JUGGLING MOMMY DUTIES WITH FITNESS

Let’s face it: Moms are busy. Crazy busy.

Whether you’re up all night with a newborn, chasing a toddler around or shuttling everyone to their various activities, it can be challenging to find time to focus on your own self-care.

Here are tips to get you into healthy habits even when you’re super pressed for time.

1. Schedule It

If you don’t make healthy habits a priority, chances are they won’t happen. Literally write everything on the calendar in specific time slots. You will probably need to eliminate some things to make time for yourself.

2. Eat a Good Breakfast

Breakfast really is the most important meal of the day. Start your day with protein to stay full and satisfied much longer. Don’t have time to cook a full breakfast? A fruit smoothie with protein powder is a great on-the-go option.

3. Do Mini Workouts

If you struggle to fit in 30 minutes of exercise at once, breaking your exercise sessions. Do some stretches first thing in the morning and take a walk on your lunch break. You’ll get the same calorieburning cardiovascular benefits without having to block off big chunks of time.

4. Get Your Sleep

The amount of sleep you get at night can have a direct effect on how many calories you consume during the day. Most moms don’t have time to rest, so the solution is to grab a sugary, caffeinated drink or a not-so-healthy snack to get a quick boost..

5. Stay Hydrated

Drinking plenty of water helps boost your metabolism and cleanse your body of waste. Being hydrated also helps you avoid taking in extra calories from sugary beverages. And water will push yourself harder during workouts if you stay hydrated.

Just remember to be patient with yourself.

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY
