While, everyone has their different opinions and methods to loosing weight (in my case baby weight) and toning I am just explaining to you the way I am doing it. I am by no means a doctor, personal trainer or anything that would remotely qualify me from giving you advice so I am simply just explaining what I do!
Having Braydon changed my body the most, your skin never really goes back quite as tight and things start to sag a bit if you breast feed but that doesn’t mean you still can’t look and feel pretty in your own skin. I actually loved my body again a few months after having Braydon and working hard. Two and a half years later I had Walker. It has now been 8 weeks since I had him. I have not lost all of my baby weight that I gained, I am about 5 lbs heavier but I am also focusing more on building muscle this time vs. just getting skinny, and as we all know muscle weighs more than fat.
My jeans are still a little tight and some don’t even button yet, but thats okay. I am loosing the weight slowly and healthy.
Okay, so anyways here is my workout routine and my protein.
I work out 5 out of 7 days. I usually always take Sunday off and alternate between Friday and Saturday off. An example of a weeks work out is below:

I always follow my workout with a protein drink. I am absolutely loving a banana in my protein too for a creamier sweeter flavor. I literally wake up in the morning craving my protein shake because it tastes like a dessert. I am drinking Garden of Life Raw Fit Protein . I am mixing one scoop with one cup of skim milk and a banana. I also am loving their Organic Whole Food Bars to keep in my diaper bag or for a quick snack when I am trying to juggle both boys. I love that I can trust these products to be all natural and free of artificial ingredients!
As I said before, I am by no means a professional or qualified to give workout routines but I get a lot of questions about what I am doing, and this is it! Hope this helps!!
