Fit2BMom Mondays

The post baby body journey has officially begun and I have decided to start a series every Monday where I will share details of my experience losing my baby weight and getting in shape to be a FIT MOM.
I will share daily workouts, active activities I did with my kids and healthy recipes.
I will also be adding some fun fitness/food facts and photos! 
I'm even more excited to be featuring some fabulous women who will share their stories and tips on how they are Fit2BMoms.
Hope you will keep following along.
I would love to hear/see your stories, workout routines and recipes. 
Join the party on Instagram using hashtag: #fit2bemom

Fit2BMom Monday Week #1.
Here's what I did today. 

WorkOut: 
-Walked 2 Miles to the park with the kiddos.
-50/50 Circuit (Cardio & Strength)
(Found on Pinterest here)
*This routine kicked my butt.
I said I was starting slow and when my legs almost gave out after the first round I BARELY made it through round 2 (after the kids went to sleep). 
Round 3 is gonna have to wait a few days or so.
Yes, I did my first round Circuit workout in the living room with both kids.  #gottadowhatyagottado
-Day 1 of 30 Day Plank Challenge
(Found here - Thanks Alana)

Healthy Activity With My Kids:
Took Hunter to the park where he got to run around for an hour.
He swung on the swings and he went up and down the slide about a million times and climbing those stairs with his little legs was a workout I am sure.
He LOVED it. 
Also had a little picnic where we ate apples and Special K Whole Wheat Crackers.
Delicious. 

Healthy Dinner:
Tonight I made grilled chicken, roasted carrots and brown rice.
The chicken I seasoned with pepper and garlic salt.
The carrots I used this Pinterest recipe.
(They were DELICIOUS)
The brown rice I added a little splash of soy sauce for flavor.
Great meal and super easy. 
Even Kevin & Hunter ate it.
I also tried out a new banana bread recipe substituting sugar free applesauce and honey instead of sugar and oil.
I also added a dash of nutmeg and a little cinnamon for some extra flavor.
It was pretty good.
(I will admit the recipe called for wheat flour which I didn't have so I will be interested to try it again and see if it still passes the taste test)

Daily Goals Met:
I drank 90+oz of water today.
No Soda.
No eating after 7pm. 

Fun Fact:
Breastfeeding burns up to 500 calories per day
(when exclusively breastfeeding)
Hooray for nursing moms! 

WorkOut Song of the Day:
Sexy & I know It by LMFAO.

Oh and for the record...
I also got ALL this laundry done.
How does one tiny extra person in the house make for so much more laundry.
Go Team.
