Get It Girl Wednesday: Running & Training For Long Runs + Fitness Mama CRAZY SEXY COOL Workout Mix
Happy hump day mamas!
I know many of you mamas are training for Fall half/full marathons and/or triathlons or duathlons. Is there anyone out there doing all of the above?! If so, PLEASE contact us; I think this would automatically make you a Fit Mama of the Week. :) We'd love to chat with you so message us!
Fall is definitely a time when a lot of races happen everywhere. I see our social media #fitfam putting all these miles in and training so consistently! We are so proud of you guys! You inspire US so please keep on tagging us on IG or FB on your training pictures and we'd love to give you a shout out to cheer you on. So let us know especially if it will be your first race; we know how challenging that could be!
So whether you're training for SF Nike Women's Marathon, San Jose Rock n Roll Half Marathon, Mermaid Series Sirena 10 mile (Team GIG will be at this race!), or another long distance race...right about NOW you are probably hitting the part of your training that is going into the LONG RUNS once a week.
Long runs can be a grueling part of training but you cannot skip these days. Skip a 2 mi run but NOT your long run. An important part of avoiding injury are these long runs because the idea is to slowly increase mileage every week. When you skip a long run, you do not want to shock your body by running so many miles that you are not used to in order to 'catch up' to the schedule. When you add on mileage too quickly, you risk getting injured...then you might find yourself even further behind in your training schedule as you sit on the couch trying to heal your injury. Also, to avoid injury, what worked for me is not to worry about my time or pace during my long runs. My goal for long runs is to just complete it at a comfortable pace (this was especially true when I was training for my first and second half marathons). If you are worried about your timing/pace...just let that go for the long runs and don't think about it; go at a slower pace and definitely TRUST IN THE TRAINING and believe in yourself! For me, this was the hardest thing but come race day, I found I did a lot of worrying for nothing and hit my goals most of the time. Lessons I learned the hard way (and hopefully you can take to heart to avoid injury!!):
1. Do not skip a long run.
2. Do not increase mileage too quickly.
3. Do not try to go at your fastest pace during long runs.
4. Rest days after a long run are almost as important as the long run!
I typically give myself a 'no running day' after long runs. I might just rest and don't workout or do some cross training, working out muscle groups different from the muscles used heavily in running. For cross train days I might swim, take a walk with the dogs, or just do an arm day with free weights at home.
Just for you mamas who have a few more weeks of long runs before your races, we are releasing our SECOND free workout mix (download our first one by clicking here). It is an extra long mix to last throughout the long run (almost two hours of non-stop music!). Christelyn and I want to dedicate this mix to you mamas who want to do nothing but rest on the couch because of a long day of work and caring for the kids BUT instead you lace your running shoes up and head out the door. It's dedicated to those who want a slice of that yummy cheesy pizza but pass it up because you know it will upset your stomach and won't do anything to fuel you properly for tomorrow's early morning run. It is also dedicated to those with a sink full of dishes and baskets full of laundry yet you KNOW the best thing for YOU is to do this 30 minute run and not make the housework an excuse of why you have to skip. We are right there with you mamas! :)

This mix is an early 90's RnB/rap mix. Shanice. Color Me Badd. Bobby Brown. Naughty by Nature. Mostly songs released in 1992!
And TLC!! :) Christelyn and I were OBSESSED with TLC back in day (Like hella obsessed. No joke. I will spare you the embarrassing details the two of us rarely share with strangers who will probably judge and label us completely nutso.). And this is why we named this mix the Crazy, Sexy, Cool workout mix, after TLC's second album.
Let us know how you guys like the mix or how you will use it! Comment here, FB or IG! Who was your favorite group/singer from the 90's? What are you training for? Will you be joining us for the Sirena 10 miler?

