Hey #fitfam. Happy Sunday! So it’s SelfCare Sunday which for me starts with an early morning workout. It’s me telling my body I care about my health most of all. Great start to the day. Idk about you parents out there but I don’t always get time to prioritize myself so I’ve been trying to take however much time I can to nourish my mind and body. Sundays are also my day to get my household ready for the week which means lots of laundry,cleaning, and hairstyling(😅😅). But getting that morning workout gives me the push I need to get through. I hope your weekend was what you needed and that the coming week brings you peace. Happy Sunday. https://www.instagram.com/p/CqQ48ZDvWAkJUAKjfp3HgYGSc4zWAd6OodNmWM0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Uh uh uh a I know it ain’t I know it ain’t @somefitplus!? You know it’s yo girl! 😂😂 Hey #fitfam so where have I been right? Not working out as regularly and at times not at all unfortunately. So this year I had my third child. If you’ve been following me you know that I had back to back pregnancies. This pregnancy with my daughter was a lot more difficult for me. I faced some health complications that I hadn’t with my other two children. Such as: Anemia which meant I had to take iron supplements 3x a day. Gestational diabetes which in my case couldn’t be controlled with diet and exercise alone. I needed to take insult shots every night. There are other issues I faced but those were post pregnancy and I’ll touch on that later. Any who. I’m back to working out finally and I could use the encouragement and tbh I need y’all to help me stay accountable. I’m back 😏😏😉. . . . . . #somefitplus #fitness #fitnessmotivation #fitnessjourney #plussizefitnessjourney #postpartumweightloss (at Omaha, Nebraska) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVYUdbDl8TX/?utm_medium=tumblr

Hey #fitfam today has been a really good day for me. Why, you ask? Well to begin I was able to do a workout at home apart of which includes the @niketraining benchmark workout. I was happy to see that I was able to shave :54 off of my time. I’m getting faster and better. Then for lunch I kept it simple and had a sliced avocado and some salmon. Lots of good fats. I’m taking a breather before I go for my second workout of the day but I’m feeling fabulous. Almost forgot to mention I weighed in at my dr appointment yesterday and I’m 26lbs down already! So yea go me! . . . . . #igfitfam #igfitness #plussizefitness #plussizefitnessjourney #nutrition #healthyfood #workout #somefitplus @somefitplus https://www.instagram.com/p/CCHSib4Fz7g/?igshid=ay7138cswdyz

Hello #fitfam 👋🏽👋🏽 long time no see! I’m finally getting back to myself and 🏋️‍♀️ working out. I gave birth to my beautiful baby boy on May 18th and I have been recovering from his birth since then. So what’s new with me? I’ve already lost a significant amount of pounds since having him and thanks to the sleep I’ve now been able to get over night I feel more like getting back to it. Today’s workout included walking followed by squats,lunges,and jumping jacks in sets of 3/10. I feel energized, refreshed and vibrant! I’m so happy to be back. . . . . #fitness #igfitness #plussizefitness #plussize #somefitplus @somefitplus https://www.instagram.com/p/CBzJLLSlji4/?igshid=1oeunjrfvz3uz

Hello #fitfam and good morning! Today on my breakfast menu was some good ole rolled oats with dates as my sweetener. I’m trying to curb my use of white sugar to sweeten things I eat and so found that using dates is a great healthier alternative. And as a bonus there are studies that show eating 3 medjool dates per day in the last 4 weeks of pregnancy can make for an easier delivery! So it’s a win win in my books 😋😜. I’m so close to holding my son I can’t believe it and as great as that is the thought of running without the limitations has my heart happy too. Thanks for sticking with me. @somefitplus . . . . . #fitness #fitnessjourney #fitpregnancyjourney #igfitness #plussizefitness #healthyfood #dates #medjool #oatmeal #somefitplus https://www.instagram.com/p/B_NRS6JlWvO/?igshid=1isfcnbmtkiky

Good morning 🌞 “#fitfam and #HappyFriday this morning I’m enjoying an açaí smoothie bowl with blue berries strawberries, shredded coconut and granola. I’m in the home stretch of my pregnancy and I’m trying to hang on to what all the healthy eating habits I can. Breakfast is usually easy to maintain because I can grab something or put it together before work with little fuss (as long as I don’t snooze my alarm a zillion times). I’m so ready to have my son and get back to working as fiercely on my journey as I was before. Thanks for hanging in there with me . . . . . . #igfitness #healthyfood #smoothiebowl #somefitplus #plussizefitness #nutrition #fitpregnancyjourney #breakfast @somefitplus https://www.instagram.com/p/B-zKXUvlkf9/?igshid=jrehrprheaux

