*Subtle hint we need to do this at every #FIT4MOM class... Repost @jesskilbane 👇🏼 ・・・ Oh my god, what if you wake up some day, and you’re 75, and you never got your memoir or novel written; or you didn’t go swimming in warm pools and oceans all those years because your thighs were jiggly and you had a nice big comfortable tummy; or you were just so strung out on perfectionism and people pleasing that you forgot to have a big juicy creative life, of imagination and radical silliness and staring off into space like when you were a kid? It’s going to break your heart. Don’t let this happen 🌿 . . . . . {🖊 wise words from @likeagirl__fitness } #motherhood #shineeverydamnday #patonthebacks #patontheback #positivity #positiveaffirmations #thinkhappythoughts #manifesting #mombod #postpartum #takebackpostpartum

One of our sweet mamas wrote a book called @mamasworkoutbuddybook, and here is our Founding Mama, Lisa, and CEO, Ash, with a copy. Author Carina Parks is part of the @fit4momsacramento village, and we are so proud of her! Books are available through Amazon (check our stories later this morning for the link and some heartfelt reviews). Carina will be at the National FIT4MOM conference next weekend selling her books, so come say hi and grab a copy! Not attending? Shop via Amazon 📚 . . "I work out at Stroller Strides, with my toddler in tow, 6 days a week. It’s become a regular part of our daily routine, and one that we both love and rely on. One thing I’ve noticed is that she is ALWAYS watching! It’s the greatest thing knowing that I’m instilling this norm of taking care of your body in my kids! And this book encapsulates this beautifully, the idea that exercise is fun- for both mama and kiddos! Carina does a great job bringing the reader along on a workout class and shows the joys that come with it! This book is a must-have for all Stroller Striders and mini Stroller Striders! 💕" @Katie_Did_What

“This is Motherhood. Mesh undies that come up to your boobs. The world’s largest maxi pad (seriously... I’m pretty sure these are in the Guinness Book of World Records...). Ice packs made from latex gloves because they fit your crotch... like a glove... 🤔. A spray bottle to wash your undercarriage. Dermaplast spray that provides some temporary relief to your recently destroyed lady bits... a stranger who assists you through the whole process of putting all these things to use & taking your first postpartum pee while your getting your sea legs. . Seriously // this is the stuff no one talks about. This is what you get told by the nurses as they watch your eyes glaze over in disbelief & confusion. As a first time mom, even IF you’re the lucky one who has a friend that breaks it to ya... it’s hard to process until it’s sitting in front of you. But you know the crazy part is...? . You don’t even care. All you can think about is the haze of what just happened, the gratitude for this kind stranger who’s providing gracious service & relief (seriously, you L&D nurses are the real MVPs), and the overwhelming love for this new little being who looks at you like you’re everything in this word that is good. . Mamas, this period of self-consciousness & pain & emotional toll & recovery, is very real, but it’s also very temporary. If no one warned you mama, I hope you find some peace in knowing now that this will pass & it’s a small piece of a much later & incredibly beautiful puzzle // motherhood.” Repost @marissavanskike . #postpartum #postpartumfitness #postpartumbody #postpartumjourney #breastfeeding #postpartumweightloss #bodyafterbaby #postbabybody #fitpregnancy #motherhood #newmom #fitmom #postbaby #pregnancy #mombod #birth #boymom #babywearing #newborn #yogamom #breastfeeding #normalizebreastfeeding #breastmilk #worldbreastfeedingweek #babywearing #breastfeed #postpartum #breastfeedingmom #wearallthebabies
