Nanny to Mommy

Did you have a new year resolution to start a fitness routine? How is it going so far? If there is one thing that have learned after losing 65 pounds through diet and exercise, it is that you have to just keep trying. It is okay to have a bad day, just get right back to it the next day. It is also okay to listen to your body and take a rest day. I started cross training in June of 2019, and I have loved it. But after your first workout, you will be a different kind of sore. So here are my tips on how to properly recover when starting a fitness routine.

Everyone must prioritize their health regardless of how old or busy they get. One of the most important factors in living a long and healthy life is not worrying about getting sick unexpectedly.

Taking care of your health can provide your body with many benefits, especially allowing you to do anything you want. However, adapting to a healthy lifestyle might be challenging as you must give up some habits.

Aside from proper determination and dedication, here are some tips to keep you healthy:

In the wake of conceiving an offspring, your body will have undergone many changes - your body has grown into another human being, for starters! Pregnancy and childbirth's toll on a woman’s body is significant. Your stomach muscles are stretched to the limit, your pelvic floor is weakened by the force of pushing a baby out from such a small space, and not to mention you lose much strength in general. Thankfully, getting back into shape after childbirth isn’t as tricky. Getting started on an exercise routine after having a baby can seem almost overwhelming with all the information available about what kind of activity is best for you and when you should start doing them again.

However, there are just so many things that work for postpartum bodies and routines—after that, it’s up to you and how much effort you’re willing to put in. Your muscles can get sore post a workout. You also want to deal with your body after exercising, and there comes CBD tincture for the rescue. These tinctures are filled with Cannabinoid, which has properties to heal your sore muscles and give you a sound sleep. So, hop in to know the top exercises for new mothers and understand the role of CBD tinctures after the workout. You can also check out CBD oil UK for high quality tinctures.

You might want to consider multiple things when preparing to work out. After workouts, part of your routine might be a post-workout cool-down to rest and renew your mind and body.

You might want to consider what health products you may take for the duration of a post- workout cool-down. We've listed some herbal products that can help ease your muscles from the stress of exercise and get your body back to its natural state.

Know that there are more than just workouts that can leave you sore, achy, and struggling to keep up your energy levels. So, when you finish your workout, it's essential to take care of yourself. One way to counteract these harmful effects is using herbal products like CBD hemp capsules, green tea, or turmeric.

Whether you're venturing out of the gym to enjoy your favorite drink or are just getting home and trying to relax, this is your time for gratitude. Reaching for a post-workout snack is such a treat, but if you have specific health goals - like losing weight, increasing your energy levels, or recovering faster - then it's even better!

Check out these natural products that will help you recover after a hard workout, and stock up on these healthy snacks today.

When you’ve had time off the gym or away from exercise, you can feel like a totally different person. And it can be something that really affects your life. We all know that we need to be able to stay active in order to be healthy and have energy. But sometimes this isn’t possible. It could be that you have had an accident, experienced a sports injury, or you need to take time away for personal reasons. And when that’s the case, you may find that your fitness levels and abilities change a little. But you must remember that we all have to start somewhere. And sometimes, the comeback is even better. So, let’s take a look at some of the things you can do to build yourself back up after time off.

Regular exercise is important for everyone, including kids. By ensuring your kids take part in regular physical activities, you can help them to improve their fitness, maintain a healthy weight and decrease the risk of future medical problems. If you want to instill a love of exercise in your kids, take a look at these top ways to encourage your kids to be active:

Being a parent means that life is hectic. Sometimes, time can run away with you, and it can feel like there aren’t enough hours in the day, especially to fit in workouts. If you’re keen to stay active, or you want to get into exercise, it is possible to get your body moving when you’re a mom. Here are some tips to give you inspiration.

I was looking through my Timehop and I was reminded that two years ago my husband and I really buckled down to start our weightloss journey. We made many lifestyle changes along the way and that has been the key to success. We watch what we eat more carefully and we make sure to get 30 minutes of cardio in daily. We are still learning what works for us and had to change up our routines because sometimes we would get in a plateau. It has been a process, but we are loving knowing that we are setting a better foundation for our children.

If you know me, then you know that I am going to try and monetize anything and everything. I use to extreme coupon and I still love using coupon and discount apps regularly. And through this journey I have found so many apps to help you make money while you are getting healthy.

As you may know, we have been on a fitness and healthy lifestyle journey. We have completely changed the way we have been eating and we have actually been using our gym memberships instead of just wasting money like we were doing before. We wanted to create a better life for ourselves and our children. We have been exploring our world too through hiking (I will share more on that later) and I want comfortable clothes to do that in.


PACT Organic makes super soft cotton clothing that is better for both people and planet because they use organic farming practices that don’t pollute the soil or water while partnering with organizations that protect the well-being of the people who make the clothes. Organic cotton doesn’t pollute the soil or air and uses 71% less water and 62% less energy than conventional cotton. Growing organic cotton keeps farmers and their families safe because they are not exposed to toxic chemicals.

I told you all that we were going to be running our first 5k and I am happy to report that we did it! I was a nervous wreck before hand. I had been having serious pain in my hip and I didn't know if I was going to be able to power through. I decided my husband and I needed a non-weight goal to look forward to, so we signed up to run the Color Run 5K Atlanta. Since this was a fun run, you didn't have to run the entire time (just keep moving) which is why I loved it for our first 5k.

My husband and sister-in-law ran with me. My father-in-law was kind of enough to get up super early so we could head to the Atlanta Motor Speedway. I was worried about what to do with my phone and if I should wear my Bluetooth headphones or even my Fit Bit because I didn't want them to get ruined by paint. But the paint is powdered and you don't have to get any on you if you don't want to. It was a little chilly that morning, but I just knew I would get hot once we started running.

The hubby and I are running our first 5K on Saturday. From what I can tell, it's a color run so it isn't as competitive as other races seem to be. So it will be a great first 5K especially since we are beginning runners. We have started a weight loss journey and healthy lifestyle to become a #FitFam (fitness family). We want to be healthy. And to get in the mind set, we have been streaming different documentaries to help us in our process. I have made a list of what to stream when you are trying to lose weight.

These products are featured in our 2015 Holiday Gift Guide.

I love Aurorae Yoga! They make very quality products at awesome prices. I have been on a weightloss journey and trying my hand at a little yoga. So when Aurorae Yoga asked to be included in my Holiday Gift Guide, I was very excited to see some of the other products they offer. I did a review of a Microfiber Towels earlier this year. And this time I was sent a Aurorae Yoga Mat Tote Bag & Paradise Package Soy Candle Gift Set to review.
