It’s really important that you stay connected to your husband or partner while your pregnant because once you have your baby it will be even harder to find the time to connect.  Keep your relationship a top priority by spending quality “we” time together.  Make sure to keep him in the loop with how you’re feeling both emotionally and physically.  Keep him involved in the growth of your baby by going to appointments together and have him feel your belly often.  The more connected you are before baby comes the easier it will be after baby arrives. 

If you’re wanting to lose weight, start thinking about what your best self would look and feel like vs. comparing yourself to an unrealistic image in a magazine.  For example, was there a time in your life when you felt and looked great?  Close your eyes and think back to a time when you looked and felt your best.  Take out photos from this time and look at them often.  These photos will keep keep you focused on an attainable goal.  Making your goals attainable will keep you motivated and on track.

I have a mesomorph build, meaning petite and muscular.  I can bulk up really easily and I’ve found that yoga is a great choice for lengthing my muscles.  I’ve seen a big difference in my body since I started practicing yoga consistently.  My clients have also found great benefit in doing yoga including improving muscle tone and strength while reducing stress AND aiding in overall mood.  So no more delay, try yoga today!

Everyone has cravings, even me, especially chocolate cravings.  There is nothing wrong with having a small treat a day, however you can choose a healthier options.  For example, one of my favorite daily snacks is a handful of almonds mixed with a handful dark chocolate chips.  Dark chocolate is full of antioxidants and has been found to lower blood pressure and in some cases improve mood.  Almonds are high in fiber, protien, and potassium.  So what I call “the power combo” of almonds and dark chocolate chips will fulfill your craving and keep you healthy at the same time.  My motto, “it’s all about moderation and choosing the healthy choice”!

Most women notice a decrease in libido after baby because they’re tired and overwhelmed.  The key to boosting your desire is through feeling connected to your husband or partner.  I say, “date your mate”.  Your date need not cost a dime…you can enjoy each other’s company at home.  Cuddle and watch a movie, share a dessert, and keep the focus on the two of you rather than your kids.  Notice how when you’re feeling connected your desire will increase.  Make “we” time a priority- the more connected you feel emotionally and physically the better you’ll both feel!
