Getting Back To Myself #ImGettingFit2014

Having Garrett has really changed my outlook on so many things in life. Life is no longer about me or my husband but rather about this innocent little being that we created. One huge area that has changed for me is health. I'm obsessed with starting to follow healthy habits...both to keep me around longer and to pass them onto Garrett ;) Some of you already know that we've been apart of the Advocare world for about a half of a year now (but using products for years and years) and I can't tell the good that has come out of that already! My husband and I have never felt so good! We use a range of their products and they've certainly weaved their way into our daily routines! There's not a day that goes by that I'm not sipping on some Rehydrate or a Meal Replacement Shake (hello tasty!) And my husband is addicted to their Spark & Slam and usually has a few each day! 

My obsession with the products really started after I gave birth. I gained 30 pounds while pregnant and for someone who has always been on the smaller side that was a lot of weight for me. I wouldn't say I was determined to lose it quick, I was just hopeful. In high school I was on the dance team and worked out like mad and I loved it! I loved the feeling of sweating and getting my heart going...I've since lost that ambition. I entertain the thought of working out but never actually get my tush off the couch. So, I knew when it came to loosing the baby weight it was going to have to be something simple...something easy to do from the comfort of my home while taking care of a newborn. I turned to my Advocare catalog and ordered some Meal Replacement Shakes. With 220 calories, loads of vitamins and 24grams of protein I knew they'd be a quick, easy way to get all my nutrition and make sure I wasn't snacking on junk food. I'd mix up a shake and sip it instead of snacking on junk and the best part? They're tasty and it was so easy to do while breastfeeding, bouncing and burping! #awinformommas

I'm going to be completely honest and let you know that I don't give 100% of the credit of my baby weight loss to Advocare. I know that breastfeeding played a part in it as well. But, between breastfeeding and Advocare I lost every last bit of my pregnancy weight, plus an additional 2 pounds, in less than 8 weeks. And I've kept it off. I now weigh 2 pounds less than I did before I got pregnant and I can't tell you how good that feels. 

While I'm totally happy to have lost my baby weight I'm still wanting more! I'm on a mad hunt for the six pack abs I once had (I think there still hanging out next to my spine from being pregnant) and would love to tone some of the squishy areas left from birth.

Just as I was pondering all of this yesterday I got an email from my dear friend Kaitlyn over at Wifessionals. It was as if this girlie was reading my mind! Together we've put together a little program for y'all and would LOVE if you joined! You don't have to be a new momma at join us! Maybe your just looking to tone up for bathing suit season! Either way we'd love to have you join!
