Pregnancy!!

Since becoming pregnant a few months ago, it seems my world has been turned up side down. My expectations of myself have had to change, as my energy levels have been all over the place, and the nausea is horrible. I can't seem to get a grip on food at the moment. I will get a craving, eat it and then be very let down to find that I really didn't want what I thought I did. Sigh... For someone who was in a good place with food before the pregnancy, this has been difficult to deal with. Nothing seems to make me feel better. BLAH!!

My last pregnancy was 10 years ago. Although I struggled with energy levels during that pregnancy, it was not quite this bad and I really never was sick in my stomach at all. So this experience is a whole new ball of wax for me.

As a fitness Coach this has made my life a little bit more difficult. As I want to remain a good example of health, fitness and nutrition for the people I work with. I am just starting to get a handle on all the changes that my body is currently going through, so I can be more consistent and realistic with my own expectations of myself.

Since I know my energy levels tend to dip, my fitness schedule is now changing to every other day. I am still going to do the occasional Turbo Fire routine (when I feel up to it), but have opted to be more consistent with my Brazil Butt Lift program for the next few months. BBL will help keep my weak areas sculpted and toned, while helping me to burn fat, without causing me to use all my energy stores and become a slug for several days afterward. LOL!!

With nutrition I have had to change my supplement routine. I love Shakeology, but it is not hitting the mark like it used to. So I only drink it a few times a week and supplement with a pre-natal when I don't drink it. Man I can't wait for these weird food issues to go away!! Lord I hope they don't last the entire pregnancy!

Besides the few problems I am running into, I am loving being pregnant again. Watching the changes that are happening to my body is always really neat! I am so glad that this time around I am in a much healthier place. My last pregnancy I was already packing on the fat, and this time around things are going much better in that area! Yay!!

Planning meals out ahead of time should not make you want to cross your eyes and faint at the thought! It's actually pretty simple when you think about it. It just takes a few minutes. Over time you will get better and better at it too! So the time you spend in the future on this project will be less and less.

The DECISION is YOURS

This really hit home with me when I read it. It reminded me of how I used to behave, feeling victim of our situations and helpless to change our circumstances. It didn't matter if we had made a poor decision and had consequences do to those poor decisions or someone else was causing us troubles... I would focus on the negative and cause myself to be self defeated so that I would feel validated for more poor decisions. Thankfully I had a "Come to Jesus" moment and my eyes were opened to what was really going on. When I was able to see clearly, take owner ship of my mistakes, let go of the past and started reading the Bible regularly I was able to over come the head trash and started making better choices for myself. My health, positive thoughts, relationships, jobs, income and consistency improved. So whatever has been holding you back you are capable of overcoming and making a better life for yourself! #motivation #inspiration
