(Sound familiar?) \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Then, I got pregnant. \u00a0Yeah!!!! \u00a0And during those 40 weeks, I let myself stay in this hazy zone and it worked really well for me! I kept working out in ways that felt good without pushing myself too hard and ate relatively well, but allowed for cravings <em>(ah! the donuts!)<\/em> and grace for whatever it was I felt like I needed during that time.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Then, the countdown of my daughter\u2019s birth and my life afterwards became a lot more real.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It was just a few weeks before her due date and I realized that I had NO DESIRE to go through the massive challenge that was the \u201cpost baby weight blues.\u201d \u00a0I\u2019ve had way too many friends and sisters describe that road and I wanted to avoid it at all costs!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>So, I did what I do best&#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>I made a DECISION to do something. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>I came up with a PLAN that would help me succeed in accomplishing it. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>I found the SUPPORT I would need to help me when that plan wasn\u2019t working. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s what that looked like\u2026<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Just before my daughter was born, I DECIDED I would get into the <em>best shape of my life<\/em> afterward.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Once I made that decision, I knew there was no going back&#8230;that I <u>had<\/u> to make that a reality. \u00a0So, I searched for the HOW.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The only thing I knew was that I would need some sort of a program, some sort of <u>super easy<\/u> way to incorporate workouts that got results back into my life. \u00a0And it couldn\u2019t mean being at the gym for hours&#8230;as a matter of fact, I knew it meant I didn\u2019t want to go to the gym at all (seriously, the logistics of leaving the house with a newborn is crazy&#8230;I wanted to make sure I didn\u2019t have to have the stars line up in order for me to actually work out!). \u00a0I needed workouts that were quick and easy to access from my house.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And I knew that I needed some sort of eating guide. \u00a0Yes, I was incredibly educated about nutrition by this point in my life, but I knew that leaning on a tried-and-true eating program would save me the mental responsibility for creating one for myself&#8230;again&#8230;I needed it to be EASY.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So, I reached out my cousin, who is an amazing Beach Body coach and got all set up with 30 minute workouts I could access from my computer and a meal plan I could easily follow.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And then\u2026<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I did THE MOST IMPORTANT PART of this whole thing that was the catalyst for me accomplishing my goal.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>I committed to it for 7 Days. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Now, you might be thinking&#8230;<em>Katie, there\u2019s no way you got into the best shape of your life in 7 days. \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019re right. \u00a0I don\u2019t mean that I only did this for 7 days, I mean that<strong> I KICKSTARTED my entire post-baby transformation with a short-term, totally DOABLE SPRINT.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For just 7 days, I focused entirely on following this program I knew would get me towards my goal of being in the best shape of my life!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Because I needed a BOOST to get the whole thing started!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Because I needed to trust my promise to myself that I would actually do it!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Because I needed something short term and digestible to concentrate on so I didn\u2019t get overwhelmed!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Because it was SO important to me to <u>follow through<\/u> with something I said was so important!
