! Ok now when I was like three to four months post baby I wore these like cray and ...

The day I became a mother of two

December 5,2017 is the day my life changed ..again but in so many different ways this whole pregnancy was a little harder for me not medically but because I literally was chasing after a toddler the whole time and not just some normal toddler this is Dallas ..come on so I was on my feet the whole time which was a good thing considering I didn't get super huge like I did the first time around and he kept me pretty active and I took advantage of all the sleeping in and nap times because I was mentally preparing for the sleepless nights but other than that everything ran pretty smoothly I wasn't able to blog toward the end only because we had so much family over visiting from out of state just to be here for the baby shower t was honestly amazing and my mother in law threw me such a beautiful party my husband and I are truly so blessed and our baby was so spoiled with love. As the due date started getting close I felt myself getting nervous not for a new baby coming because I...