Fit Mama of the Week: Leigh
Our gorgeous new Fit Mama of the Week is Leigh! When we heard how involved Leigh is with her children's day to day activities we were so impressed with how she has successfully balanced everything that that entails along with keeping fit! I was ready to give her the title of Supermom of the Year! My kids are also super busy as well and I have always found it so challenging to find energy to stay focused on my training. Leigh is a big inspiration to me and I think she will be for you mamas too. To stay motivated, Leigh turns to positive people who will support her and cheer her on. We wanted to highlight this because making changes and being on this fitness journey isn't always easy. Look for friends on a similar journey or look to our #fitfam community on FB and/or IG!
Name/Age/Occupation?
Leigh and I'm 36 years old. I am a stay at home mom.
Do you have kids? How old are they?
I have two very busy boys ages 8 & 5.
Have you always been into fitness? If not, why did you start?
I have
always been into sports, especially tennis. I had loved weightlifting in the past, but wasn't too motivated to go to
the gym after kids. In January of this year, my whole family joined Cal Fit (Sacramento area gym),
and I decided to put everything into it. Honestly I was highly motivated by Christelyn & Billy and their transformations as a
couple. I started changing my eating
habits (and my family’s eating habits) and got my butt to the gym every day!
How do you continually keep yourself motivated to workout?
I stay
motivated by a few things:
1) taking lots of progress pics
2) following fitness accounts on instagram and facebook
3) having friends that work out with me.
I take a lot of progress pics because it reminds me of how far I've come and and to remind myself to not give up despite any plateaus I think I may be at. Also, once you get to a point of losing the initial weight, you get to a point of gaining more muscle and essentially tightening up. This part is hard because you can't rely on your scale....the changes are smaller than before. So I use progress pics to see those small changes. It helps me to stay on track and to not get disappointed by the number on the scale.

It helps me to stay on track and to not get disappointed by the number on the scale.
Having friends to work out with also helps me stay motivated. With my friends, we take classes at the gym together (Group Strength Training & Xbike are our favorites). We also text each other to make sure we stay on track (and text each other when we strayed from being on track!).
How do you balance taking care of you home and family AND staying fit?
Since I am
a stay at home mom, I am aware that my children and I need a break from each
other at least once a day. It’s good for
me, and it’s good for them. They love
the kids club at the gym we go to, so it makes it really easy to go to the gym
with my kids. My best advice for keeping
a good balance is to remember to make your gym time like an important meeting. Bosses do NOT miss important meetings!
Sometimes I even schedule it into my iPhone….seriously! As a stay at home mom, I am able to constantly be in the classroom to help, as well as be there for fieldtrips, etc.; this keeps me super busy. My kids also have a crazy schedule that perhaps a lot of other moms can relate to. I have two boys 8 & 5, and they are involved with sports year round. Baseball, basketball, football, soccer, swimming. Right now we have basketball (for my 8 yr old) and soccer (for my 5 yr old), and yes, I shuttle them around everywhere! But again as I've mentioned before, I schedule my gym time like an important meeting that I cannot miss.
Share with us what you would eat on a typical day.
I am still
working on making better food choices.
The change in the kitchen just started in January of this year. BUT, I generally like to start the day with
oatmeal or an egg sandwich. I snack on nuts, fruits, or Greek yogurt during the
day. At night I try not to eat after
8pm. I try to have the majority of carbs
at breakfast or lunch, and try to keep my dinner filled with proteins and
vegetables.
Favorite
snack is Fage Vanilla Greek yogurt….yummmm! The kid’s favorite snack is
probably apples and peanut butter or cheese sticks.
What are your fitness goals for this year?
My fitness
goals have changed over the past months.
Originally it was a certain weight that I wanted to get to. Now that I have been lifting weights more and
more, I realize that the number on the scale isn't always the best goal. My body is changing for the better, but my
weight is staying the same in the past few months. It’s a hard thing to do, but I am trying to
not look at my goals in numbers, but rather by how my clothes fit and how my body
feels.
What or who is your biggest inspiration?
My biggest
inspirations are the fit mamas out there.
It’s hard to find the motivation everyday to workout. Especially when your body has morphed into
something that you don’t recognize after having kids/breastfeeding/not having the time to workout. It
takes one step in front of the other every day and eventually you will be off and running, and that weight will come off.
And I know, it’s harder for some mamas compared to others. I watched moms give birth and bounce right
back to their old shape….that wasn't me.
It took hard work EVERY DAY.
Making the choice for a chicken breast over a yummy pizza slice. Going
to workout when all you want to do is close your eyes and take a breather
because the kids have worn you DOWN. But if you get that workout in, and you
push yourself a little harder each time, the results will come….and you will
get some of your sanity back…lol! I call the gym “my therapy” for the day!

