The Fit Nut Coach

We didn’t run this weekend, but we wanted to…
We try again this week.

Summer bodies are made in winter. Too cold to wake up early and go to the gym? Here is a full body workout you can do with 1 mini band (or glute band)

Mini Band Workout - Not Just For Your Glutes! Full body workout using a mini band or glute band

Baba naps while mama plans!
So last week I had a fairly severe meltdown over my returning to work and leaving this little bu**er - blog post on this coming soon.
But I marched myself off to the dr for some medicinal support. I’ll openly admit to that any day of the week.
But now thanks to the mind being slightly calmer I am able to focus more on the long term goals. The dream always has been to work for myself but now that fuel has been added to the fire I am more determined than ever before to make this dream a reality.
Will working for myself with a little be easy?! Lol no! And I am under no illusions that it will be. Will it be easier than leaving him with someone else while I go back to work?! It must be right?! Cos the idea of leaving him all day is quiet literally the worst feeling in the world!!
Lots of exciting things coming from The Fit Nut Coach soon, especially if the little man continues to nap 😴💙😂

How our year started vs how it’s ending 😂 little did we know what 2022 had in store for us during that trail run in Westville. I was unknowingly pregnant at the time and would be pregnant within a few weeks of this run.
Today we got together and restarted our running journeys after two healthy pregnancies and two new beautiful boys having been bought into this world.

Did I really go for a run, in the rain, on Boxing Day??
Yes, yes I did. Why you ask?!
Because postpartum anxiety is a real thing and it has attached me in full force over this last week. I only have about 3 more weeks at home with my boy and it’s killing me. I get weepy every time I think about the fact that I won’t be in his presence for 8 hours or more every day and it is the sh*test feeling ever!!
Will I be seeking help this week to cope with this anxiety? Yes! As soon as I can because I’d like to enjoy this time with my boy and I need a clear head to action the plans I have in there!!
Stay tuned…

Braved a run again today. All previous runs I have battled with inner knee pain. Not a usual knee pain for me. I’m a traditional ITB sufferer. But I have been pretty consistent with the cycling and that seems to have made a difference. Felt so strong when I got back from the run that I thought I’d give some me strength training a crack. I powered through and it was a super sweaty workout thanks to load shedding!!
Baba then gifted me with a 2 hour afternoon nap. Recovery done right?! 😂

Little bub has not been a happy chappy this week despite what this face says. He had vacations last week and he always struggles the worst 7-10 days later with high temps. So Moms fitness has taken a back seat. It’s only a few training sessions I miss out on and I gain a ton of extra cuddles, you do the maths… I’m definitely winning at the end of the day. Except when he spews all over me…then I don’t feel like a winner 😂

The latest ramblings of this nut is live. Link to the blog is on n my bio. Most of my recent blog posts are thought up and typed while nap trapped under the cutest thing I’ve ever made so they should be inspired by lots of serotonin 😂
