I personally believe that there's no better time to get motivated and start improving your health and fitness then right now. With the new year starting it is time to start making changes and setting some goals to get you get back in shape and I want to help you along the way.
In August, I gave birth to my first little baby girl. It has been so fun being a new stay at home mom and being able to take care of my baby all day long. Some things I have noticed from having my baby is that I have little to no motivation to get to the gym. After long nights of taking care of my baby, I seem to not have the energy I once had and the couch or bed seems to be calling my name all day long but then again, I think it always has been.
The five ways that I have been using to get the motivation going are:
1.Turning on that jam- there are all types of music out there that really gets me going
2.Not taking a nap or relaxing until I have worked out- this has really helped me so I am motivated to workout so I can get back and take a nap if I need one
3.Putting on my workout clothes and shoes on the first thing in the morning- there is just something about putting the clothes on that gets me wanting to go workout or even buying new workout clothes and shoes can really help!
4.Having a workout partner- I used to live close to my mom and we went to the gym six days a week until I got married, it helps so much having a person right there next to you cheering you on.
5.Having a chart on my refrigerator to remind me each day so I can check it off- having something to look at you in the face everyday really helps me to stay on top of it.
After having my baby I have really had to work harder at losing the weight that I have gained. And let's be honest, no one has a perfect body.. well maybe Jessica Biel (my husbands fav) or Heidi Klum does but the rest of us unlucky people have to work hard to stay fit.
This is my new workout partner with my brand new jogging stroller I got before she was born. I may be biased but I think I got the cutest workout partner out there. ;)
By the way, did I mention I live in such a beautiful place!
I want to hear what you all do to get motivated! So please share!
