Sometimes we need to push ourselves in the direction we need to go. - Lately my motivation has been meh😏 in regards to getting my A$$ to the gym and establishing a routine. I’m not gonna lie. - - I know we all fall into slumps and get side tracked and what better “excuse” than becoming a new mom and having my whole world turned sideways?!🤷🏻‍♀️🙈 (by the cutest little person too!) - While I am not Debbie-downing myself or trying to throw a pity party, I am tryna start holding myself more accountable.👊🏼 - Goals aren’t gonna reach themselves. - I am not worried about the numbers on the scale. I’m more focused on getting back at what I love and what makes me feel good. The gym has always helped me with my anxiety and I feel like everything else falls into place when I set that little bit of time aside for me. - So here’s to learning how to do that mom thing and that me thing and all that falls in-between!😃 - - Wearing @1stphorm 💙 #rachelnicolefit #rachelnicolefitness #fitspo #fitmom #fitnessmotivation #postpartum #postpartumtransformation #postpartumjourney #mombod #legionofboom #momsof1stphorm #momlife #balance #motivation #1stphormathlete #fitnessmodel #neversettle @1stphorm

Being a mother is learning about the strengths you didn’t know you had.👊🏼 - - It forces you to dig deeper than ever. . . And allows you to appreciate life from a whole new perspective.😌 - - 🙋🏻‍♀️Where my strong, amazing mommies at!?!? - - #momfluence #boymom #raisingmen #strongmom #momjourney #postpartum #postpartumbody #postpartumfitness #postpartumworkout #mombod #momsofinstagram #momsof1stphorm #oliverhbrown #1stphormathlete #iam1stphorm @1stphorm

Super Bowl ready!😎 - - Oliver knows he’s covered if has has 1 too many 🍼’s during tonight’s game. He’s not gonna wake up cranky regardless of who wins bc he won’t be hungover thanks to Remedy!😉 - - 🏈Who are you rooting for tonight!? 🏈 - - #superbowl #superbowl52 #keepppunding #footballfan #remedy #hangoversupport #superbowlbaby #oliverhbrown #babyboy #boymom #1stphorm #babiesofinstagram #babiesof1stphorm @1stphorm

Parents gone wild! We bad... we know it.😎 - - I’m pretty sure we will have to dig a few of these back up when the discussion of “where babies come from” happens at the Brown’s house. Either way, we’re totally going to embarrass the sh!t out of our kids in the future!😂 - - #birdaandthebees #sweetdancemoves #nightattheroxbury #basicwhitegirlmoves #howbabiesaremade #goodlife #1stphorm #iam1stphorm #1stphormathlete #elitespouse #noshame #hesmybitch @1stphorm

My greatest adventure each day. . . - - I’ve done some pretty cool things in my life, but nothing truly compares to growing a tiny human and now raising him into a bigger human!😆 - - There is never a dull moment (tho sometimes you hope for one😂 or maybe 30 minutes during nap time). - - Wearing @1stphorm Racer back - #rachelnicolefit #rachelnicolefitness #fitspo #fitmom #fitnessmotivation #postpartum #postpartumtransformation #postpartumjourney #mombod #legionofboom #momsof1stphorm #momfluence #momlife #1stphormathlete #fitnessmodel #neversettle #boymom #oliverhbrown @1stphorm

One year ago we found out our lives were going to change and our family was going to grow... - Then we could only imagine who this tiny little person would be. - Now we continue to fall in love with our little Oliver more each day as we watch him grow into his own little person. We cannot imagine our lives without him. - He is so special and so loved and we are blessed to be his parents. 💙 - - Photo by @erinwilwertphotography - #rachelnicolefit #rachelnicolefitness #fitspo #fitmom #fitnessmotivation #postpartum #postpartumtransformation #postpartumjourney #mombod #legionofboom #momsof1stphorm #babyboy #blessed #1stphormathlete #fitnessmodel #neversettle @1stphorm

#tbt to feeling little feet kick around my belly. - - Now those same little feet are getting nibbled on everyday! 😁 - I feel like time has flown so fast that pregnancy feels like a distant memory already (in just 16 weeks😅). There were so many things I loved about being pregnant and some things that weren’t so great😂 like sciatica and feeling like walking up the stairs was like climbing Mt. Everest! - It’s really such a short journey in the grand scheme of things and it brought me one of life’s greatest gifts. I wouldn’t change a single thing about my journey . . . 😌 - - 🤰🏻What was your favorite thing about pregnancy? - - Photo by @erinwilwertphotography Gown by @sewtrendyaccessories #rachelnicolefit #rachelnicolefitness #fitspo #fitmom #fitbump #fitpregnancy #fitnessmotivation #babybump #babybrown #babybulking #babiesof1stphorm #legionofbabyboomers #expectingsomethingsweet #thebump #bumpdate #maternityshoot @1stphorm

