Jessie’s Story
She’s back!
Jessie just returned with Mission Team Haiti visiting Christian orphanages and doing good work.

She has a great story about what she did and saw, I can only imagine what it would be like to be born in a place other than my own.
When you stop by to to workout today ask her about it

GT Get Fit Tip: How Do I Lose This Baby Weight?
Image by bespoke via Flickr
After 9 months of carrying a baby things will take time to get back to normal. It takes about 4 weeks for the uterus to shrink back to normal size while losing 8-20lbs of extra fluid. Once the fluid is gone, whats left is the extra FAT gained during pregnancy.
Trying to get back to the gym can sound like a good idea but things are hectic with newborns; time constraints, crazy schedule, guilt and mood swings can all make it difficult to make workouts.
Don’t sweat it, keep it simple and focus on what’s important like nutrition, your baby, and rest. Find a support group of like-minded people (neighbors, church, friends) to get ideas and help from, you’ll be surprised how creative other moms can become with little children. If you can’t dedicate a trip to the gym, think about splitting workouts up into small segments of time, 10mins is better than a big O!!
Don’t get overwhelmed and worried about a few extra pounds of fat, keep things simple and relax, you have just brought a new living being into this world and now is the time to enjoy what you have created.
If you do need extra support or workout ideas please let me know, I have an infant/crawler workout for moms called BABY WEIGHTS I would love for you to join us.

GT Get Fit tips: Do you like BLT’s?
Image via Wikipedia
Not bacon, lettuce, tomato sandwiches, I’m talking
bites
licks
&
taste
All these little extra BLT’s add up through out the day to over 350kcals – Thats 30mins of a GT workout!!
The average late night snacker piles on an extra 500kcals eating after supper.
Be mindful of what your eating and WRITE it down if you’re trying to burn fat, every bit helps
