Pre-pregnancy weight = DONE!

I know it's been a while (again) but I'm still trying to find that balance between work, family and trying to get enough sleep lol.  I've just run a 4 week Challenge with my clients which always has me super busy and pretty tired by the end of the 4 weeks (especially when my darling children are tag teaming the midnight, 2am, 3am and 4am wakeup calls).  So with that done and dusted until the next one starts in May it is time to focus on ME (and the blog) again.  I am super excited to say I have hit my pre-pregnancy weight from Brandon - YAY ME!!!  But I still have 2-3kg I would like to drop, but I'm pretty happy with where I am now.  I would love to get back to my pre-pregnancy Bella weight, but I realise that won't be easy as I was at my fittest and best shape EVER as I was teaching between 6-8 classes most weeks and had unlimited time to train.  BUT I'm going to give it my best damn shot and I know it will come down to eating clean and training smart.
There's 4 weeks until Easter so I've decided to set myself a few little goals and hopefully arrive at my fitness and health destination just in time for the Easter Bunny's arrival.  A few of my key focuses with regards to nutrition are:
* no alcohol (yes I do enjoy the glass of wine with dinner a few nights a week)
* limited processed food - this means I need to organise my weekends better and prepare some healthy snacks to get me through the week
* cut back (NOT cut out) the carbs
* drink more green tea (I have not been drinking much over the last few weeks)
* focus on clean eating at dinner time for the whole family - I'll be spending some time researching meals that the whole family can enjoy, including my 3 year old.

I currently teach 3 BodyPumps and 2 BodyCombats a week so my training is pretty good but I do have a couple of focuses to drive my results more and keep my energy levels up:
* 1 Crossfit session each week
* 1 gym floor resistance session each week
* 1 short endurance run each week

I also need to start going to bed earlier.  I fall into the trap of taking my iPhone or iPad to bed and checking facebook, emails and playing games and before I know it, it's 10:30 and I'm wide awake!  My goal most nights is bed at 9, no phones or TV etc and lights out at 9:30. 

So that's a run down of my goals over the next few weeks.  Stay tuned to the blog for more regular updates including clean recipes, training ideas and videos, and I'll also be posting occasional daily food diaries and my measurements and photos (eeeek) at the end.  Also be sure to check out my Be Hot Business facebook page for even more meal/snack ideas as I will be setting up some albums with recipes in the coming weeks https://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Be-HotBec-Hayes-Personal-Training/235721899227

MY GOAL SKIRT!!

One of my Pre-pregnancy goals was to fit into a Lululemon skort that I purchased whilst pregnant, and had never worn.  Excited to say it fits finally, but still want to drop a few more cm's around my J-Lo butt and thighs for a better fit.

Monday - Steamed fish (microwave) and Salad
