Wow, last time I posted on here, this little man was the size of a cantaloupe in my belly 🙈 and here we are 6 MONTHS old 😭
I have been loving motherhood so far 🙌 it has been the hardest, most challenging journey I have been on, but by far the most rewarding 🥰
-
I started doing some of my own mobile PT sessions with previous clients who have kids as the COVID-19 restrictions eased and it was safe to do so, and we have both been thoroughly enjoying that 😍 Charlie gets to interact and play with other little humans and I get to work and socialise with adult humans, we are both winning 🙌
-
Now that gyms are open, Jordan and I did our first workout together last night 💪 about 2 months ago my Mum and Sister moved in with us following some tragic family circumstances, so looking on the bright side, we have babysitters at home most of the time now 😅 once he’s down for a sleep, I’m free to leave the house 👌
-
I actually was hanging to get back to the gym whilst I was waiting for my postpartum doctors clearance, and I went a handful of times and HATED it. I felt like a fish out of water, I was in an environment that I’m usually super experienced in and my fitness was at an all time low, I was over weight and worst of all, weak 😫
-
I’m still weak and unfit, but I’m back to the weight I was before pregnancy. My body composition is completely different though, and I feel like this is quite typical. Iv lost so much muscle mass, and I especially notice it on my bottom half 😫 🍑
-
So my goals are:
💪 To build strength, and gain muscle mass.
💪To rehab my weaknesses (weak wrists, one shoulder tighter/weaker than the other, my core 😫 which affects my lower back sometimes now too)
💪 To be consistent and actually look forward to my workouts (👈👈👈 this one is so important for me)
-
I think it’s super important when setting goals for yourself for them to be realistic and achievable. For me, setting a goal based on how I want my body to look doesn’t work. I don’t care enough 🤣 And I love food too much 😏
For me it has to be about how I FEEL. So I want to feel STRONG, and have more ENERGY.

What are your goals for the second half of 2020?
