Eating Clean

I have been much more strict with my eating this week. I already notice a huge difference in how I feel. Some of my staple snacks are green apples and almond butter, grass fed whey protein shake w/ flaxseed oil, hardboiled eggs, and raw nuts. Trying to eliminate simple sugars all together. It can be very tough when you are always hungry and constantly snacking. While breastfeeding you also tend to feel that you never have enough food. I've really been able to track my eating very well with this great online nutrition tracker. It's free to use and very helpful. Thedailyplate.com is what I've been using. I know there are others out there but this one seems to track the foods the easiest with a good amount of detail.

My workout yesterday for 3/19 was raised up a couple notches. Already feeling like my strength is coming back.
Every thing below were Supersets. I am feeling a bit sore in my legs and upper back. Nothing too bad.

1.Leg Press 90lb 10 x 3
Calfs on leg Press 90lb 20 x 3

2. Leg Extensions 50lb 10 x 3
Laying down Leg Curls 25lb 10 x 3 (i have always hated this exercise)

3. Assisted Pull Ups -75lb 8 x 3 (used to be able to do 3-5 pull ups with no assistance right before the pregnancy)
Chest Flys 15lb 10 x 3

4. Bicep Curls 15lb 10 x 3
Tricep Pull down 30lb 10 x 3

5. Military Press 15lb 8 x 2
Crunches on Decline 10 x 2

6. Back Extensions 15 x 2
Plank Hold 60sec x 1 30 sec x 1

Pretty zapped after this workout so did not have the energy for any type of cardio. Only got about 4 hours of sleep because of baby. Since I skipped today all together with working out I am hoping to get a nice kettlebell workout in tomorrow.

What Doctor's don't tell you after a C-section

I have now been through 2 C-sections since writing this blog post and thankfully I've recovered beautifully from both with the appropriate progressions. For those who are new and are just finding me. WELCOME! First let me say I did NOT want a C-section. I did everything in my power to avoid the first and even the second. I'm a kettlebell fitness strength and conditioning coach who relies on her body to share, teach, educate, and I was under the impression that having to give birth via C-section would and could destroy my body and career. Boy was I wrong! If you're feeing the same way, start by reading this article I wrote many years ago that still applies today! Many people have asked and here is part of my experience.  I don't claim to be a medical expert but not only have I successfully healed my C-section, my abdominals are no longer numb, and I've successfully helped others who've had multiple C-sections (even some 20 years ago) find their core aga

Let's Talk About Butts (Butt "on" Workouts)

To lift or not to lift, that is the question.  Despite the popular sayings, "Strong is the new Skinny" or "Strong is the New Sexy," there is still a large portion of the female population that will shy away from lifting solely due to their fear of bulking up or building too much muscle.  I'm not going to tell you that heavy weights won't help build muscle and I'm not going to deny the fact that some women can build muscle easier than others.   Let's start with the photo below.  This is a nice example of the female backside that shows two different body types.  The woman on the left falls in the category of an ectomorph, which generally means skinny, little muscle, and a very high metabolism.  She could probably eat what she wants and stay skinny.  If she committed to a butt strengthening and enhancing program, filled with exercises such as squats, deadlifts, and kettlebell swings , developing the butt on the right would still be unlike