Thank you Leigh for sharing your fitness journey story with us and for sharing such inspiring words! Congratulations on all of your amazing accomplishments not just on the weight loss but sticking with the game plan day in and day out! We as moms all know this is not easy. It takes a lot of hustle and it definitely is a daily grind. But ALL of our Fit Mamas of the Week have proven that getting fit/staying healthy and balancing home life and the kids can be done in multiple ways. #BeInspired

Get It Girl Wednesday: Just Do You
Somewhere along your fitness journey you may come across people who wonder why you are doing what you are doing.
I know you know what I'm talking about. You may have heard them say any one of the following (this list was compiled by our #fitfam community):
That's ALL you're eating? A salad? (yes. with veggies, fruit, an avocado and protein! it's yummy!)
You are skinny enough already!
You are running FIVE miles today?! And you're training for a 13.1 mile race?! That's way too crazy for me. Why would anyone want to do that? (umm...I do. Thanks for your support!)
Are you sure you want to be lifting all those weights? I don't lift weights because I don't want to look manly. (Fact: it is nearly impossible for women to build anywhere close to the amount of muscle mass men build due to our low testosterone levels.)
Oh I tried that diet. That's NOT going to work.
You're going running AGAIN? Aren't you afraid you're going to get arthritis or something?
I'd rather just eat whatever I want (and be overweight) and happy vs. always depriving myself of food. (And meanwhile, you, yourself didn't feel like you were being deprived!)
I would rather have a life than spend all my time in the gym. (hmm...30 mins. a day is not my whole life)
You're done right? You really don't need to lose anymore weight. You really need to stop.
Do you even eat anymore?
I wish I had time to workout like you. (This absolutely KILLS me because NO, I absolutely do not have time. But I MAKE time.)
How did you REALLY lose all that weight? (People want to hear you say you used some kind of proverbial magic pill. They do not want to hear about your healthy eating and hard work at the gym.)
You looked better when you were at *insert random weight here* lbs. Or: I thought you looked prettier before. (Ouch. This one hurts.)
I could go on and on. Most of the time, people really do mean well and they just think they are saying the right thing. This does not make them a horrible person. We just have to let these comments roll off our shoulders and move on. Just Do You. Who cares what they think. They probably do not even know how unsupportive they are being but you have to look past that and just keep it moving. Turn towards people who are going through a similar journey as you. Stay positive.
Most of the time, these people who are questioning your fitness journey will be the same ones who will be absolutely shocked when you lose x amount of weight or finish your first half marathon or complete a Tough Mudder course. They will ask you HOW you did it even though they have witnessed you going to the gym or choosing healthy foods day in and day out. You just have to laugh at that question at that point. :)
But the comment of 'I thought you looked prettier before' is one that really stabs you in the heart. This is going too far and I want you mamas to realize that this is plain rude and uncalled for. No one deserves to be talked to this way and if anyone says this to you, it may be time to re-evaluate relationships. Don't let anyone hold you back or bring you down with comments like this. You don't have time for negativity. Let it go. Just Do You.

