Now more than ever (as a new mum), [I] don\u2019t have time to waste by putting on mascara and foundation. My skin gets pretty red when I work out, so I naturally don\u2019t want to irritate it, which is another reason why I don\u2019t wear makeup. Before I go to the gym, I put on my lightweight moisturizer, and after I wash my face at the gym, I put on some Chapstick.<\/p>\n How has your workout routine changed since becoming a mom?<\/strong><\/em> What advice do you have for new moms who are trying to get back into shape?

\nMy bag is super simple. I don\u2019t like to stay at the gym to shower and get ready, so I have the bare essentials in my bag to get me through my workout. I cannot be at the gym without my headphones or my phone because it holds my music. If they don\u2019t go into my bag, I literally can\u2019t concentrate or get motivated. I then have a good shea butter lip balm because there\u2019s nothing worse than cracked and dry lips when you\u2019re sweating. Also, a concealer stick in case I need to cover up a pimple as I leave.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/static-blog.fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/07104255\/065A4951.jpg\")

\nI guess the only thing that has changed with my routine is how much time I spend at the gym. I have to be more aware of not wasting my time away from Shai, so I do a more compact gym session and generally just pack more into my time there.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/static-blog.fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/07104725\/065A4843.jpg\")

\nMy number one advice is patience. Have patience with your body and really just rest and love the process. It\u2019s a ridiculously hard thing to do, believe me. I went through everything that every other mom did. There were days where I wouldn\u2019t listen to people when they told me how beautiful I looked, but then I had days where I sat back, and actually saw how great I looked and I appreciated [myself] and what my body had done. It\u2019s an incredibly overwhelming experience, but the more you embrace the changes, the happier you will be because they aren\u2019t permanent. You will get your body back when it\u2019s ready
\nand I would put money on the fact that you\u2019ll even love your post-baby body more! At first, I looked like a different person \u2014 I didn\u2019t recognize my body and it scared me. Positive thinking and continually telling yourself that it will take time will alleviate your mind from getting annoyed if you aren\u2019t back in two weeks.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/static-blog.fabfitfun.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/07104712\/065A4490.jpg\")

\nMy advice would be to start taking some fun classes. Don\u2019t start in the advanced levels, and then get put off. Start slow and have fun! Dancing is something that makes everyone happy as it\u2019s been proven to boost endorphins and cure people from illness. I don\u2019t know what I would do if I couldn\u2019t dance. It\u2019s a way to express yourself and to feel whatever emotion you feel at that time. Finding someone who loves to do it with you is also fun, and as you have seen, many relationships have begun from people being paired up!<\/p>\n
\nMy style can be very different depending on my mood. I am a super classic girl. I love my black and white palettes, and I\u2019m a huge fan of a structured outfit with a cinched waist. I am also very willing to try some \u201cout there\u201d outfits as long as it\u2019s classy. I feel like I have a split personality when it comes to my style: I could be in sweats all day, and then I could be super glam in a ball gown. I also just can\u2019t get enough of the staple jeans, white tees, and white sneakers.<\/p>\n
