No Equipment Home Workout|Get Fit February

Being a mum I don't always find time in my day to go to the gym or go out for a run, and sometimes a walk with bubs doesn't cut it and I want a really good workout, but I will always make time for some kind of exercise. I have put together this little workout that Is fantastic it brings up a sweat and you get that good workout burn! Under each exercise I will link a video so you can see how to do the exercise, even the easiest ones ha ha just in case!

This is my go to home workout No equiptment needed, it doesn't take long to do so NO EXCUSES! You could definitely add weights to some of the exercises to add that little extra! It works every muscle and I am always sore the next day just like how a good workout should be, give it a try out in the backyard the lounge room do it where ever you can and tell me how you find it! Happy working out! X x x Sammie

Juicing||Get Fit February

Lately I have joined the juicing train and have become totally obsessed, Juices are so incredibly healthy and an amazing tasty way to sneak in those extra fruit and vegies into your diet! I think juices and juice cleanses are the perfect way to kick start your health and Get Fit February journey. I love the brand called Pressed Juices I really reccomend you check out there website, they taste amazing! They ship to all the main cities in Australia.I just buy in bulk and they last really well,They also do cleanses. Even though I love pressed juices it works out to be really expensive to keep ordering them online, so I wanted to share with you some of my favourites that I make at home! 

Carrot Beetroot and Apple Juice:

- 2 carrots

- 1 Beetroot 

- 2 apples 

- 1 celery stick 

- 2 oranges 

- small slice of ginger 

Apple and Spinach Juice:

- 2 green apples

- 1 celery stalk 

- large handful of spinach leaves

- a few mint leaves 

- 1/2 lime juice 

Beetroot and Pineapple Juice:

- 1 Beetroot 

- 46g of red cabbage (can be left out, but you can't taste it)

- 2 carrots 

- 1/2 lemon

- 1 orange 

- 1/4 pineapple 

- large handful of spinach 

Apple and Orange Juice:

- 2 green apples 

- celery stalk 

- small slice of ginger 

- 1/4 lemon with rind 

- 1 large orange

- large handful of spinach  

These are all such delicious juices and so healthy for you! Of course you could take out what you dont like or add in something you think would be good in it, these would serve around two people but you could double the recipe! I would love to know what juices you ladies love if its homemade or a juice company! X x x Sammie 

Make Time For You-Shoutout to the Mummas| Get Fit February

I am the first one to admit that I really didn't make enough time for myself. Becoming a mum really through me off with the concept of focusing on me. Firstly because I was,a first time mum and wanted to get the whole parenting thing down fully before I focused on myself,I went about 3 weeks straight up no make up and hair in a pony or top knot everyday and if you know me you know I am not usually the type of person not to maintain my appearance. Once I kinda.. Sort of got the whole parenting thing, It kind of sunk it how much weight a I really did have to lose, I remember I just looked im the mirror and I can quote what I said "Shit how fat did a i get during pregnancy, this will take 5 years to get rid of". By my reaction you would think righto she's going to get right to buisness, and lose what she wants to lose. But not this one, I was so overwhelmed, I had never been that big in my life. I wasn't fat but I just wasn't use to seeing myself at that weight (without a bump it sinks in). So I decided just to forget about it and breastfeeding did help a bit and thats why I was kinda like oh its just coming off I'll keep doing this. But after a bit it all slowed down breastfeeding wasn't helping and I was left feeling and looking flabby as hell, I hated my body I didn't feel like Sammie. Thats when I thought F**k this so I called Jess and this was the best thing, she's worked with a lot of mums and knows what to Say to get us motivated. Her key message was Make time for you. And it was so true. At that stage I had a husband who was willing to look after Ri while I worked out (3x a week with Jess), and did the grocery shopping for healthy produce and I started noticing huge changes in my body, and also the people around me were noticing.. So I knew I was doing something right by making just that little bit of time for myself!

"No matter how slow you go, you are still lapping everybody on the couch"

Now it has become much harder being separated and just being me and Ri, but I had to keep making time for me other wise everything would just go down hill. I have a nanny who will watch Ri when I am working but I didn't really want a nanny with him every minute of the day I'm the mum I should be with him. But I had to make time for me aswell as Riley. I now take one day off a week where I spend the whole day with Riley, If I workout I will do a DVD so Riley can sit and watch on the couch and play. I make sure every morning We play together and I get to see him wakeup. And I will put him to bed. So my me time is usually in the afternoon, NO EXCUSES, and I do at least an hour workout, only and hour if he is with his nanny but maybe a little extra if he is with a family member. 

"Believe in redefining your impossible"

Its a time where I can focus on my body, and I feel like now that I'm 100x more self confident i'm a better parent. so new mummas, any mum who doesn't make enough time for them anything is possible, you deserve a bit of time for you! This isn't just for new mums this is for anyone who is leading a crazy life or feels like they have no time MAKE TIME! It doesn't have to be going to the gym how you spend your you time it could be a pedicure, or a shopping trip all that stuff is good for your mental health. But trust me if I didn't bite the bullet to go to Jess and say to myself I need to do something for myself for once, its not being selfish, its improving me as a person... I would just be getting bigger and bigger and becoming unhealthy and unhealthier. DO SOMETHING FOR YOU! X x x Sammie

Riley's First Birthday!

My baby boy is now 1 years old! I can't believe he has been in my life for one year, it feels like just yesterday I was in the labour room in a shit load of pain giving birth to this cheeky one. it has gone extremely quickly, he's Growing up way to fast (doesn't every mumma say that) but it is true. he is the biggest blessing and everyday I am so grateful for him, he doesn't even know how much joy and strength he gives me (aghh look at me getting all teary) just love my baby boy more than words can describe, Mummas I'm sure your feeling me on this one! I think most children get thrown a huge 1st birthday and Riley was no exception.. I wanted to go all out,I mean he his such an angel he totally deserved it!!! Riley is obsessed with the boats, pirates, sailors and just any thing to do with the ocean so I took that concept and planned the whole day around that! Everyone had such a great time, even the adults, I didn't want the adults being bored! We played games, ate cake, danced, opened what seemed like a thousand presents and soo much more. I can't wait to plan his 2nd birthday.. Seriously kids birthdays are so much fun to plan.. Like SO much fun.. It was the best day!!! 

Riley on his birthday morning.. Waiting for presents!

Rocking his new track suit from G'ma which he loves (she wanted him to put it on right away ha ha) even though it was boiling hot haha.. He lasted 2 seconds in it!!!

Our thankyou's to our guests, writing book and coloured crayons, can't go wrong! 

Bubbles dessert and sailor teddies.. Kids dream! 

I can say our dessert table was truly a hit.. For the kids oh and also the adults! 

How cute are the sailor themed pop corn boxes!!

We did invite quite a few people so this area was perfect.. So I didn't have 100000 kids running around crazy, this room is so plain so the HUGE balloons, and wind mills made this the perfect party room!! 

This Cake.. The cutest kids cake maybe EVER!!! It was chocolate inside who wouldn't love!!! 

This was such an amazing day and something I will always remember.. And something that Riley will always look back on with photos and videos (seriously I think I may have over done it)! Thanks to everyone who came and made this memory with us and Riley is living in toy heaven right now thanks everyone from the R Man!!!! A memory that will never be forgotten X x x Sammie
