Hey this is Ray! Here I am at the gym after a great workout sesh; while pregnant with our second baby. Competing with yourself is the ultimate flex, and now I am attempting to match the energy that i was blessed with at 37 weeks pregnant!
The Woman Behind Mom!
Dear Reader,
When was the last time that you did something for you?
Not for your kids
Not for your work
Not for the house
For You!
We have a shared understanding that putting yourself last as a Mom seems completely normal.
However, please let me encourage you with a *much-needed-Mamahood-tip*
Taking care of your health is not selfish, rather taking care of your health is an intention that will help you to show up with your BEST FOOT FORWARD, as the woman, a mom, and the person you are!
This is one of the many reasons why the Mamafitmiss Blog was created.
Mamafitmiss is a space for moms to find encouragement, health and fitness rich content, and a community of Moms, by a Mom!
My goals to incorporate health and fitness habits into my daily experience began prior to pregnancy, however I leaned into a more dedicated fitness routine the moment in each of my pregnancies.
Wowzers, what a difference this key habit made in my experience as during pregnancy!
As you may well know, pregnancy and Mamahood can be a very draining and energy taxing experience. And on the flip side, pregnancy can be an exhilarating experience, which is boosted by healthy intentions! Fitness made a notable difference in my experience as a pregnant woman; and then a fitness minded intention has only ever boosted my experience as a Mom. An experience that I am excited to share more of with you!
(Remember to safely engage in physical activity if you have been approved to do so by your OB-GYN or midwife, (I have had an experience with both, which is a blog post for another day.)
Have you exercised while pregnant, if so which exercise was your favorite while pregnant?
And as Always,
Take Care!
-Ray
