Fitness Update: How I Stay in Shape as a Mom

April 30, 2018

FacebookTwitterPinterestMixEmail

I wanted to share a fitness update with you all since we’re already months into the new year and I know so many of you set health and fitness goals for 2018. In January I did my first Whole30 and absolutely loved the experience. While I have not stuck to a Whole30 diet I have been trying to make conscious decisions about my meals. They aren’t always healthy but I try to be cognizance of what I’m eating and when/why I make bad decisions when it comes to food.

I notice that my unhealthy choices typically happen when I’m not prepared. This includes when I’m running low on food in the fridge or out running errands and I didn’t pack any snacks. I think being conscious of what you’re eating and why is the first step to improving and making healthy choices easier for yourself.

As for working out and staying in shape, I’ve been scheduling time to go to the Bay Club 2-3 times a week. Since they have daycare and Mason is now super comfortable, I know I won’t be called mid-workout to come and pick him up. That did happen a few times at first because he wouldn’t stop crying. I am so happy now that I know if I make the effort to workout and get myself to the club that I’ll be able to workout.

I’ve mainly been taking group classes like Bodypump and yoga but also like to get into the spin room when there isn’t a class going on. I just had a one-on-one pilates class and it totally reminded me of how much I used to love going to pilates. I definitely think I’ll be scheduling around those classes for the rest of our time in San Jose.

But besides taking classes at the gym I’ve been trying to be outside with Mason. If it’s just going for a walk and pushing him in the stroller or chasing him at the park. That can be pretty good cardio! Between running around with him in the grass or pushing him on the swing or helping him around the jungle gym. Also, getting in some pool time with him has been a lot of fun! Since he can’t swim yet holding him up in the water while swimming around is super easy on my muscles but is a good way to engage my core.

I’d love to hear what you all do to stay in shape and how you keep it fun! I’m all about keeping my workouts fun and keeping an active lifestyle inclusive of Mason definitely helps.

You've got a friend in me You've got a friend in m You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
When the road looks rough ahead
And you're miles and miles
From your nice warm bed
You just remember what your old pal said
Boy, you've got a friend in me
Yeah, you've got a friend in me

You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
You got troubles, I've got 'em too
There isn't anything I wouldn't do for you
We stick together and see it through
'Cause you've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me

Some other folks might be
A little bit smarter than I am
Bigger and stronger too
Maybe
But none of them will ever love you
The way I do
It's me and you, boy

And as the years go by
Our friendship will never die
You're gonna see it's our destiny
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me

5 Top tips for doing Disneyland with young kids: 5 Top tips for doing Disneyland with young kids:

1. Buy lightning lane passes!! Sign up for Disney Genie and get your lightning lane passes. Yes it’s more money on top of your already expensive tickets BUT you can maximize your time at the parks! Especially with young kids where you’re going to need to take breaks during the day for nap time. This way you can do more each day without the stress or wait in long lines.

2. When you get to the ride do a rider swap. That way your child who is tall enough to ride gets to go twice. Once with each parent while the other stays back with the baby or children too small to ride.

3. As soon as they scan your lightning lane pass for the ride book your next one while you wait in line. (Even though the line and wait is significantly shorter you’ll still have time to see what you can go on next.)

4. Take advantage of the Disney PhotoPass photo opportunities around the park as a family since the pictures are included with the purchase of your daily lightning lane passes.

5. Remember to go with the flow and have fun making memories at the most magical place on earth!

It was a challenge to capture even a few milestone pictures as Cooper didn't want to stay still and I didn't want his birthday starting off with him crying while trying to snap a few pics...so this is the best we got before all the festivities started.
