The day I started the program I took “before” pictures and did my measurements.Lindsey: It’s been very challenging! The biggest challenge is managing my time and mental capacity. I bought the lemon to make her lemon water too (but haven’t actually put the lemon in the water yet…baby steps, people). I have tried a few green smoothies and am drinking a lot of water first thing in the morning. If eating a handful of chocolate chips is going to make a fussy baby seem less frustrating then I’ll eat the chocolate chips. I still eat some ice cream or a handful of chocolate chips and have a glass of wine a few nights a week and don’t beat myself up over it. I’m a firm believer in everything in moderation. (Things like tuna and some fruit as opposed to grilled cheese sandwiches ha!). My husband and I are eating more veggie filled dinners and I’m eating better lunches. I haven’t been following her Nourish plan to a “t” but am following her guideline of eating “real” food. However, just a week into Lindsey’s program my shoulder pain is gone! It’s things like that that I love. Since having Roy my shoulder has been killing me. I separated my shoulder back in high school and when my shoulders aren’t strong enough I can’t sleep on my right side without waking up in major pain. It’s rare for a 20 minute workout to leave me super sweaty and sore the next day but these do! My legs and arms feel stronger and my core is slowly but surely tightening up a bit. So 2 weeks in I’m already feeling more strong. I might be going super slow or doing a totally different exercise but I’m still moving! Lindsey’s big thing is to just keep moving during the workouts so that’s what I try to do. I modify a lot of the workout to work for me and my body.Īpparently breastfeeding can be hard on your wrists so when my wrists started getting really sore last week I switched up some of the planks and push ups. I can feed Roy, play with him a bit, put him down for a nap and get my workout and shower done before his next feeding. This is absolutely perfect for someone like me with a newborn and a day that’s scheduled out in 3 hour increments when the next feeding happens. Her workouts are literally only 20 minutes long. Two weeks ago I took the plunge and started her 30 day move challenge. Lindsey has an awesome Nourish & Move Training program that she recently sent to me to try out. No quick fixes or bikini bod pics, just 20 minute workouts and an “eat real food” mentality. She’s one of those “normal” fitness bloggers that I love. I’ve been following Lindsey/Nourish Move Love for a few months after we met at her Her Initiative event back in the spring. That’s why my runs are more like fast walks and half of my strength workouts are done with no weight! Everyone is different – some women start working out a few days after giving birth and some women wait a few months! The most important thing my dr said is to listen to your body and do NOT push anything. **Side note: I worked with my doctor on when I should get back to working out. These helped me to get back into the routine of working out but I still felt pretty weak. I would “run” a couple times a week and do a postnatal strength workout I found online. (And by running I mean walk/jogging for a mile.) That helped me feel more like “me” again. My friend and I signed up for a 5k so I started running again a few weeks after having Roy. I worked out throughout my pregnancy but nothing like I was used to. While the majority of the weight came off within a couple weeks, I was left with an extra 5 pounds and a pretty weak body. I put on about 20 pounds throughout my pregnancy.

I’ve been doing sports through college and running half and full marathons as an adult so when I put on a few extra pounds (which pretty much happens every winter…I fondly refer to it as my winter layer) I know how to shed the pounds and tone up pretty quickly.Īfter having Roy I noticed that the weight didn’t fall off like so many people say it does. To be 100% honest, I’ve never really had any troubles with keeping weight off or getting toned. Nourish Move Love 30 Day Move Challenge.