#FitFam this covid-19 situation has put a damper on a few things. The worst of which is the gym I attend is closed. Why is that so important to me? Being plus size presents it’s own set of challenges for pregnancy and one thing that deeply concerned me was gestational diabetes. I had it during my pregnancy with my daughter and I didn’t want it to again because each time it happens brings me closer to actually having diabetes. This time around I was fortunate enough not to have developed it. I credit that to the changes I made in to lifestyle pre-pregnancy and during. With the gym closes it makes it harder to get a regular workout but that’s where the workouts I told you all about in my last post come in. Today’s cardio absolutely kicked my butt and I am grateful for it. Keeping myself healthy in my last eight weeks is crucial to my sons’s health and a safe delivery. Here’s to another good day in the books. . . . . . #igfitness #fitpregnancy #fitnessmotivation #fitpregnancyjourney #fitness #somefitplus @somefitplus #8monthsdown #8weekstogo https://www.instagram.com/p/B-IzAQ4luzS/?igshid=809yz12rzyxi

Here we are #fitfam #8months into my pregnancy and these workouts are getting harder and harder to maintain but maintain them I must! I found a great workout on Facebook from @amandaontherise and it put me back in the game not to mention I did a guided meditation by her which also helped bring me some calm. I’ve been feeling more anxious with my sons birth coming closer and this pandemic that’s upon us. My body is sore and tired but definitely grateful that I put forth the effort. . . . . . #fitpregnancy #fitness #fitnessmotivation #fitpregnancyjourney #somefitplus #igfitness @somefitplus https://www.instagram.com/p/B-Dhuxol78F/?igshid=19x6xmg3j770j

Hey #fitfam Tonight’s dinner featured lettuce 🥬 wrap burgers 🍔 with sliced cucumbers and a salad. I’m trying to incorporate more vegetables into my daily diet. It was well worth it and so good! I have to figure out some creative ways to get more into my regular menu. . . . . . #firfam #somefitplus #igfitness #fitness #plussizefit #pregnancyjourney #plussizepregnancy https://www.instagram.com/p/B9QQoLGlc5u/?igshid=1144cltuuf5tg

Guess what #fitfam I’m feeling better and better with each workout ( duh right) lol what I’m getting at is I think my little guy is adjusting to the level of activity so it’s making it easier to work out without pain. Right now I focus on leg workouts and arms. Oh but when I have this baby!! Abs abs here we come! Lol 😂 . . . . . . #fitness #fitnessjourney #fitpregnancy #fitpregnancyjourney #igfitness #plussizefitness #plussize #somefitplus https://www.instagram.com/p/B8Flo6iFmWc/?igshid=3s9bg79c92ka

Good evening #fitfam folks this afternoon‘s work out I decided to do some cycling and it felt pretty good I got a mile in and then walked for an additional 20 minutes. I decided to work my triceps and biceps today and I felt really good having done so. . . . . #fitpregnancy #fitpregnancyjourney #igfitness #somefitplus #plussize #plusizefitness #fitness https://www.instagram.com/p/B77MnU-lipY/?igshid=1f2tzjl3p4wz1

My son and I made it to @planetfitness this afternoon. What’s been challenging is letting my mind adjust to my limitations. Before I became pregnant I was enjoying a higher level of physical activity. Going to the gym was like a sanctuary for me. I’d feel sexy, confident and liberated by the fact that I was taking the steps to improve myself. Now it feels necessary more than enjoyable and that’s because of the pains and discomfort I experience during workouts but the silver lining is that I can have a healthier pregnancy and delivery if I continue. I also know that maintaining a regimen will make it easier to come back to it once I give birth. Here’s to looking on the bright side #fitfam . . . . . . #fitnessjourney #fitness #fitpregnancy #fitpregnancyjourney #healthy #exercise #plussize #plussizefitness #igfitness #planetfitness https://www.instagram.com/p/B72V-uflXVf/?igshid=1pz3lpvx4sl32

Good evening #fitfam I did some meal prep this evening. I only did my lunch for tomorrow and the reason for that is if I prep for too many days in advance I tend to not want to eat what I’ve prepared 🤣🤣 so I set myself up with a salad for tomorrow and some fruit as a side. Didn’t take me long at all and just like that I’ve set myself up for success. 💪🏽💪🏽. . . . . . #fitfam #fitpregnancy #fitpregnancyjourney #mealprep #igfitness #fitness #plussizefitness #somefitplus https://www.instagram.com/p/B72VKkLFHZC/?igshid=emzaxmaac4z3

Hey #fitfam I’m getting back on track with what works. Any time I’ve seen success with weight loss and healthy eating it’s been when I was able to track my meals. As a apart of my #fitpregnancy I’m keeping tabs on what I eat and walking more. https://www.instagram.com/p/B71BI8jFV6Q/?igshid=c3jka687u1jf
