Balancing act | Fit mom How to.

January 17, 2017

Let me start by saying something - there are almost always dishes in my sink, I haven't washed my hair in a few days, and I haven't executed a single toddler DIY project this year. Now that we have that out of the way I want to shed a little light on how I balance fitness, life and motherhood.

There are some days I know, it just won't happen. Period. Which is why I try to plan accordingly. I workout 5-6 times per week. 3 of those workouts can be done from home, two I prefer to do in the gym. I schedule my workouts on Sunday for the upcoming week. In order to make my workouts a priority I plan my workouts like important meetings. Without planning the weeks would fly by and my workouts would be pushed to "when I have time". 

While most Mothers know getting personal time can be an absolute luxury. I try to workout with a friend one time a week so I can get my girl time in while doing my workout. Two birds- one stone. I get girl talk in while also simultaneously getting my sweat session done. 

No gym? No problem! -30 Side Step Shuffle -10 Squats with Alt Kick Backs -10 Jump Lunges -10 Jump Squats -10 High Knees Dance party optional 😂👌🏽💃🏼 Repeat this circuit 3-5x depending on your level. #homeworkouts_4u

Pressed for time? Opt for a HIIT workout. High intensity interval training alternates bursts of fast paced intensive work with active rest for a quick fat burning workout. This will save you time while still giving you an effective workout. 

HIIT WORKOUT

  • 30 SIDE STEP SHUFFLE 
  • 10 SQUATS WITH ALTERNATING KICK BACKS 
  • 10 JUMP LUNGES 
  • 10 JUMP SQUATS
  • 10 HIGH KNEES 

REPEAT 3-5 TIMES DEPENDING ON YOUR LEVEL 

 

 

 

Make meal planning a priority. We all know how unpredictable life can be in general. Add a little one to the mix and you really have some variables on your hands. Plan, prep and pack your meals ahead of time so when you are busy making memories with your child you won't be left eating what your toddler leaves behind. Prep your meals 1-2 times per week to ensure you have the healthy meals you need in and out of the house. 

Remind yourself that something is better than nothing. Even if you only walked to the park or just did a 15 min workout. Celebrate each small victory! Did you opt or water instead of soda? CELEBRATE! Little actions towards your greater goal adds up in a big way. Start gradually by adding a walk after dinner each night or 1-2 workouts per week. Remember we all start as beginners. Honor your starting point. It's okay if you aren't perfect, just start. 

Last but not least- give yourself some credit! Raising humans is hard work! Take a minute to give yourself a pat on the back super mom. 

KEEP GOING,

KAT

Muscle imbalances are 100% normal. Single side movement allows you to correct, the imbalance by focusing on one side at a time.

Correct the imbalance with the 2:1 method. Perform 2 sets of single leg exercises with the weaker leg and only one set with the stronger leg.

The glass of wine here and there and the ice cream doesn’t have to go.😝🍦🍷 It’s not about what you need to cut out, but the portion. Then balancing treats with foods that will nourish and satiate you the rest of the time.🥦🥑🍠🥚 If you are not getting the right balance of macronutrients you will not see the progress you want. Flexible dieting gives you complete control over what you eat.

It will change your perception about nutrition since you will mostly stop seeing food as good or bad but as macronutrients only. Macros will tell you exactly how much protein, carbs and fat you should eat.🤓

Is this you? ➡️Hardcore on point with your diet all week and then binging on the weekend? 🍪🍻🍟🍕🌭 Sorry sis, you are doing it wrong.🤷🏼‍♀️ Trying to going 100% hardcore clean/sad chicken/ diet meals is a one way ticket to rebounding.It’s not about cutting out the foods you love. It’s learning how to balance your intake and the output of movement.

So many women struggle with eating because we have demonized food that is healthy. We have been fed so much misinformation that women are afraid to eat fruit. We haven’t been taught the basic fundamentals of how to feed ourselves.

I don’t want to inspire you to get skinny. I want to help you take really great care of yourself. I want to guide you in making healthier decisions, in getting stronger and to loving yourself more. It’s not about what you lose, but the life you can gain.

Stop buying in to the fad diets, the fear and the placebos. 👋🏼😝It’s not about cutting out the foods you love. It’s learning how to balance your intake and the output of movement.

Flexible dieting gives you complete control over what you eat. It will change your perception about nutrition since you will mostly stop seeing food as good or bad but as macronutrients only. I will tell you exactly how much protein, carbs and fat you should eat.

If you are struggling with seeing progress, I suggest taking a look at your caloric balance! I recommend my clients track macros in order to learn about the breakdown of the foods they are eating.⤴️Click the link in my bio to join ⤴️
After almost two weeks straight of morning sickness🤮👍🏼. I am happy to report I’m finally feeling better.⁣
⁣
Not puking all day combined with some self care has me feeling like a whole new women. 🥰⚡️⁣
⁣
Shower, shaved my legs AND managed to put real clothes on!( can we say #momvictory!? )💃🏼
⁣
As soon as I took the 15-20 min to freshen myself up I started to feel like me again. ⁣💆🏼‍♀️
⁣
I know with #Momlife it’s tough to carve out time for you. But honestly, it’s essential. It’s so easy to get caught in the sweat pants rut. Make time for you. Even if it’s just taking the time to put on mascara. ⁣
⁣
⁣
Self care doesn’t have to be expensive or complicated. It can simply be taking that little be of extra time on yourself that you totally deserve. 😘
