Real body after Baby

I truly enjoyed reading this article and wanted to share it.

Bravo to this new mother, she looks great!

   Gisele, left, and reader Kristin, both exactly 102 days post-birth. Hello, perspective. (And hi, babies!)

No one’s begrudging Gisele her genes. But the picture makes you wonder: What does your average nonsupermodel look like 15 weeks postpartum? To give you an idea, Kristin Ford, 32, a social-media consultant from Lansdale, Pennsylvania, let Glamour photograph her and son Parker at the same number of days postpartum as Gisele and Vivian. Ford looks great—but she expected better: “I had this idea that my body would bounce back after pregnancy,” she says. “I’m still waiting. I’m bigger everywhere—even in my knees!"

So how do Hollywood moms do it? With the best trainers money can buy—plus the threat of losing out on work. “Celebrities experience a scary amount of pressure to drop the pounds,” says trainer Ramona Braganza. “Their careers depend on it.” Jessica Alba was in a swimsuit for a Campari ad not long after she had her first baby. “She did light weights two weeks postpartum and intervals on the treadmill by week five,” Braganza says. Minimal downtime is the norm: “I trained Meg Ryan the morning she went into the hospital,” says trainer Kathy Kaehler, who adds that she was at Julia Roberts’ door five weeks after the actress delivered twins (twins!). Doesn't exactly make you want to switch places with the stars, right?
Bottom Line: Cut yourself some slack if you’ve got a newborn: Your body just, y’know, made another body. Focus on getting gentle exercise and lots of protein, calcium, and vitamin D (to help rebuild muscle and bone)—not on losing weight, says New York City cardiologist Holly Andersen, M.D. Ford's take: "If I'm choosing between a workout and time with Parker, Parker wins. Who cares if I can't get my old pants over my thighs?"

My Future Mom Cut..I think?

If I ever get a "Mom Cut" this is what I want it to look like >.<

Whoever said “Oh it’s your first baby? The weight will come right off!” is lying to you. Let me start off by saying it has been 20 months since I have given birth to my son and I am still struggling to drop the last 10 pounds. (Granted I have lost over 40 pounds so far.) Like struggling for a couple of month’s type of struggling.

So with that being laid out for you, I decided it was time for a change. I looked my daily diet and exercise plan and figured I would change a few things. Can I just say it has made a world of difference? I have already lost 4 of the 10 pounds I am trying to lose.

The two things I have been doing different are I picked up Kettle Bell Training and Eating Clean.

Kettle Bell training is a great 3 in one work out that you can do at home. You know when the kiddo’s are napping or sleeping. They are normally 25-30 minute work out that combine Strength, Cardio, and Power. Great combo, right?

Then there is eating clean. Who knew it could be so easy and so fun. You can make your meals for the week with Turkey Meatloaf Muffins or Quiche, Smoothies and the list goes on. You can also freeze the smoothies let them sit out for a few minutes then you a cool treat with the texture of ice cream.

Hope you enjoy!

Falling in Love by Philosophy.

To sum this great fragrance up

it smells like Cotton candy with a dash of spring.

So yummy.

Next up is the punch colored pink from Nars.

this color flatters all skin tones and last through out the day.

So no need to reapply.

Before and After

 As some of you might know I had a baby 20 months ago.
As much as I love my son, carrying him really took a toll on my body and self esteem.
I went from being 5 foot tall and 115 pounds to (still 5 foot tall)  pushing the scale at almost 200 pounds when he was born. When he was born he was 9 pounds and 21 inches long.

Needless to say I am doing this post for me. I am having one of those days where I am not feeling like my normal hot mom self. (which I know we all have those days) UGH >.<

That's me on the right looking like like I have a fat suit on :)

And this is me today.

Still need to drop 14 pounds to be back to my pre baby weight.

And let me just tell you these last 14 pounds are the hardest to come off.

No matter they will come off regardless.

So Mom's out there..

Just remember you are beautiful even when you are feeling like you are not.

Hot Mom Monday

Round of applause for Katie Holmes getting her grove back after Tom Cruise.

No Mom Jeans

Okay let’s be real here people.( By the way this post is for all the mom’s out there but anyone is more than welcome to read and maybe even take something from this.)

After having my son my world was flipped upside down. When I say flipped upside down I mean EVERYTHING. From my daily routine, to what I was wearing, how I carried myself, how I saw myself, my habits,  how was I going to fit in my workout and the list goes on.

After 19 months I am finding myself again and getting my hotness back. Please don’t think I am shallow, I’m just saying you know it has all crossed your minds.. It may take other mom’s shorter or it may take other mom’s longer to get back to everything with full force. (Please remember there is no time limit on these things, only you will know when you are ready.)

 Ladies these are just some quick tips I picked up along the way and maybe they will be useful to you.

Beauty Routine:

You want to use things that are multi taskers. Check, Lips all in one?! Yes Please.

Let’s not forget to use a great Primer Base and Coverage in One. BB Cream is all the rage right now and it does Multi Task. Key word here ;)

Also a good key piece to have is a great under eye conceder because girl you are going to need it more those sleepless nights. I personally like and use this one. It has caffeine it in which helps the eye look more awake.

                                                   

PS Don’t forget to use the mascara. It makes a world of difference, trust me.

Try washing and styling your hair at night after the kiddo’s are in bed. In the morning just refresh your hair style with a little finishing spray.

                                                      

And Boom you are one pulled together Mom ready to take on the world.

Fitness Routine:

Invest in a jogging stroller; spring will be here before you know it. You don’t have to jog, you could walk. Whatever works for you as long as you are a mom that is moving. Plus the fresh air will be good for the both of you and this may even get baby to nap. Bonus.

I guess this saying is true.

“When babies are born mothers are born.”

 I love being a mom and would not trade it for anything in this world. I feel like every moment with my son is a blessing. At the end of the day there is nothing better than snuggling with your loved one or ones.
