Five years ago, I was the best shape of my life. I consistently made it to the gym every day, ate healthy and got plenty of sleep. I never understood how it could be hard for someone to do these things, because for me it came so naturally.
Fast forward five years and two babies later. About 6 months ago I was in the worst shape of my life with my weight being 170 pounds. After having my son, I returned to the gym with the same fire I previously had and started ordering meals from Fresh ‘N Fit Cuisine. I started off with their Paleo menu but switched to their Custom plan and have been on that ever since.
After about five months, I lost 40 pounds and was almost back to my pre-pregnancy weight. But in April I traveled to Colorado and unfortunately completely cheated on my diet. In the time since then I’ve had ups and downs and it has become harder to find that motivation to stay on track. I haven’t made it to the gym as much as I should, and in addition to my Fresh ‘N Fit meals, I haven’t been watching my macros as strictly as I normally have. I’ve felt like I have been trapped in someone else’s body for the last month.
It is time for a change! It’s time to establish a new routine and stick to it. I’ve recently signed up at Lifetime fitness where they have babysitting with the goal of relieving some of the stress that came from bringing my son and having to watch him while I was at my CrossFit classes.
I also want want to incorporate new things into my fitness regimen like Yoga, Pilates and some of the other classes I have never tried. Fortunately, Fresh ‘N Fit Cuisine’s meals have remained the constant throughout my trials and tribulations.
