Go Busy Momma

As a hypothyroid mom of 3 kids with a demanding profession in the health care industry, I struggled to find the best routine to keep myself healthy! I found myself exhausted every day and desperately needed a change.

I tried running, fitness videos, apps, calorie counting, keto diets, you name it, I probably tried it! I aspired to match what other people were doing and compared myself to them. All that did was leave me feeling defeated and unable to match their discipline. I just could not understand how they could have the motivation to fit one more thing into their day, and I couldn’t.

I happened to see the right no-nonsense post at the right time, and it just hit me. It is simple. It is absolutely doable. I finally realized that the answer was for me to find something that worked for me and stop wishing! 

After some trial and error, I found that I could strength train for 20 minutes, 3-4 times a week and stay inside a calorie deficit to slowly transform into the fit, healthy momma I’ve always wanted to be. Nothing is as encouraging as seeing results!

Never did I ever think I would be looking forward to my workout sessions. Jamming to my music as I sweat through my resistance training, I feel amazing. I eat when I am feeling hungry and I load my meals with nutrients, healthy fats and protein. I try not to take in processed foods and unhealthy calories but I do have an occasional treat!

It took me years to understand that the answer was to find something I can do consistently and keep it simple! This route worked for me because I only needed a few dumbells and my own body. I encourage readers to find what it is that works for the, do not get discouraged, and do not give up on yourself.
