To all my moms - It’s time to
break out of that “Mommy” shell and get back to your life
prior to motherhood. It’s possible to be a Sexy Mommy, a
healthier lifestyle makes you a Healthier and Happier Mom!!!
It’s not impossible to get your
Sexy back, but you have to take that first Leap. It’s not a
step because the gap is wide, a new healthy journey will
take a LEAP of faith to change the unhealthy lifestyle we’ve
all so graciously accepted!
I always say if you’re happy in
your unhealthy lifestyle and have no wishes of ever losing
weight or to become more active, by all means celebrate your
lifestyle. But if you’ve ever looked in the mirror and said
I really want/need to do something about this weight, I want
to get rid of this belly, or I’m tired of feeling tired –
then get out there and get your Sexy back. No matter your
age - it’s possible!
Start by making small changes.
Prepare simpler meals. For the most part, eat your foods in
their natural state. In other words, eat a baked potato, not
scalloped potatoes.
Eat lean meats, fresh fruits and
vegetables. Avoid canned vegetables they’re loaded with salt
and canned fruits are loaded with sugar. Eat frozen, or
fresh if possible.
Drink water, water, and more
water. Avoid soda. You can cut hundreds of calories by
switching to water: add sliced lemons, limes, various fruits
for extra flavor.
Move, move, move! Move your
sexy body. No matter how tired you are, get up! Start by
promising yourself to walk at least 30 minutes a day, every
day. Make it part of your daily routine, like brushing your
teeth. A good cardio workout will deliver true cardio
benefits.
Walk at a pace where you’re
mildly breathless but can carry on a conversation. For
example, I prefer to walk by myself so I can walk with my
music blasting in my ears. If I’m able to sing while
inhaling through my nose and exhaling through my mouth, I’m
walking at a good pace. If I can sing continuously without
breathing correctly, I’m not walking fast enough.
On the other hand, if I can’t
catch my breath to speak a sentence, or sing at all, I won’t
be able to maintain the same intensity for my entire walk -
it’s too high. I then slow down and breathe, inhale through
the nose, exhale out the mouth, and get back on track!
Motivate others to join you. Ask
someone to share this new healthy lifestyle with you. But be
forewarned, that same person may begin this journey with
you, but more than likely won’t end it with you. It’s always
nice to have a partner during the beginning stages of
fitness, but a healthier lifestyle requires commitment. So I
always suggest to new clients…..encourage someone to begin
this fitness journey with you, but don’t let that person’s
lack of commitment or dedication overpower your desire to
get healthier and fit. DO YOU!!!
Don’t let Excuses prevent you
from reclaiming your Sexy! If it’s raining – walk with an
umbrella, walk in the mall. Spare me the infamous excuse: “I
don’t like to sweat my hair out.” Frankly, I don’t know of
anyone who has died from a sweaty head of hair, but I do
know of many who have suffered a heart attack or stroke from
lack of activity, obesity, high blood pressure, etc., which
for the most part could have more than likely been prevented
by living a healthier lifestyle. Once again…..No Excuses, do
You!!!
Offer no apologies for taking
the time to exercise. Be proud of your healthier choices!
Not everyone will like your choices, but realize, whoever is
trying to squash your healthier lifestyle is probably very
comfortable with you the way you are and doesn’t want you to
change. Your change makes them uncomfortable.
So clearly – their issue is not
your issue, so don’t fall for it. Offer no apology for
choosing to eat healthier, to exercise and to be healthy!
Self-preservation is the magic fountain of youth. Everyone
should do something for their health daily.
