Trim your Tummy - How to FALL back into Shape

Okay, so you had September to get the family back into the school routine and the "I just don't have the time" excuse can no longer be used when it comes to taking action to trim your tummy. Here's what Holly Rigsby, busy Mom and CPT has to say about Falling back into shape this fall:

There is no better time than NOW to take a step back and either create a plan that works for you OR re-evaluate the plan you have been following and make some adjustments so you can continue to see results.

Think about this:

We expect our children to learn and follow a new routine.
We expect our children to recount the days lessons.
We expect our children to challenge themselves.
We expect our children to recover from the day's adversities.
We expect our children to learn from their mistakes.

Why not expect the same of ourselves?

We've motivated our children to begin a new school year, so share some of that motivation with yourself!

Here are 5 Back to School Fit Tips to get you started:

1. Avoid Morning chaos.
Prep it all the night before. Mornings do not have to start off stressing you to the max. With a little planning, everyone's day can begin with confidence and a smile.

2. Breakfast.
Take the time to eat the most important meal of the day. Moms are notorious for skipping this meal for they are simply too busy taking care of everyone else. Do something different this school year and fuel your body each and every morning. My favorite: egg white omelet, yogurt and blueberries. Quick, satisfying and super energizing.

3. Mark your calendars.
You schedule your children's events, schedule your workouts, they are just as important.

4. Eliminate Afternoon Cravings.
Enjoy an after school snack with your children. Fresh fruit and a handful of nuts is a healthy and energizing snack for everyone.

5. Get Moving.
Kids need 60 minutes of physical activity every day, so join them! Take it outside after school. Tyler's favorite back yard game - Kick Ball. We somehow manage to make him roll on the ground in laughter every time.

When you take a step back and identify the simple steps you can take each day to incorporate a fit and healthy lifestyle, it becomes 10 times more manageable.

Fall is the season to jazz up your efforts to trim your tummy and notice a positive change to how you look and feel this fall.
