Smashed my food choices, making the best choices I could and kicked arse at Zumba tonight burning 600 calories!!!
Who would have thought that I'd be 23+ weeks pregnant and still exercising?! I am so proud of myself for sticking to it. I am so determined not to let this pregnancy become another excuse to not exercise and be fit and healthy. There is so much to benefit from sticking to it, not only for mself but for my family xxx This makes it even more important to me as my family mean the world to me <3 <3 <3
I just need to keep telling myself, every healthy nutritional thing I eat and every step I take, helps my bubba have the best start that s/he can have. Not only physically with his/her development as s/he grows inside of me, but also mentally.
There is some research out there linking to a mums stress levels whilst pregnant can result in an unsettle baby and 'may' increase the risk of many early childhood diseases and health problems.
So in a way, my determination to be a healthier and fitter person not allow decreases my stress levels and boosts my positive endorphins and that awesome feeling you get when you smash it out at the gym or when you find yourself feeling proud of your self for making smart healthy choices; it is also benefiting my unborn child. This just makes me feel even more proud or my self.
And to top it off, the changes I am making for a better me are benefiting my gorgeous children and even my husband. I love the fact that I am being a positive role model for my daughter and son :D For them to see me trying my hardest to be a happy positive person in all elements of my life xxx
And my husband loves seeing a new me. A me that loves ME for whom I am. I have always been able to find the positive side to life and loved my life, but I have never really loved myself. But now as I make changes in my life for me and am beginning to love myself and the best thing about it all, is that it doesn't only make my life happier but those whom I love around me, as well xxx
There are so many benefits to staying fit and sticking to it while pregnant. Why did I give up so easily with my last 2?
Cheers Mel x
