Multitasking and plan ahead on things even cooking plan what you're going to make in advance, plan around appointments. Workout first thing. I start my day making sure my kids are changed and fed then they'll play for a bit, while they play I'll take the monitor to watch them and workout. I have no access to gyms at the…

Some crepes and top with fruit then drizzle with anything you like. For a protein boost add whey to the egg white batter

Choose lower glycemic carbs, avoiding processed and refined carbs. Have protein with carbs never carbs alone. Soluble fiber foods- they help slow down absorption and elevation of blood sugar levels. Have smaller evenly spaced meals 5-6 a day eat at least every 2-3 hours

Don't give up! You are already making great progress! It can take a month to make a habit so keep consistent at it. It will get easier. After a few weeks you'll feel stronger and it'll be like you've been doing it for years

I add protein powder to food and drinks if I need more for a boost. Cheeses, steak, chicken, beef, pork and turkey, american farmed tilapia, shrimp, tuna, jerky, quinoa, hemp seeds- good on salads I even put eggs on salads, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, and protein bars..

Plyometrics and sprints will help activate and strengthen glutes muscles. Vary it up with weight and tempo. Some other moves to do would be glute bridges, deadlifts, walking lunges and curtsy lunge, step ups, kettlebell swings, side band walks, and cable kickbacks.. on lower body day try starting it with something glute…

I'm obsessed with idealfit preworkout. No calories, carbs, or sugar, has b vitamins, natural caffeine, and some aminos. They also have a caffeine free preworkout

Depending on your diet and health needs. I take a multivitamin and doesn't include iron but I know I get plenty in my diet. You can get plenty of iron easily in foods. Cereals, beans, dark green leafy veggies, breads and pasta, seafood, poultry, red meat and pork..etc

Marching in place, plank jacks, squat jumps, burpees, wall squats can help take pressure off your knees and it's a great strengthening move. Make sure you're landing on the balls of your feet with jumping moves. To make workouts easier try a supportive knee brace.

It's better to lose weight slowly than at a fast rate so you don't rebound. Increasing intensity and resistance, it may be time to change up your workouts if your body is accustomed to the same thing. Don't be afraid to lift those weights! Adding resistance training helps kick things in gear.

Maternity support belt will be your bestie in the 3rd trimester! It'll help with pressure and relieve back discomfort. And for after delivery for a few months I recommend tummy compression wraps by belly bandit I was still pretty achey and those helped a lot even with my posture

Aww, yeah their sleeping routines can change my toddler use to sleep till almost noon and now it's like 7-8am since I had my 2nd baby they both get up at the same time. Sometimes they get me up at 5am so I feed them and get started with my day even if I only get a few hours of sleep

The app must be buggy it won't post my whole comment. But working out early will help you plan the rest of your day and get more things done. I prefer working out first thing sometimes a preworkout will help perk you up if you're not feeling up to your mornings. Make sure you get enough sleep and have gym clothes by…

Screaming kids help me drag out of bed

I'd be concerned about metabolic damage and deficiencies in the long run. I'd run it by a dietitian they can help alter a patient's nutrition based on their medical condition and needs. Dietitians are regulated healthcare professionals licensed to assess, diagnose, and treat nutritional concerns.

Vary it up till you find something you like. My favorites are jumprope and crossramp elliptical. Treadmills and plain ellipticals bore me and I dread them it was a waste of time for my goals. Try kickboxing, swimming, spinning, rowing.. you'll just continue to lose motive if you don't enjoy what you do and eventually will…

I always make it a commitment to not eat after having my last meal for the day. Brush your teeth after having your last meal it'll keep you from that temptation plus everything tastes weird after brushing.

Try breastfeeding right away when baby is born within the hour to help stimulate, pump if you have to. That's what I did I pumped the whole time so I knew how much I was making for baby and he was getting plenty. Staying active throughout my pregnancy helped with cravings make sure you get plenty of water during pregnancy…

Maybe consider going to a workout group like spinning. Start weight training you'll improve bone health and metabolism. Take small steps and work your way up. Getting tested to see if something is off for aches and constant lack of energy. Plan your workouts sticking with a consistent routine can help ease your mind and…

Body weight exercises you can even use a weight in place of a kettlebell swing. Push-ups, dips, burpees, squats, lunges. Jumping in place like you would with a jumprope all are a great start. To find cheap home workout equipment go to local yard sales they're usually good finds or find things at your home like water jugs…

I lost baby weight super quick with breast pumping. It was also a great motive for me to keep going plus it's the best nutrients for baby. Nutrition and exercise are just as important during pregnancy. You'll just have to modify some moves as you get further along and listen to your body if something feels uncomfortable.…

Sometimes I split my workouts when I don't have extra time like first thing in the morning I'll do cardio then later on I do strength training. Try some high intensity interval training workouts or tabata where you alternate between 20 seconds of max training and 10 seconds of rest do 8 rounds of that, this way you get…

It was every 2-3 hours for the first couple of months. Then 4-6 hours as he got bigger and efficient with feedings. Amounts would vary around 15-20oz with each pumping session. I'd do it for 20-30 minutes. The extra I'd make I give to my older child for benefits mix in whole milk. she was also breastfed when she was born I…

Unisom sleep tabs is the only I found to help me. Melatonin was habit forming for me and felt groggy the whole day plus you have to cycle with it. I always hear lavender for the bedroom can help for a more natural way for sleeping as it helps with calming. May work for some but not with me. Make sure you're not taking…

Have a soon to be 3 year old and a 9 month old!

The progress you made is amazing!! To keep up your logs try putting reminders on your phone first thing for a certain time. If you feel it's too much do your logs at the end of the day. Maybe you need to vary things up. Plan things. I make sure I start my day first thing with a workout or I get so sluggish and lose motive…

Some moves to do are Wall sits, bird dog, knee to chest lying down, pelvic tilts and bridges, aerobic exercises- walking, biking, swimming, avoid twisting moves. Even Pilates is beneficial for back problems! There could be imbalances or something simple as improving posture. Using free weights can help with fat loss adding…

I was a big soda drinker myself and now its been years since not having any. You'll have bad headaches for a couple days if you stop cold turkey. That's what I did so I could just get it over with and not think about it. I replace it with tea I hate coffee so I have hot green tea every day some teas have a fruity taste I…

I had well over 2000 calories when breastfeeding both of my babies. I have a toddler and 9 month old. My cravings were horrible I couldn't bare keeping track of calories I didn't have any cravings pregnant though. My weight dropped like crazy which I was amazed by. At the time of giving birth I was 130lbs and he's almost 9…

Maybe add a bit more calories if you're active you definitely need more than that. B complex supplement support energy and metabolism. It doesn't give you a lot of boost but it's beneficial. I do notice I get sluggish if I don't workout for a day so I always make it a priority to workout first thing before I start my day…
