Clothes shopping excitement 

Hannah Lucio

I wanted to do a happy dance at Target yesterday, but I don’t like walking on store floors without shoes on LOL I have literally achieved a lifelong goal of losing weight and being in a size I’m comfortable at.  I am officially in a size 4 in jeans and a s-xs size shirt. Blows my mind!


 Even though I think some brands run bigger, I have never been this size before. When I got pregnant I was told by many women that I’d never lose weight again. I felt defeated. So I made it my ultimate goal to show everyone I could. Two kids and almost 5 years of marriage….goals met! Cheers to hard work and being a fitmom.

If you are pregnant and have been told this, don’t listen to those women. Maybe they are a bit bitter that they never lost the weight. I’m not entirely sure but don’t listen to them. When I got married I was a size 10 in jeans and a med-large shirt size. And I am now a size 4 and sm-xs. It can be done. In my lifetime, when I was single I even went up to a size 16. Yuck! I was incredibly unhealthy and I will never be that size again. I know people say it’s not the number that matters, but I know what I felt like to be that heavy and it was not fun. It uncomfortable. 

I literally am not on any special weight loss program, don’t belong to a gym, just doing what I can and working out at their nap time. I fit in workouts when I can and snack all day. If you stick your mind to it you can achieve your goals. Even if you “don’t have time” there is literally time in everyone day to do something. Just think about everything you do in a day, I bet there time. Just make time 😉 At first it seems “hard” but it gets easier, I promise. Wake up 1 hour earlier…..everything is achievable when you stick your mind to it. 

Time to go fit in my workout for the day 🤸🏼‍♀️

One foot in front of the other

Hannah Lucio

Yesterday I opened up Facebook and saw a post about an Estate sale. On that post it had a Proform treadmill for $60. I have been dreaming of getting a treadmill again. I know….weird. Treadmills are my thing! I love cardio, I know….weird! I really do though. It helps me lose weight and it honestly makes me happy. On my way home from riding my bike for cardio fun, I stopped by this estate sale. It had just opened and I asked the lady if it really was $60. Long story short, they wanted $65. I checked it out and it looked, sounded and an great! I put a hold on it and came back with my hubby and a vehicle to take it home. I cleaned it super good and just had a chance today to run on it. 


Wow wow wee! I love it. This treadmill first cost $800 brand new and I get it for $60. It only had 443 miles on it and that’s nothing for a treadmill. In my opinion. Like I said in my last blog post, do what you love when it comes to exercise. Some people hate cardio, some people hate weights, some people just hate working out LOL Do something you love! I love cardio and taebo. Absolutely love. When I do those two workouts I feel my best! 

Get up and go! Start somewhere! And find something you will love to do. One foot in front of the other my friend! 

Happy Sunday everyone!

Coffee Creamer and Awesome Fat Burning Workout

Hannah Lucio

I am a firm believer that black coffee is best. I typically (like 99% of the time) do not add anything to my coffee. But, the other day I was at the store and saw Almond Milk creamer. I love almond milk and very rarely get cow milk. So I decided to give it a try. Holy cow y’all! It taste so darn good. It is non-gmo, non-dairy, lower calorie deliciousness. I bought the Carmel flavor. If you need to add stuff to your coffee this would be a very good choice. This is the bottle and back of the bottle information. 

As for my amazing workout this morning…..I need to get my body firmer, if you know what I mean. So I decided to try pushing myself a bit. I try to run on the treadmill at the gym for 20 minutes and the least. With my body type I have found that cardio is what “slims” me down. I’ve tried doing a lot of weight lifting and my goodness. I do not like it. Lower the weight and up the reps is best for me. If I mix the two together my body starts to shape out nicely.  That is why I do a lot more cardio. On to what I did. I started out with 1 minute of walking at a 1 incline, then I ran 1 minute. After the run I slow it down to a walk, increase my incline by 1 and walk for a minute. After that minute of walking, I run 1 minute. And I repeat these steps (literally, ha!) until I get to a 10 incline. Once I complete my 10 incline I lower it back down to 1 incline and run for a minute. Then cool down for a few minute. I felt like I was going to throw up. It was that amazing! Ha! It is truly an amazing “fat burning” workout. 
Have a wonderful Tuesday!!!

My favorite workout

Hannah Lucio

I am currently almost 17 weeks pregnant. I needed to step it up a bit since the first 3 months I took it easy. I believe that in the last week of doing this workout I have been able to manage my weight gain and burn fat at the same time.

Before you do any workouts (especially pregnant workouts) I highly suggest you check with your Dr. Especially if you did not workout before getting pregnant. I worked out a lot and was really active so I have not had any issues. Also, if you feel any pain or discomfort stop immediately! I am not a personal trainer but just sharing what I currently do.  So do this at your own discretion.

On to the workout. This is a superset workout and is fun for me.

What you need:

Treadmill or elliptical

Your own body weight.

How to do it:

Jogging(my favorite right now) or walk fast on the treadmill for 2 minutes.

Pause the treadmill

I get off the machine and do 12 lunges on each side.

I do 3 sets of 12(each leg)

Get back on the treadmill or elliptical and do 2 more minutes. Keep repeating until you finish your sets.

After 3 sets of lunges I switch to plie squats

After doing three sets of squats I finish it off with 5-10 minutes of jogging or walking fast on an incline of 1.

At the end of this workout you will have completed your lunges, plie squats and over 1 mile of cardio. This may not seem like much for a non-pregnant person, but it is a great pregnancy workout. Hope you try it an enjoy! I am not sure how long I can keep this up. But, since I am in the “glory” pregnancy months this is exciting for me. This is just one of my workouts at the moment but wanted to share this specific one. Ill share more later!
