During my pregnancy I gained 60 pounds. I was very discouraged and when I would tell people how hard it was to gain weight that I’d never had before, they would say, “oh you’ll lose it so fast after the baby, don't even worry” so I was relying on that. But the reality was, it didn’t just come off easily. Through all of this and the negative self talk I was having with myself, in the back of my mind I kept thinking, “I should contact Tamara but I live in Farmington now and she's all the way in Draper. I can’t drive 40 minutes consistently!” I kept giving myself excuses and I kept putting it off because I felt a bit ashamed that I had put on weight and a little fearful of what she might think of me now. But I knew deep down that she would hold no judgment and I remembered how good I felt when I was consistently going to her classes. I trusted the process, committed, and gave it my all. I finished her 12 week program and had amazing results. I drove to Draper a few time and workout at my home using her online studio the other days of the week. When I first started working out at home I thought, “it doesn’t work for me to work out at home. I can’t stay motivated at home” It took some will power to wake up before my baby and workout at home for the first 4 weeks. Once I started seeing results, it became easier and my body was loving the consistent exercise between home and going to the studio. I hit my pre-pregnancy weight a few days ago, almost exactly 10 months later. I am feeling fabulous! But more important than the number on the scale, I have gained knowledge on how and what to eat, I have a new mindset of flipping negative thoughts, and I have tools for the future to keep me aligned on my journey of optimal health
