It's been 3 months since I last attempted a workout, and after I did I ended up hurting for 3 days and need a chiropractic adjustment. So I gave up, every time my mind has considered it, I have allowed TONS of Excuses to Stop ME from attempting it again.
Yet my Mind Yearned for the Post workout High, the Accomplishment I feel after completing a good sweaty workout. The Mental Clarity it provides me, and one of my Favorite ways to De-Stress. I mean lets' face it, pregnancy, kids, finances, house work all bring large amounts of stress weekly.
Well this weekend I took my family off the Grid for 48 hours and we went camping with some friends 2 hours away from home and ZERO cell service. It Felt fantastic to be surrounded by people I love and the Incredibly beautiful Creations God's placed on this earth for us to Enjoy.
My soul was so refreshed and Ready to PUT my excuses aside, make a plan, easy into it if necessary but GET Back to MY ME TIME of Exercise along with my spiritual and personal development. I need to be able to make it through these next few months Strong and Ready for a new addition to our family, and right now most days I just feel frazzled, like I am simply surviving the day.
So Today was the day, I Threw out all the excuses and Pushed Play, put a SMILE on my face even when my legs and arms were shaky and LOVED every second of the 3rd Trimester Prattle workout I did. The Post workout high is flooding me with JOY, Accomplishment, and I am just feeling GOOD!
Today Marks the 6 month point in my 4th pregnancy and I've only gained 12lbs, I would love it if I can keep it under 25lbs throughout the whole time, but with my appetite increasing and lack of exercise I knew this was One More reason I needed to make it a priority again.
Losing weight after a baby is Flipping HARD, I know!!! With my first I gained 50lbs, with my 2nd two 40lbs and it took me years to get that weight/fat off my body and build back up my muscles to be able to be FIT, and STRONG and Feel Great.
