Fit Hot Mama

My goal is to be a fit, hot, mama. I am using this blog as motivation, inspiration and accountability. I love working out and I want the awesome body I had before I had my second child but it has been harder than heck to stay on track...but not anymore! I turn 30 this year and my goal is to start my next decade fit and hot!

muffintop-less: I’m asked literally every day “how long it will take to see results”. The truth is… it depends. It depends on where you are starting with your own fitness level… it depends on how intensely and INTELLIGENTLY you are training (length of time is less important than how hard you’re pushing yourself), it depends on how well you are eating, it depends on how much water you’re drinking, the supplements you’re taking, the amount of sleep you’re getting and how much stress you are allowing to effect you.  Want to see results in a short amount of time without going to harmful extremes? Here are my tips: Lift heavy weights.. or even moderate ones. If you want your muscle-building or “toning” results to take YEARS instead of months, by all means stick to the little 3 pound beauty bells. If you want results within MONTHS or in some cases even WEEKS, lift heavy. Challenge yourself. Start with a weight you can lift for 8-12 reps with proper form. If you can do more than 12 reps, the weight is too light. Eat CLEAN.. stop kidding yourself. I say that bluntly because many women (I myself am guilty) try to convince ourselves that things we do are ok or healthy. Those 100 calorie snack packs? They’re not good for you and they’re not doing your waistline any favors! Throwout the packaged, processed, junk food and stick to clean, natural, wholesome foods. You’ll feel energized, healthy, and your body, skin and attitude will GLOW.  Drink about a gallon of water a day. Stop drinking alcohol! If you’re serious about your health and fitness, this won’t be an issue. Try to get your 8 hours of sleep. Keep stress levels low by finding ways to relax.. meditation, yoga, bubble baths… when you are stressed, raised cortisol levels contribute to abdominal fat storage and can make your health and fitness goals slow considerably.  Stay positive, there will be bumps in the road. You will make mistakes. But every time you “give up” you have to start over and it just sets you back more time. If you mess up on a meal, fix it the very next meal!