Fit Mama of the Week: Monique
Monique is a busy mom of THREE boys. She also works a full time job outside of the home. Yet, she managed to get healthy by eating right and exercising. If Monique can find a good balance with her busy schedule, there really isn't a good reason why anyone can't. This is why we chose Monique as our Fit Mom of the Week as we definitely feel she can be an inspiration to us all. She sets an example as she sets fitness goals (hiking half dome, completing obstacle runs, etc.) to stay fit. We've always encouraged you mamas to set definite goals you can grasp. Yes your overall goal can be to 'Get fit' or 'Get healthy' but how are you going to get there? Set smaller goals...sign up for a 5k...complete an 8 mile hike...etc. Because having that feeling of accomplishment is priceless! Seeing results can take a long while. You have to be patient. This is why we suggest setting small goals along the way to track progress! Monique is a great example of this.
Name and Age?
Monique and I'm 32 years old.
Do you have kids? How old are they?
I have 3 boys, ages 15, 8 and 6 yrs old.
Do you work outside of the home? If so, what do you do?
I'm a Medical Assistant. I work full time 8-5pm.
Have you always been into fitness? If not, why did you start? I haven't always been into fitness. After I delivered my second son and lost some of my baby weight, I slowly started thinking about fitness and nutrition. One day my husband told me he wanted to climb Half Dome in Yosemite. So I slowly started 2007 off at a small mom and pop gym doing just cardio (cardio was my best friend for a long time). I trained with my husband for about eight weeks and I ended up hiking Half Dome that same year. I trained for this by using the stairmaster and elliptical 3-4 times a week.
I then joined an In Shape health club in 2008 and got a personal trainer. He helped expand my horizons with fitness. Of course it wasn't easy staying on my fitness journey. I would fall off and start up again. But in 2009 I started working out at lunch EVERYDAY. In 2011. I joined Core Performance which is an athletic training/boot camp style workout. This also helped me get over plateaus in my fitness journey.
I've since done a few runs (survivor mud run, neon night run & an obstacle course run (Recon Run) that I thought I would never accomplish but had always wanted to. When I started doing these runs, I started to really get more confident with my body/my inner self. It's funny how the small things help boost your confidence. More recently I've been focusing on building muscle definition and one day, I hope to compete in a women's body building completion. Lately, my favorite way to exercise is by lifting weights at the gym and completing whole body circuits.
How do you stay motivated ?
Staying motivated is still a struggle but because I enrolled into Core Performance 3 days a week I feel obligated to go to class which helps me stay motivated. I also joined a gym next door to my job to work out at lunch which makes it easy for me stay active and helps me stay away from eating out during the lunch hour all the time.
How do you balance work, family, and staying fit?
I usually work out in the mornings before work or during lunch. My family is very supportive so it makes it much easier to balance fitness and family. I have to say that I'm really blessed with the greatest support system from my husband/mother in law and my 3 handsome boys. My husband/mother in law take care of the boys/make dinner while I go work out. The boys help out by cleaning up their own messes, and doing any extra chores if needed. They are my fan base and cheer me on every step of the way.
Share what you would eat on a typical day. Breakfast: typically, a green smoothie with kale/spinach/protein powder/cucumber /celery /green apple. Lunch: Quinoa/grilled chicken breast with some veggies Dinner: Salmon/veggies
What are some of your favorite healthy snacks for yourself and your kids? I have such a sweet tooth and so my favorite healthy snack is plain Greek yogurt/1 scoop of vanilla whey protein/chia seeds and blueberries/or banana oatmeal with dark chocolate chip cookies. My kids favorite snacks are oranges, watermelon & celery with peanut butter.
What are your fitness goals for this year? To accomplish the Spartan Race, as well as to build more muscle.
Who or what is your biggest inspiration? My family is my biggest inspiration because I want to be a good example for them. Reading food labels before choosing certain snacks/drinks is something I just started doing in recent years. The boys hate it when I do it but I catch my older one doing it now and I'm so proud. The little things are always the biggest things to be proud of.
My charge nurse is also one of my closest inspiration she's a full time nurse in her 40's teaches kickboxing/does ju-jitsu and is training to get her 2nd degree black belt and loves fitness as well. She inspires me because it shows that even in your 40's you could accomplish anything you set your mind to.

Congratulations Monique on all of your accomplishments. We are so proud to have you as our Fit Mama of the Week. One thing that stood out to us is how Monique's oldest son has started reading food labels! Kids really learn by example. I want to point this out because I truly believe that we need to teach our kids tools on how to be healthy and fit by example. We can't just tell them what to do. And we should try to do this while they are young so that they are better prepared when they have to make healthy decisions on their own as they get older. We can't be with our kids 24/7 or for forever and so just like every lesson in life, you want to at least try to prepare your child for what may come up. Fit Mamas=Fit Kids!
