C-Section Saturday: Make a Plan

I use Saturdays to discuss, teach, and learn about C-Section recovery. 

Be prepared, some of the information that we discuss will be graphic, but I assure you that I will do my best to cover each topic with the grace of the true southern lady that I am. 

With that being said lets jump in!

Today I want to talk about the number one question I get as a gym owner. 

"How do I get fit?"

Here is the trick... there is no trick. 

You simply have to choose/make a plan and stick to it. 

People get so caught up in the idea that they have to have the exact perfect plan and if you don't then your whole fitness effort is in vain. 

That simply isn't true! 

That, to me, is like the people that can only start eating healthy on a Monday. 

If they miss the Monday start time they have to wait an ENTIRE WEEK to start again. 

If you want to get fit and healthy, start simply.  

Fitness really isn't that complicated! 

Pick there manageable goals and go from there. 

My manageable goals were: 

move my body as often as possible. 

eat real food

sleep as much as I can

That was my simple plan. 

After a couple of weeks of success with this plan I then added to it. 

"Move my body as much as possible" became walking on the treadmill, then running on the treadmill, and now I am running my mile for time, 

"Eat real food" started with cutting out Dr. Pepper, then it moved to eating more meat and vegetables, now I am doing a Whole30. 

"Sleep as I can" is hard since I have four kids under six. This looks like the traditional, "sleep when baby sleeps" and using sleep cycles to get the best rest possible. 

Do not stress yourself out, post C-section mamas (or anybody for that matter!) the process is much more simple than the magazines would have you believe. 

You don't need a ton of equipment and you don't need super expensive supplements and meal plans. What you need is to make a simple plan and stick with it. Don't believe my story? Check out the stories of my friends Denise and Rachel. 

At the end of the day you are a child of God and you are incredible. Get out there and move your body. Take care of the gift that God has given you.
