Fit Yummy Mummy Blog – Post Pregnancy Weight Loss – Flat Tummy Workout

Last night’s Live Video Show with Chat was too fun for words! Here’s a shout out to everyone who was able to make it live and join in on the chat – even my Mom and my sister Carrie logged on! Glad we could also share some laughs ~ especially when I had to run inside to avoid the torrential downpour…wondering if anyone could see my messy house!! All the fun aside, I was also able to cover the 3 Most Important Steps you must take prior to starting your weight loss journey – the 3 steps you MUST NOT SKIP – but so many do and then wonder why the heck they cannot stick to it or why their results suck. Plus I answer dozens of awesome questions, share my own personal tips and advice as do those who were logged in to chat. Oh and here is a Recap of those 3 Steps!

The Power of Fit Yummy Mummy Friendships and Support I had a fun weekend ~ Patrick and I drove to Chicago because I had the chance to speak at the 4th annual Midwest Fitness Symposium. I enjoy sharing what I do with other fitness professionals but the highlight of the event was getting a chance to meet up with Fit Yummy Mummy Denise!

I am so excited to share some big changes for ClubFYM that will take place over the next week!

To help explain exactly what is happening and why, I’ve created a series of daily videos.

~ Your Friend and Coach,

Today was Tyler’s first day at his new school. With all the pep talks and preparation associated with our move…new school, new friends, new routine, etc. you’d think we’d all be overly ready for this day….and most of us were! Okay – I admit, it was me who did not consider how tender my heart would be after leaving Tyler this morning. I just kept thinking what it must be like in his shoes. Then I realized that we’ve all been there at one time or another in our lives. Especially when it comes to starting a new fitness program! While the end results are super exciting… staring something NEW has the potential to bring on a whole new set of anxieties! Change is HARD! The “What If’s” begin to take hold and for many, this is the stopping point. I found it interesting that many of the strategies we as parents can use to help ease the transition for our children, also apply to us when we are about to embark on a new fitness program. Getting started is the hardest part so here are 4 ways to Make it Easier! 1. Give yourself something to look forward to. While the end results may take some time to achieve, you can still set mini goals and mini rewards to keep you motivated and on track each day of the week. “I will choose to pack my lunches this week and schedule a manicure this weekend.” 2. Give yourself a head start. Get off to the best possible start on that first day by clarifying your goals, mapping out your meals, getting plenty of sleep and preparing a nutritious breakfast. 3. Make it FUN! Turn the apprehension of starting something new into a fun discovery – get to know more about YOU! “How many push ups can I do today?” When you turn your focus away from the dreadful remarks of the scale and instead focus on the progress of your own strength, performance and technique you will find yourself looking forward to your next workout! 4. Talk About It Support is the #1 factor of your weight loss success. Be sure you have someone on your side that you can turn to for answers to your questions or to simply seek out encouragement. ~~ In just a couple of hours I will be picking Tyler up from school. I am too excited to hear all about it! While I was the one who had difficulty this morning, I know I have set him up to succeed for he has learned all the skills he needs along the way. The same is true for the women I work with who proudly assume the title of Fit Yummy Mummy. They have before them a blueprint – a step by step guide that shows them the straight path to weight loss results. www.FitYummyMummy.com And if you were to ask any one of them – they too will admit, that getting started is the hardest part. But when you have the right tools before you and the support to encourage and motivate you – results are inevitable. It is my hopes that at this point in the year, you are confident in the progress you are making with your fitness program.
