Why am I always so insecure when I am pregnant? It hit me today why…it’s hard for me to gain weight - even though it’s healthy weight for the baby. It’s difficult to see the weight come back on when you have worked so hard to get it off. Don’t get me wrong, this is just self-realization moment. I love my kids and I LOVE babies! The extra skin and the stretch marks are worth it every second of it to have my kids! Even though I fully support the plastic surgery industry…Saving for my Mommy Makeover after this one…

It has been forever since I have had time to sit down and update my bodyspace. Trust me, I’m on this website a couple of times a week researching stuff. As of today, I can feel my legs again. It’s been a long battle trying to get back to normal. Just when I thought I was good to go I’d be back to square one. I have to rave how much I appreciate seeing people that live the healthy lifestyle in person. Most women would through a hissy fit and dumb girly grudges against a woman that is healthy and ripped. ( I don’t get girls sometimes…I grew up a tomboy and still prefer to hang out with guys due to the "No Drama" factor) My family went boating a few weeks ago and their was a girl in a teenie weenie bikini and was RIPPED. I noticed all of the girls around her were gossping about her…no doubt the neverending jealousy factor. I don’t get it. Point being, anytime I see a "living" example of a serious fit chick, I get such an motivation high that I work harder to get the body I want. YOU CAN HAVE IT ALL! Again, today I had a girl - granted the same age as I but with no children yet - came into my office to discuss business. She was super ripped and instead of knockin’ her, I can’t WAIT to get home and bust my butt in the gym. I don’t think age or weight really matter. It truly comes down to how you feel, look, and LIKE the way you look. Yes, I admit I am needing to take some of mine own advice… it is hard seeing people with flat stomaches that haven’t had the aftermath of pregnancy(s)… but to no avail I am driven and curious to see what I can create with the body I have and will forever own…. Rock on, ladies!

I’m still waiting for my legs to recover from being numb. Still doping up on B12 and Iron… the feeling is slowly returning but I"M DYING to get back in action. It’s really frustrating just SITTING. I’m eating clean with no problems, just anxious to start shaping my bod!

I woke up two weeks ago and my legs and arms were numb… I was taking an intense horseshoeing class and it’s very physically straining - I just figured I was using new muscles that I haven’t used in awhile and I was just numb because my muscles hadn’t had a chance to recover yet ( I was eating plenty of protein). Then I woke up the next morning and I was getting progressivley worse. Long story short my whole body ended up being NUMB except my chest, neck and face. Finally I went to the doctor and they did MRI’s, blood work, etc. because they thought I had Multiple Schlorisis…. I just found out a few days ago that a chemical that I’ve used around horses for the last 15 years ("Cresote") was poisoning my system and that I was low on Iron & B12 (from all of my surgeries, health problems, and child birth) and my body couldn’t get rid of the heavy chemical. I was told that if we hadn’t gotten on top of it as soon as we did - I would be paralyzed in a matter of SIX MONTHS! Right now I have gotten most of the feeling back from my body except in my shin/calf area. I am so grateful I found out what was wrong with me! Needless to say my workout’s have been put on hold because of the inability to use my limbs, but I’m still strict on my clean eating. I did have the smallest bite of a birthday cake for my Dad’s birthday a couple of weeks ago… I regretted it soon after. My stomache hurt sooooo bad I wanted to die! So now for my "cheat" meals I stick to 85% or darker chocolate… that doesn’t hurt to eat! So slowly getting my goals but nothing will break my motivation…. As Tosca Reno says… KEEP IT TIGHT!

WOW! I can’t explain to you the motivation I have! I’ve been extremely dedicated with clean eating the past few days and in the middle of setting up my new weight bench that my sweet hubby bought for me. I also just invested in a speed rope, so on the days that I can’t go run in the mornings I can sneak in a quick session of jumping. I must tell you that it’s nuts at mi casa right now - trying to find a balance of having a newborn, kids, school, college, my business, clean eating & working out. I must say that I hate not having a schedule… we just moved into a new apartment and YES, UGH I’m still unpacking….. things are just NUTS! But I’m excited to be back in my pre-prego jeans… just time to transform my bod and become a lamborghini instead of a honda accord. (Jennifer Nicole Lee’s husband was asked once if he had a hard time having his wife parade around in a bikini, his reply was if you had a lamborghini, why keep it in the garage? That’s me paraphrasing… not the verbatim direct quote) So here I am… finally BACK again! (Yes, I got the heart docs okay to start working out again….SCORE) Lots of love to the fellow iron pumpers -

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had my baby boy on Jan. 31st! HE"S SO CUTE! I have to be honest and tell you that even though I have stretch marks and saggy skin right now MY KIDS ARE SOOOO WORTH IT! I see the doc tomorrow to get the official okay to start working out again - I gained 20 pounds from my pregnancy and I’ve already lost 15 pounds just by clean eating! I’m anxious to shape my body again with lean muscle! I’ll be posting some new pics soon. I’m back ………. finally ….. wink wink!

Ready to have a baby…I waddle and my hips hurt! LOL! Plus I am super excited to get back on the fitness wagon. My awesome hubby bought me a really nice weight bench set for Christmas and I haven’t set it up yet…… too tempting and my doctor will whip my butt if I exercise. I am supposed to be on bedrest - hah - you can’t be on bedrest when you are a business owner, wife, & a mom.

I am 6 1/2 months pregnant and I have gained a healthy 15 pounds. Nothing has gotten bigger except of course my tummy, hips and chest. My doctor was AMAZED at how healthy and in shape I am for my fourth pregnancy! That’s such a compliment and more of a drive to stay in shape! I am starting to not fit in my jeans anymore (just hip wise) so I get to bust out the bella band. Overall I am very pleased and proud of myself for not getting caught in the thought of "I’m pregnant, I can eat whatever I want and lose the weight after" Uh, no thanks! I did that with my last pregnancy and it’s pure heck to lose the extra weight! I want to post some maternity progress pics so I have some new "before pics" for next year…
