Exercise and Pregnancy
I hear often from many women who are either trying to conceive, are already pregnant or after they've had the baby that they quit working out during this season of life because it's bad for you. This is a very common misconception! So I thought I would write a post on this very subject! I've done some research to make sure the guidelines are still the same and I found a great website that outlines some good guidelines to follow during pregnancy. Now I will say as always talk to your doctor and follow their advice. After all they are your doctor for a reason.
Now if you are trying to get pregnant you should continue your regular exercise routine. Stopping before hand will only make it more difficult to maintain during pregnancy. Only back off if you have orders to do so by your doctor otherwise keep at it! It won't prevent you from getting pregnant or make it more difficult.
Guidelines for exercising while pregnant!
If you have been following a regular exercise program prior to your pregnancy, you should be able to maintain that program to some degree throughout your pregnancy. Exercise does not increase the risk for miscarriage in a normal low risk pregnancy.

If you have been following a regular exercise program prior to your pregnancy, you should be able to maintain that program to some degree throughout your pregnancy. Exercise does not increase the risk for miscarriage in a normal low risk pregnancy.
- If you are just starting an exercise program as a way of improving your health during your pregnancy, you should start very slowly and be careful not to over exert yourself. Consider a prenatal yoga class that is specifically designed for pregnant women. (**side note by me: you CAN start an exercise program during pregnancy and this is a great tip for doing so!!**)
- Listen to your body. Your body will naturally give you signals that it is time to reduce the level of exercise you are performing.
- Never exercise to the point of exhaustion or breathlessness. This is a sign that your baby and your body cannot get the oxygen supply they need.
- Wear comfortable exercise footwear that gives strong ankle and arch support.
- Take frequent breaks, and drink plenty of fluids during exercise.
- Avoid exercise in extremely hot weather.
- Avoid rocky terrain or unstable ground when running or cycling. Your joints are more lax in pregnancy, and ankle sprains and other injuries may occur.
- Contact sports should be avoided during pregnancy.
- Weight training should emphasize improving tone, especially in the upper body and abdominal area. Avoid lifting weights above your head and using weights that strain the lower back muscles.
- During the second and third trimesters, avoid exercise that involves lying flat on your back as this decreases blood flow to the uterus.
- Include relaxation and stretching before and after your exercise program.
- Eat a healthy diet that includes plenty of fruits, vegetables and complex carbohydrates. (**side note by me: you are not eating for 2!! You only need an extra 300 calories a day during the 2nd and 3rd trimester**)**Here is another great article on the benefits of exercise during your pregnancy** http://www.americanpregnancy.org/pregnancyhealth/exerciseguidelines.html

5 tips to beat the Holiday Scale!
The Holidays! What a wonderful time with family, friends, football and lot's of yummy food! It's also the most dreaded time for many women! Holiday parties with yummy treats help us put on the extra pounds! It's the time of year when exercise slows down and lounging around becomes the trend! So here are some helpful tips to keep those extra pounds away!
1) Holiday Outfit!: we all have them, want them and dream about them! The perfect outfit for parties, Christmas Eve service or whatever it may be! So pick out your favorite outfit or go buy it if that's how you roll...having that little reminder around in your current size will help give you a little boost of self control! Who wants to "outgrow" their lovely new dress before they even get to wear it?! Get it now and stay in it through the Holidays!
2) Write it Down!!: I've said it before and I will continue to say it! WRITE IT DOWN!! You wouldn't believe how much the little piece of chocolate, the extra cookie, the piggy in a blanket add up! Write it down, find an app on your phone, whatever works but keep track of what you are eating! I have a blackberry (yes old school I know) and I use the Calorie Counter: it tracks my calories, fats, carbs, protein and my exercise!
3) Eat before you go!: We all have one party or feast after another during the Holiday's! So to help fend off those piggy's in a blanket make sure to eat before you go! Most parties are nothing but little snack foods and lot's of dips, chips, candy and cake! Nothing that is going to provide you with actual nutrients and help ward off the hunger attacks! So eat a meal, stash an apple or banana in your purse and keep healthy snacks on hand! (ie) almonds, apples, bananas, bag of sliced up fruit, dry vegetables
4) Exercise!: Holiday's are always a tough time to stick with your routine...one it get's cold and no one wants to leave the coziness of home unless you have to! You have a party every other night, etc! Stick with it, make it a priority! Don't let that routine go because once you get off it's hard to get going again! Find a buddy, join a class (wink wink - boot camp) and stay moving!
5) Don't beat yourself up: You are allowed to give yourself a treat every now and again. Make it small and don't make it at every party you go to! Have a treat, enjoy the season but be reasonable! This is where it helps to keep exercising and writing it down!
After all, it is the most wonderful time of the year!! Happy Holidays!

