Fit Mommy Friday

weekly fitness encouragement for moms

Fit Mommy Friday: The Last Post

Yes, it is time to lay this Fit Mommy series to rest.  For almost 3 ½ years, it has helped many moms, including myself, to improve their fitness level. However, there seems to be little need for a Fit Mommy accountability group anymore.  We have all adopted healthy habits that have become an integral part [...]

Fit Mommy Friday: A Week of Summer!

encouraging each other to care well for the bodies God has given us by being active, eating wisely, and relaxing adequately Summer has arrived, at least for a week.  It’s delightfully warm, I’m no longer wearing undershirts, sweaters, and two pairs of socks, and the windows are open much of the day. Even better, we [...]

Fit Mommy Friday: Not Recording Fitness Activities

encouraging each other to care well for the bodies God has given us by being active, eating wisely, and relaxing adequately Continuing the experiment, I’m still not recording my exercise daily.  There are blank spots in my to-do book where there used to be lists of exercises and steps and, honestly, I miss it all.  [...]

Fit Mommy Friday: A New Approach

encouraging each other to care well for the bodies God has given us by being active, eating wisely, and relaxing adequately I’m trying an experiment.  For years I’ve been careful to keep track of how much I exercise to ensure that I’m doing enough while not doing too much. However, being without a functioning pedometer [...]

Fit Mommy Friday: Excuses, Excuses

                         encouraging each other to care well for the bodies God has given us by being active, eating wisely, and relaxing adequately Well, my energy finally came back on Tuesday afternoon and, rather than waste it on exercising, I did groceries. On Wednesday Miss [...]

Fit Mommy Friday: Another Slow Week

                      encouraging each other to care well for the bodies God has given us by being active, eating wisely, and relaxing adequately After a slow week last week, I hoped for energy this week.  I have a lot more of it, but not enough to [...]

Fit Mommy: A Very Slow Week

encouraging each other to care well for the bodies God has given us by being active, eating wisely, and relaxing adequately Last week’s Fit Mommy check in was almost perfect.  This week’s is the complete opposite.  I cannot understand how and why, but I’ve been able to do almost nothing this week.  Perhaps I was [...]

Fit Mommy Friday: Exercising Faithfully

encouraging each other to care well for the bodies God has given us by being active, eating wisely, and relaxing adequately I’m so thankful that all week long I’ve managed to do my exercises!  The number of repetitions of the Callanetics exercises seems to be perfect for me:  about 5-10 % of the recommended amount.   [...]

Fit Mommy Friday: Just Another Week

    encouraging each other to care well for the bodies God has given us by being active, eating wisely, and relaxing adequately It’s been an okay exercise week although the day we spent exploring Augustine College involved no exercise whatsoever.  Food wise, well, I’ve fallen off the yoghurt/soaked foods bandwagon and need to get back [...]

Fit Mommy: Working Within the Parameters God Gives Us

    encouraging each other to care well for the bodies God has given us by being active, eating wisely, and relaxing adequately Last week my husband reminded me to prioritize exercise, and I was doing well until Tuesday afternoon.  Walking, doing my physio exercises, and even starting, very carefully, a Callanetics program with Miss 15—all [...]
