Moms Can Feel Sexy Too!

This post is dedicated to all the moms out there that feel like over the years they have let their bodies and well being take a back seat to providing the best for their children. Letting yourself go because you just didn't have the time between getting the kids up for school or early morning feedings, getting the house straight, work, the list goes on and on. How many times has weight loss or makeover been your New Years Resolution? Well it was mine this year. All I had to do was take the first step. I started out doing P90X in the lean program. I started out weighing 158 lbs @ 5'3 1/2". It wasn't a pretty site and I realized no matter how much I wished and wanted my body to change, it wasn't going to unless I did something about it. I changed up my diet a little but I wasn't getting the results I wanted. I was losing my drive a little and that's when I realized I needed something to motivate me, so I started looking into bikini competitions through the bodybuilding competitions. Then I started searching for an affordable coach, because let me tell ya they can get expensive! Let's just say for now that I found the diamond in the ruff and I'm seeing accelerated results. Now I will write a blog later about the emotional and mental aspect of contest prep but I'm sticking with it and I'm loving the changes in my body.

My point is that moms can be sexy, moms can feel sexy and not be ashamed of it. I'm 30 years old starting this journey and I am starting to feel sexy again which is a great feeling. For a long time I got to the point where I quit wearing makeup and trying to look cute because I didn't like the way my body looked. I took baby steps, I started out doing zumba on the wii in December of 2011 and worked my way up to the zumbathon, even took a few classes at the gym. And then I graduated to P90X and now my coach is kicking my ass in a good way. Every morning when I'm doing my cardio, which is my first workout of the day (I have 2) I display a magazine with Nathalia Melo to motivate me and remind me of why I'm doing it all in the first place. Because if my body can look like that and I can get the look and presentation together I will feel extremely accomplished. It's my big goal for the year. Stick it out you can do anything you put your mind to, link yourself to like minded ppl with the same goal as you and never forget what motivated you in the first place because there will be many times when the diet just seems too tough, workout is too rough, and you just don't want to get up and go to the gym. You're going to need those positive re-enforcements telling you to DO IT!
