Workout Wednesday

Welcome to Workout Wednesday! I mean lets be real we all could use the motivation because really its hard to work out EVERY DAY. So Wednesdays Daisy to the rescue! I will be posting what my workout looks like for Wednesday and you can comment what you are doing or follow along. Lets get started!

Inspire Your Children to workout

 

My kids are 4 and 6 years old and they are like sponges. Although I wish I would do everything perfect I don't I get some things wrong. Everyday they see Mama working out and Daddy running they know we do this everyday except on rest days. We try to instill in them that a daily workout routine is just as important and lets say a bath. lol. We have been on this workout journey for about 5 years now and they have been there every step of the way. When Ryan showed an interest in boxing I know that him seeing us workout helped him see that working out is okay and that in order to reach your goals you have to work hard for them. 

So how do you inspire your children to workout with you without pushing them or making them.

Simple you just do you and they will follow. They only one I tell he has to workout is Ryan because he is conditioning right now for boxing but before that I did not say to word to join me, they just did. Stacy occasionally will just run up and say I wanna workout let me bring more water and a snack. lol! She is my snack buddy! Yesterday she even brought me a cold banana and yogurt!

Once they see you and how you don't give up they will want to join in on that experience. I workout solely at home so they see it everyday. I remember my Dad would always workout and now he is 67 years old and came to visit a couple of weeks ago and he worked out every other day, it was still inspiring. Lead by example. 

Thanks for stopping by I would love to hear some feedback so please leave a comment when you get a chance, Thank you!

My Mommy Body

I am so upset at my mommy body right now! Let me give you it's back story! LOL!

I use to play volleyball and dance in college and I was extremely active and fit. Somewhere along the way I fell in love and got married. When I had my first child I did not plan on loosing any weight because I always knew I would have another one, so why bother right? After I had my second child just a little short of a year ago....I thought the weight will magically disappear and I could no longer use my excuse of I am having another soon. Well the weight was here to stay and I am miserable....I am not the person I want to be physically.

DO I want to be stick thin....NOPE! That's why diets don't work for me. What I want I have to work for 100%. I am just stuck in a RUT.  I actually don't even want to be a size 5 or 3, I would be content at a size 8 or 10, instead of the 12-13 I am. It's scary to me to even say numbers.

Today I decided to work out, so I did. Half way through the work out I wanted to stop. I went through it all and then I had a good cry not about the workout, but about my body. I am so disappointed in it and myself. I use to be able to push myself harder. It use to not JIGGLE! It use to be me!

I always try to love myself as I am but I can't because I know I want and expect of myself and I am ready to take the reins back to my body.

So I am starting a FaceBook group with mommy's just like me that need to help keep each other accountable! I will be inviting a trainer to join the group as well as a motivator.The group will be called  mommy bodies: https://www.facebook.com/groups/225709054172962/ I would love to have you join!

Lets take back our bodies!
