Mommy Corner Monday: Enjoy Being a Mommy

-
Today for this post I am talking to the mommies to be and the recent new mommies. All I have heard since the birth of my first son was “I know you can't wait to have your baby so you can get your body back”. And two years later it is still the same thing, “I know you can't want to have your body and to get a snap back.” How can I worry about what my body looks like at a time like this?!?!

Your focus should be on the baby. Not about when you're going to get back into the gym to get back the figure you had pre baby. You should take the time to enjoy this gift that you received the joy of a new life that you created.

My advice to the new mommies out there is to enjoy this time with your new baby. Enjoy bonding with your baby, enjoy getting to know your baby, just enjoy your baby, just enjoy being a mommy, enjoy and relish in the fact that your body just gave birth to a new life. Don't just rush back into the gym until your six week check up and you are cleared by your doctor to return to normal activities. Going back before time you can risk injuring yourself and set your heal time back even further than you were hoping or even thought. Also, lay off the waist trainer until after your doctor gives you the ok to do so. Unless, you have a C-section then they usually give you something at the hospital that looks like a waist trainer to protect your stomach to keep your uterus from protruding and sitting on your stitches after having your baby. Just enjoy those moments and the time will come to get back in the gym and get your body back.

Just enjoy being and everything will fall back into place. With my first son I didn't feel the need to start working out until he was about 4 months and something clicked like ok it's time to start doing something for you to get back in shape. So, I started walking on the treadmill from time to time. And when I returned to work I walked everywhere and took the stairs and started doing yoga. With my second son it didn't click until he was about 6 months it took longer with the second child because the cold weather set in an getting motivated was harder. Something just clicks and you're like it's time.

I know every body is different and every mother is different I’m just saying to enjoy it  because this time is going to fly by so fast. 

 Until next time loves! Also, I put this weeks video up in the post as well. Enjoy!

Easing Back into Blogging

-
I posted my first blog post in some years just the other day. While I was going through my drafts I counted and I have 26 drafts of posts that I have not posted in the all the years I was blogging! At first I couldn’t believe I had so many posts just left there. Then I really thought about I know and understand why they were just left there. Some for reason of “being seen” and others for situations I was dealing with in my life. I didn’t want to start the blog post off with “I’m back!” Or “Yes, I know it been awhile…” I’ve done all of that before only to leave and not post for months or in this case years until now… all I can say is that I am here now.  I wanted to start this month off with easing back into blogging. I want to get use to blogging again and do it with no pressure to post for the sake of posting. I enjoy writing and getting back into the swing of things will show me how much I missed the creative process. I’m unsure if I should use any of those old post at this point...

How A Setback Can Put You in Proper Alignment

I woke up with a cold sore last week Friday and I was filled with so many emotions none of which were happy. I was upset with the fact that I didn’t think the day prior was that stressful but my body told me otherwise. I was upset because that meant I let an event get to me that much that the stress caused this to happen. But, I hadn’t eaten the best that week I had been reminded that I had eaten McDonald’s twice that week (which is something I normally don’t do), my upcoming cycle didn’t help the situation either and the life event was just probably the icing on the cake.   I was disappointed to say the least but I had to sit with the thought of everything happens for a reason. The longer I sat with it the more I thought about how I hadn’t been taking care of myself like I really should in a while now. I remembered some of the stuff I use to do and I wasn’t doing it anymore. Talking with a family member they reminded me that sometimes as a mother you neglect yourself while caring...

A Week in My Life: Take Care of Yourself

-
I’m a little late with this week’s blog post. Well, I am later than I would like to be. I like to have the blog posts out earlier in the week to give you something to read and later in the week something for you to view. And sometimes I just have to let the expectations go because I may have wanted to have the blog post out earlier in the week I am still making a post this week or so I thought. It’s a whole new week now. Since I started back up vlogging and blogging I have been consistent and I want to keep that momentum going. So, I wasn’t expecting to not be feeling well last week and how it shifted my whole week. I woke up Tuesday with my back hurting. I dropped the boys off at school and took the truck to the shop. While sitting the chair the pain in my lower back drifted up my back. After leaving instead of running all the errands I had planned on I ended up just going and laying down. I cannot tell you how happy I am that I did. I allowed my body the time to rest and I felt bet...
