6 weeks until The Krewe of Athena takes over Veterans Blvd. Parade practice is in full swing!

6 weeks postpartum vs 5 months postpartum

I'm not doing anything extreme. I'm still trying to find routines that work for my new normal while keeping a baby alive & entertained 🤪

I try to eat clean, but I have the occasional treat. I try to drink lots of water, but some days I'm fueled by caffeine. I try to move my body daily, but some days things don't go as planned.

But this is a reminder that consistency over time pays off more than occasional perfection.

If you want a realistic example of fitness, you should follow & check back often.

Last year I joined the Krewe of Athena, then I got pregnant & missed parade season, but 2026 is my year!

I ran my first 5K 16 years ago. Since then I've run countless 5Ks, sone 10Ks, 2 half marathons, 2 Ragnar relays and hundreds of training runs. I've run in several states and other countries. I've been in 2 print magazines, 1 digital, and co-founded a run club . All because I didn't listen to 1 naysayer.

Ignore the people who tell you that you can't do something because it's "hard."

I SAID WHAT I SAID! But for real, can we talk about this? I can't be the only one who doesn't think the nail shop is relaxing. I love the outcome, but not the process.

Do you agree or disagree?

November was about finding my new normal as a mom. I've been working on finding new routines and new habits, because my old ways aren't compatible with my new reality.

Gone are 2 hour gym workouts at 5am. Gone are evenings spent creating and editing content. And gone are uninterrupted nights of sleep 🥱

BUT change doesn't mean we quit. Change means we pivot. We adjust. We figure it out. And for me, November was the beginning of that.

Here's to more growth & progression in December 🥂

I love a challenging, sweaty workout myself, but hear me out...

➡️ Consistent low impact workouts are better than inconsistent super challenging workouts.

➡️ Walking daily is going to give you better long-term results than 2-3 high intensity workouts per month.

So, if you are struggling to exercise consistently, try walking.

✨️ Bonus: You don't need a gym membership and you don't need a lot of expensive equipment.

Working out in the gym has been a habit of mine for 20 years. So transitioning to motherhood, new responsibilities & new time restrictions has been a challenge to say the least.

Social media shows us women bouncing back immediately and seemingly having more than the 24 hours the rest of us have in a day.

That hasn't been my story.

I've been walking more than running and I have yet to return to the gym, opting for at home workouts instead.

BUT I miss the gym. I miss training hard. So, I'm working on a plan that will allow me to return to some of those things.

Stay tuned.

You don't lack motivation. You lack systems. 👇🏽

Busy people aren't lazy, they just run on max capacity. If your fitness routine requires you to make extra decisions (find clothes, fill water, find keys,etc ) when you're already running on overload, you will skip it.

So what can you do? Plan ahead.

👉🏽 Put everything you need (your gym clothes, water bottle, headphones, and keys) in one spot, right by the door.

👉🏽 With everything ready, all you have to do is grab everything and go

👉🏽 This system reduces the mental energy of starting. It literally makes it easier to go than to skip.

Stop depending on willpower. Build a routine that makes the right choice the easiest choice. ‼️

Motivation is great for starting, but Discipline is what gets long-term results.

We all have those days when our energy is low and skipping the workout feels easier.

That's where discipline comes in.

Discipline is the promise you make to yourself to show up. It’s choosing your long-term goals over short-term comfort.

Consistency, especially when no one is watching, is where real change happens. When motivation dips (and it will!) depend on your discipline. That's the secret to success.