Be Informed
Busy schedules, late nights and being just exhausted are all reason's we tend to hit up the closest fast food chain for a quick meal. The growing fast food industry is contributing more than just a "quick" and "cheap" meal for a family. They are also contributing a growing waist line to the majority of American's. Instead of working towards a solution we are making excuses and making accommodations to fit our growing sizes.
According to the CDC approximately one-third of adults are obese and 17% of children and young adults ranging 2-19 are obese. In 2010 no state had an obesity prevalence of less than 20%.
Source: http://www.cdc.gov/obesity/data/trends.html (click on the link to watch the animated map)
People often tell me when it comes to eating "healthy" that it is just too expensive. Well, it's no secret that the price tag on healthy foods (ie) produce, lean organic meats, etc. are higher than that of the unhealthy food choices at the store. However, the overall cost during a person's lifetime is indeed less expensive! What many American's are not factoring into this quick on the go, eat in the car, cheap, fattening meal is the lifetime doctor and medical expenses that come with it. If you don't believe me here is the fact: According to the CDC the medical care cost of obesity in 2009 was totaled at $147 billion!
Source: http://www.cdc.gov/obesity/causes/economics.html
This doesn't even take into account the indirect cost such as higher airlines prices because the amount of fuel to transport heavier loads and the added cost obese have to spend on gas themselves to transport the heavier load.
There are solutions to this growing epidemic but it start's with you. It's starts with the individual. It's your responsibility to become educated, to learn and to research.

Take the time to become informed about what you are eating, what you are buying before you do so. Keep posted to learn what ingredients to avoid, what to look for and the best way to "shop" your grocery store for the healthiest food!

Dinner at Home
Sorry friends it's been too long!! I promise we will be getting to the breakdown of food groups during our next post!!
I'm not sure about you but I find myself often standing in my kitchen flipping through pages of cookbooks to get a new recipe for supper! We get tired of the staple meals around here!! So I thought I would share tonight's supper with you in case you need some cooking inspiration!
Tonight's meal:
Tuna Steak with lemon red potatoes (thanks to pinterest) and green beans!! Yummy!
To start I marinaded the tuna steak in soy sauce (gluten free), sesame oil, ginger and garlic. Then cook about 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
For the potatoes I used this recipe Roasted Red potatoes with Lemon! Delicious! The lemon gave it a little something extra! I had to cook them for about 40 minutes unlike the recipe said!! So plan a little extra time in case! Oh and I didn't have dill so I used Sage and added a quarter of an onion!
Green Beans: I baked on 450 until they were tender! I like mine a little extra tender and a little less crunch crunch so I baked them a little longer...I sliced up a quarter on an onion and sprinkled them with extra virgin olive oil!
So there you have it...dinner with the Poe's! Hope that helps you have some healthy inspiration for a yummy at home supper!!

Shedding the Pounds
Every one of us at some point has wanted to lose weight whether it be for a wedding, after a baby, for summer, vacation, etc. The mistake we make is buying into the newest, latest and greatest fad. I can see why most women do...it's not because they really work but usually because they have flashy commercials and paid endorsers that leave out part of the real truth behind their success. Losing weight is never easy and always takes work. Here are some of my top suggestions to jump start your weight loss
1) Be realistic about your weight loss goals...if you have 5lbs you want to shed don't set a goal of 15lbs. Your body will plateau at it's comfortable weight and leave you feeling like you have failed if your goals are unrealistic.
2) Find a healthy cleanse to help you jump start the first few pounds. You want to find a cleanse that recommends you eat healthy fruits, lean meats and veggies while doing it. Any cleanse that suggest you quit eating, just eat one food type, etc. is not a healthy cleanse and will do your body more harm than good. My go to cleanse is from Advocare - Herbal Cleanse. A benefit of a cleanse is allowing your body to effectively absorb the nutrients you are taking in.
3) As with everything find accountability. This could be just writing it down...if you have enough discipline you can be accountable to yourself. I hate the thought of cheating because I know I have to write it down and then I have let myself down. If you don't have the discipline then allow someone to read your food journal.
4) Obtain knowledge. Often times we think we are eating healthy and indeed we are not. I read every ingredient before I buy something. The less ingredients a product has the better. If you can't pronounce or recognize an ingredient then you don't need to be eating it. The primary foods to stick to for any lifestyle change are lean meats, vegetables, fruits and whole grains.
5) Plan ahead...it's easy to say you are going to make changes but if you aren't planning ahead you will likely run out of time or not be prepared and end up cheating yourself.
6) Get a healthy amount of physical activity! With any weight loss goal you need to have the appropriate amount of exercise and healthy eating.
7) Change your mindset. If you are out to make a change remember it is not a diet or a fad...it has to be a lifestyle!!
Stay tuned as I break down the different food groups and the best products to consume!

