Welcome Marla Arndt - New Guest Blogger

I have the joy of introducing Marla Arndt from Frameworks Fitness and author of our monthly Frameworks Fit Tip on our monthly newsletter. Being a mom herself Marla has an inside view on what we all go through on a daily basis. She will be joining us as a guest blogger once a month to guide us in how we can take better care of ourselves and therefore better care of our family.

Here is Marla's first message:

I didn’t always work out or eat healthily. My story is like that of many other women who have struggled with weight and body image issues.

From the age of 15, I struggled with my weight and – like many other women – I boarded the yo-yo diet train, destination Nowheresville.

When at age 26 I became pregnant with my first son, things changed. I was no longer responsible only for myself but instead needed to focus on the life inside me. Thinking whatever I ate my child was eating too I started to focus on healthy eating to nourish my growing baby. And after the birth of my son I changed my way of thinking. Instead of just trying to lose weight I focused on staying healthy. I needed to incorporate exercise into my lifestyle. It needed to be something easy to do and something I could share with my son so I started a walking program. I coupled that with a balanced diet but I allowed myself to still eat the foods I enjoyed in
moderation.

Guess what? I no longer had trouble controlling my weight. I continued to exercise and maintain a healthy lifestyle so when I became pregnant with my second child I had more energy and an easier pregnancy. Within a few short months of my second son’s birth I was back to my pre-pregnancy weight. I continued with my fitness program and incorporated more changes so that by the time I learned I was pregnant with what would be my third son I was able to continue my healthy lifestyle right up to his birth. My body was in better physical shape than before I had any children and I became so passionate about health and fitness that I made a career change, became a certified personal trainer and began my business, Frameworks Fitness.

Next month I will begin blogging about making fitness and healthy eating a part of your life so you can be a positive role model in your childs life.

yours in health,
Marla
