How to deal with the Busy mom life

Life as a busy mom can be highly overwhelming sometimes, and it's OK TO FEEL THAT WAY.

It's okay to feel like you are running in circles, it's okay to not get it all done.

 

Something lately I have been focusing on is doing what makes me feel good, not everything is hit perfect every day right now for me, and that's ok, I don't shame myself anymore, I don't feel bad. It is what it is.

 

I take my #6ToFixHH and do what I can each day and try not to miss the same habit 2x in a row. 

 

This is life right we are never going to be less stressed, less busy, less crazy THIS IS LIFE we have to accept that and do what we can instead of doing nothing and waiting for a perfect time. 

 

Find the love for yourself to do something each day that makes you feel your best momma.

 

I hope this is helpful, my life has been so busy with softball every day and my business and babysitting my grandson that I literally feel like I am drowning and I just wanted to let you...

For the struggling momma

I struggle too…


I have days that I feel not good enough, not smart enough, not pretty enough, not strong enough, not making enough money.


LS FITNESS AND BEAUTY, LLC was born 4/26/2017, I have been full time coaching for 3 years, prior to that I was an area parts office manager for 13 locations for an oil field company for 15 years, during this time I started coaching about 2015 while I was still working at the oil field office.


I made so much money at that company, I was high up, why the hell did I leave?


My passion is to serve others within the health and fitness industry, Gods vision for me wasn’t making bank in the oil field.


I am putting in hours, posting, messaging women who have questions, not really getting that many paid clients at the time, stress from bills, oh hey and the whole having 7 kids thing L O L…


Sometimes I take an hour or 2 to write a post and crickets... Or I do a live-in my amazing momstrong356 FB group and out of 600 maybe 40 watch it, day...

How to be successful in the gym

gym mom success weights Jul 11, 2021

You want to lift weights in the weight section but you’re scared

 

Wasting time in the gym? Just doing cardio instead…

 

Girl me too! I literally had no idea what machines to do and lifting with the barbell Um no thank you!

 

I would get intimidated by the weights and just go do cardio and leave. 

 

Believe me, You are not the only one that is intimidated by the weight section!

 

I was for a long time, I slowly worked up the courage and started to use random machines still didn’t have a plan but just did legs one day, arms one day and well that’s it, and did it again. 

 

I really wanted to squat with the barbell but I had no idea about form or what workouts to do with other workouts. 

 

UNTIL - I had a PLAN, no more wasting time trying to figure out what to do, and how much to do! I also really wanted to get strong and it’s just so empowering to lift heavy and be a strong mom!

 

Here are some tips...

Kids and beer

2 things you probably don't know about me…

I never wanted any kids and I love the taste of beer

Haha super random but I have 7 kids + a grandson and never wanted any! I had a son at 17. Then I met my current husband 4 years later. He had 5 kids and they truly needed a mom to give them stability and life they could never have had otherwise, I was that mom. Oh and he was that dad because my sperm donor skipped out. I knew God had a plan that def was not my plan. Then we decided we needed to have one together lol cause 6 wasn’t enough!

Being a stepmom is F’n hard you do all the things like literally I raised them ALL never missed a ball game, never missed a dance competition, filled out all their enrollment forms and if you're a mom you know that shit took forever for 7 kids, ps they all lived with us (they still do but 1) I took on the duties of the MOM from day 1, but somehow still felt like a stepmom, if you know, you know it's hard to explain the feeling of hurt...

Busy Mom Gas Station Food Guide

 

For the busy on the go momma whether it's running crazy, forgetting a meal, whatever your life throws at you, you can still put in messy action and meet your macro goals while having to stop at the gas station or even the ballpark concession stand!

 

I used to have such a fixed mindset that if I couldn't cook at home then I would just start over Monday, I literally had no idea what to get at the gas station if we had to stop there, so I would just say F it and get a bag of chips and a coke and those fixed thoughts led to my actions of doing nothing and giving up until Monday when everything was perfect at home with my meals. I was getting nowhere with that plan and when I shifted my mindset to this isn’t perfect but I still can make choices that serve me with thought and effort, then I started to think outside of the box and really change my body with a MINDSET shift WHAT!!!

 

I know I don’t want to eat gas station food, or fast food, or even...

Overcoming Mommy GUILT

Mommy GUILT, YOU, & BOUNDARIES

As Moms we feel like as soon as we get the title MOM, we immediately feel like we have to come last, we have to stay up all night doing laundry, we never should have time alone...

 

Not sure why we feel like doing these things makes us a better mom because it doesn't at all!

 

Your kids could care less that you stayed up all night, or that you didn't eat because you fed everyone in your family first and were just to exhausted after you fed everyone else and cleaning up to feed yourself, they do not care that you have no alone time.

 

Being a Mom does not mean we stop taking care of ourselves. What it should mean is we take care of ourselves more because we have these littles looking at everything we do and we want to be able to grow old and play with them outside and see them grow. Ps that takes you feeling good and taking care of yourself mentally and physically NOW!

 

We have to Overcome mommy guilt.

4 THINGS I WOULD CHANGE IF I HAD TO START MY HEALTH JOURNEY OVER AGAIN

 

1 I would have fueled my body with enough food. So a lot of us women we under-eating and overtraining, so I would have fueled my body ahead of time ate enough food to be ready to diet to earn the right to diet. To get to where I wanted to be.

2 I would have strength trained first. So a lot of us think that we need to go do cardio We’ll lose the weight and then we'll tone our muscle, is what we all think right? So we go into the gym, We're super nervous we go straight to the cardio equipment,
even if we had a plan and we knew what we're going to do for the time in the gym. We still get nervous and we go straight to cardio do 30 minutes of cardio and we leave and we go home. I would go strength train have a great program gets stronger and focus on that instead of focusing on cardio.

3 I would not have done any fad diets. The first thing you want to do is take out carbs. Keto wasn't like super popular whenever I lost my weight, but low carb was, so I was restricting all my fun...

How To Get Your Kids To Eat Healthier!

 

So today I want to give you some tips on how to get your kids to eat a little bit healthier, and teach them why we do the things that we do.

So the first thing is protein, we all know that we struggle to get our protein in. Most of our diets are high in fats and carbs, which is okay to have those foods. It's okay to eat fats and carbs. But we want to get enough protein in, we want to have, lean strong muscles. We want to have strong bones and getting that protein in is really going to help that so we want to teach our kids about protein, teach them what foods have protein.

So how do we do this?  Instead of giving them the option of chicken or french fries, let's give them the option of grilled chicken or chicken nuggets and not give them an option to not eat protein. So make sure there are two different kinds of proteins, it's okay for them to have the french fries. So if your child picks the chicken nuggets and french fries, that's totally great. So we're...