Getting Started
Getting started is usually and always the hardest part for most women and definitely me! I tend to follow the first half of Newton's Law of Inertia, "An object at rest will stay at rest, forever, as long as nothing pushes or pulls on it. An object in motion will stay in motion, traveling in a straight line, forever, until something pushes or pulls on it."
I need motivation, I need to get that one foot out the door for my run, take the first step, break a sweat and then I am committed. Until that point of commitment I tend to just ponder upon what I should be doing...whether it's exercising, eating better, cleaning house, etc. Some people (the lucky ones) can't make themselves sit still and some people can't make themselves get going without a little motivation.
Motivation is a tricky thing. Most people say they can't motivate themselves or they are lacking motivation to make a change but I think every one has something that can motivate them...just finding what makes you tick can be a little tough sometimes!
So here are some tips I have found that help me get going and stay going!
1) Write it down! - We all have a goal we want to reach (ie) lose weight, get in better shape, eat better...but just knowing and saying that will not help you get there. You have to act upon it. Often times quantifying and writing down those goals will help you get on the path to actually achieving them!! Try giving yourself one goal a month and then move to the next! Don't over do it or you won't make it past the first week!
2) Have accountability - Share what you have written down (your goals) with someone whether it's your husband, best friend, training partner, personal trainer, etc. Allow them to keep a copy and make sure you are sticking to your plan.
3) Work towards something - find some type of activity or event that will help motivate you to work towards your goals (ie) Class Reunion, Running a race - sign up for one and give yourself time to succeed at it and get a training buddy.
4) Keep the end in mind - don't think about the day to day, the hard work and effort reaching your goal will take. Remind yourself constantly of the end results. You will run that race, You will look smoking at that reunion, You will....whatever it is.
5) Ask yourself Why? - Why is it that you want to achieve a particular goal? Why are you working towards something - I never liked cardio but my family has a history of high blood pressure and heart attacks. I started running so I can help keep this under control and be around with my kids and husband when I am 50! Of course that is if the Lord wills it to be!
6) Find your inspiration - is there someone, something that inspires you? Be realistic...Often times we want to look like someone and that's never going to happen. Not because you didn't work your fanny off but because that's not how God made you! So be realistic about your inspiration! Don't set yourself up to fail before you ever start!
7) Stay positive - I can be hard to stay positive if you aren't seeing change as quickly as you think you should...remember to be realistic here as well! Find your inner cheerleader and get going! My best example was a lady at our local park - while she was running she kept telling herself, "I got this, I got this". Over and over and I bet she finished what she came to do!! So keep that smile on and have a positive attitude!
Motivation is often the first step to getting started to a better you! Try these 7 tips and see if you can't get yourself motivated to achieve your Bucket List!

Fitness for the Everyday Woman
Let's be honest. Most women stray from exercise, gyms, eating healthy and living active lifestyles for one excuse or another.
Top Excuses:
1) I don't have the time to hit the gym
2) Cooking healthy foods takes too much time and cost way too much
3) I need someone to motivate me
4) I don't know what to do
5) I'm intimidated by the gym
6) It's just too hard
and so on and so forth....but it doesn't have to be this way!
A little background on me...I have been involved in fitness in some way, shape or form since elementary school. It started out with playing softball and cheering. Then my dad started taking me with him to the gym and teaching me a few things here and there. Then I had to take the weight lifting class in middle school P.E. and to be honest...I liked it. I thought it was fun. Most people, I know, don't feel this way! Then it became a lifestyle...my family would eat supper and then go every night to the YMCA near our house. It was our version of family time! Now, don't get me wrong, we also liked pizza and movie night!
I was a competitive and sidelines cheerleader in high school and always took the weight lifting/exercise classes in high school! I just liked it! I graduated college with a degree in Exercise and Health Science and continued from there. I did some in home personal training and taught a boot camp for a season. Now, I am a stay at home mom with an 8 month old son!
I decided to start this blog because I often get asked about exercise, mydiet lifestyle and what can other's do to get in shape. This is an age old question, something every woman strives for no matter how in shape they are to start....every girl wants to know how they can be skinny, fit, in shape, have a tone body, whatever you want to call it!!
So, I am going to be blogging about tips and simple lifestyle changes you can make to stay in shape, get in shape without blowing your budget or having to buy a gym membership.
