#postpartum

I forgot who I was for a few years. I had zero goals. I was on autopilot. Just trying to make it to bedtime. That sucks typing out, but it’s true. Motherhood is amazing, but I think most of us go all in and forget there should be balance. We’re taught to be selfless. But girl, you can’t pour from an empty cup 🫶🏽. Taking time for myself saved me. Muscles are cool. But I go for my mental health. If you’re in that place, I get it. It’s not selfish, it’s necessary & you’re worth it. #musclemommy #momswholift #fitmom #fitmomlife #selfcare #gymgirl #fitnesstruth #fitlife #fitnessjourney #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #depression #postpartum #selfcare #fyp

I didn’t “get my body back” postpartum. . My body is forever changed postpartum. . In the best way possible. . When I was pregnant, people would tell me all the time that I would miss my old body & that things just wouldn’t be the same PP. There was always a negative connotation behind these statements & it honestly stressed me out during my pregnancy thinking I would never get my strength & endurance back. . When I first started working out again PP, I was so defeated. I had trouble engaging my core, I had to do push-ups on my knees & I couldn’t do a single, unassisted pull-up. . Spending time working out gave me mom guilt. I constantly felt like I had to be tending to my son or working around the house. I felt judged by society for taking any time away from my mom duties to workout, but the truth is, working out & spending that time on myself, made me a more present mom. . I joined a crossfit gym & that gave me just the motivation I needed to take control of my health & build back my strength PP. I was surrounded by so many other strong moms & I felt empowered to fall back in love with fitness. . I can honestly say I am stronger, faster & more resilient now than I ever was before having a kid. Not by luck, but by making a decision to show up EVERY. DAY. (even when it was hardest). . God’s design for the female body is truly so beautiful & amazing! Don’t underestimate His design 🫶🏼 #postpartum #postpartumfitness #transformation #consistency #workhard #luck #lucky #trending #reels
