Story of My Sweaty Mom Life: Stubborn Baby Belly Fat

   Story of My Sweaty Mom Life: Stubborn Baby Belly Fat 



Let me tell you, stubborn baby belly fat has been my struggle since having my first son in 2009. Before conceiving him, I was always thick but I did not have much of stomach.  Anyway, I snapped back pretty well after giving birth to him, I was still in my 20s, but after having my daughter in my 30s, it’s one of thee hardest things to rid myself of. I know it’s a struggle for other women as well. My 4 year-old daughter is always playing with it, all I can do is laugh to keep from crying. Loose skin is literally the pits, I’m determined to tighten it as tight as physically possible through holistic methods. 

I celebrate the fact that I have lost 50lbs naturally without any:

  • Pills
  • Liquid shots
  • Waist Trainers
  • Surgery
  • Restrictive dieting 
However, I’m not numb to the fact that I have loose skin around my stomach due to giving child birth and obesity. Im human, I go through the motions at times. Sometimes, I’m make a joke out of the wiggle that it has; other times I’m frustrated by it. My fav saying… it is what it is. I love myself regardless. I was able to conceive, carry, and birth two healthy, well adjusted kids!!! I’m as bomb as I want to be!!  All I can do is work this vessel that God gave me. And I am working this vessel!

Diary of a Sweaty Mom: Do You Even Lift?!

  Do You Even Lift?!!   I got that quote from a motivation playlist on Apple Music. It’s one of my fav selections as well because it gets me so pumped to LIFT and go hard. However, at one point I did NOT lift! I avoided it like the plague.  Listen , I used to be the cardio QUEEN!!!!! I would do everything but touch the weights. If I had to, I usually kept it light because I was afraid of bulking up.  I was completely ignorant to how beneficial strength training can be. As a result, my upper body strength suffered.    Many women, avoid the weights at the gym or in their home gym. Personally, I’ve had weights for a long time but barely touched unless I was doing some aerobic exercises.  However, it’s not uncommonly to just neglect strength training all together. According to a study by the American Journal of Preventative Health, nearly 60 percent of people do NOT do any strength training of any kind at all (2018). That’s a huge problem!    My ...

Introduction to Diary of a Sweaty Mom : Who?! Why Are You Here?!!       Allow me to introduce myself, I am THEE sweaty mom that this blog is about, Stacey Nicole!!!  I am a busy mom of 2, fitness enthusiast, and future accountability partner/coach. I love, love, love to be able to maneuver my body in new ways while building my stamina, eating well, and losing weight.  I like being able to play with my kids without losing my breath, or worrying about my knee/back pain. Being a mom, working full-time in the healthcare industry, maintaining the home and my relationship; leaves me without much time for myself but I make it happen. I have no choice! I've learned that if I don't make time for myself, then who the hell will?!         Now, I haven't always been a fitness enthusiast; nah, not at all!  Growing up in St. Louis, MO, I was always the "thick" girl in the group since as long as I can remember. I've always been the "bigger" k...

Busy Moms: Last on the Priority List

  Busy Moms: Last on the Priority List   As a busy mother of two, I have been guilty of putting my health needs last on my list of things to do. According to a survey in Healthy Women and Working Mothers, more women have the same issue with putting their health first! Check out the stats!  The high percentage of women who put their health and wellness last on the list is astounding. However, as a busy mom who associates with other busy moms, this information is not entirely surprising! I don’t know how many times I have heard women state that they would do this or that regarding their health and fitness journey but just simply can’t figure out how to fit themselves into their busy schedule. The kids always need something or the family always comes first, so YOU take a backseat. Then it becomes a habit that is hard to break, which leads to neglect of your health and wellness.  That neglect could be your potential downfall, you could end up dead before you decide that...
