Fit Mommy Friday – Keeping it Real

Posted in Fitness

I am totally keeping it real this week as things did not go as planned… Level One: The Beginner level. This is for those of you who are brand new to exercise or for those who are not already participating in a consistent fitness program. Your goal should include at least 1 mild form of exercise per day (walking, low impact cardio) as well as one nutritional goal (drinking 8 glasses of water per day, keeping a food journal, eating a small salad with dinner). As I stated last week, I’m starting at the beginner level.  This past year, I have not been in a consistent fitness program.  Yes,…