Humpday throw back to that one time I made @discobrown my b!tch!! JK, there were several times!😜 - - This was taken right before my last National show in May of 2016, after that I hung up my suit bc we were trying to get knocked up and make baby gains!😉 - He has more details on his conspiracy theories of conception on his post if you dare to read them, or attempt them!🙈 - - Wearing @1stphorm Mesh racerback bra! - #rachelnicolefit #rachelnicolefitness #fitspo #fitmom #fitnessmotivation #postpartum #postpartumtransformation #postpartumjourney #mombod #legionofboom #momsof1stphorm #1stphormathlete #fitnessmodel #neversettle #humpday @1stphorm

Walking around like Limp Biscuit today after this at home sweat sesh!🚶🏻‍♀️The legs and booty are sore and this workout took a bit more coordination than usual. I am not a naturally graceful person so needless to say it was a bit more challenging for me!😂 - I realized after my last trip to St Louis and working out with some of the athletes I need to also work on my mobility training (bc it’s shit) and will be trying to incorporate more of that into my workouts too.😉 - - Workout Shown: 🔹Laying RB hip abductors 3 X 12 (each leg) *used @mbslingshot hip circle 🔹Alternating side lunges w/ hip abduction X 20 🔹RB Curls into lateral raise 3x12 🔹Jumping mountain climber variation X 30 - **Run through circuit and repeat X 2 - - •Wearing my @built_apparel Top (code RNF10 saves you 10%) - #rachelnicolefit #rachelnicolefitness #fitspo #fitmom #fitnessmotivation #postpartum #postpartumtransformation #postpartumjourney #mombod #legionofboom #momsof1stphorm #1stphormathlete #fitnessmodel #neversettle #rnfworkoutvideo #rnfworkout #builtapparel @1stphorm @fit_moms_of_ig @ig.motherhood @fit.moms.of.ig

The day I found out I was going to be a mom (almost 1 year ago today)➡️16 Weeks #postpartum - - SO much has changed in just one year! It may not look like it in these two pics, but I’m still carrying 9lbs of baby weight (excluding Ollie!😉) and there is a huge diff in my body composition. - Is this frustrating? In many ways it is, however I know that my body had been through a lot physically and hormonally in the past year. I didn’t just “bounce back” to my pre-baby size overnight and I still have A LOT of work to do to get where I want to be. - The truth is, I haven’t even begun to put in the real work yet. I have not been as structured or regimented as I know I could be nor have I been 💯% in any realm. I have allowed myself time to enjoy my new little family and not beat myself up about the gym (not all the time🙈)or the days I choose to “relax” in my diet or have that treat! I have mostly been eating intuitively and honestly getting in meals when I can due to a crazy busy schedule that now revolves around baby. - - I know what needs to be done to take myself to the next level and until I truly put in max effort I don’t expect to see max results. Just being real with myself and with you guys!👊🏼 - - It may seem like I have all my shit together and everything is perfect and back to “normal” as far as my body to many of you. But really, I’m just trying to navigate new mom life like the rest of ya!😉 I’ve just learned to be a little nicer to myself along the way. - - #rachelnicolefit #rachelnicolefitness #fitspo #fitmom #fitnessmotivation #postpartum #postpartumtransformation #postpartumjourney #mombod #legionofboom #momsof1stphorm #1stphormathlete #fitnessmodel #neversettle #momfluence #transformationtuesday @1stphorm

If you’re a new mom or a busy parent like me, then you’re def about products that make life easier! Especially when it comes to taking a little “time out” for yourself bc lets be real, once you have kids, it’s just not about you anymore!😂 - - This is one reason why @1stphorm Opti-Greens and Micro Factor have remained a staple in my daily routine. - Knowing that I am getting in the essentials with these two products each day helps me stay in track and feel my best. I’m not worried about 100 pill bottles taking over my cabinet or trying to remember them all bc the Micro Factor has everything I need from a multivitamin, probiotic, Omega 3’s to a serving of fruits and more. I can take it on the go when traveling or dropping my boy off at daycare too bc it’s conveniently packaged.😎 - Opti-Greens🌱 50 packs a punch in one serving to ensure my body is getting nutrients from over 50 Superfoods I’m sure my “mom diet” is lacking even on my best day of eating! - This leaves me with ZERO excuses when it comes to covering the basics and it takes less than 5 minutes each morning to make sure I’m taking care of myself so that I can continue to take care of my son.😌 - - *These were also products I loved while pregnant and nursing!😉 - - Be sure to use the link in my bio for free shipping 📦and email or DM with any questions!💙 - - Top by @built_apparel - #rachelnicolefit #rachelnicolefitness #fitspo #fitmom #fitnessmotivation #postpartum #postpartumtransformation #postpartumjourney #mombod #legionofboom #momsof1stphorm #1stphormathlete #fitnessmodel #neversettle @1stphorm #builtapparel #nutritioncoach
