Max Collins shares struggles in finding time to take care of herself as a new mom

Max Collins admitted it's not easy being a new mom, as she shared her struggles in finding time taking care of herself.

Sharing a video of herself doing pilates at home, Max said  "I’m not going to sugar coat it. Being a new mom is so hard! And it’s even harder to find time to take care of myself," she said.

But Max says she tries "to remind myself that if I don’t, I won’t be the best mom I can be for Skye."

Max said "physical health is just as important as mental health. Our minds and bodies are connected right?!"

According to Max, she's sharing her "postpartum journey is because it somehow holds me accountable."

I’m not going to sugar coat it. Being a new mom is so hard! And it’s even harder to find time to take care of myself. But I always try to remind myself that if I don’t, I won’t be the best mom I can be for Skye. Physical health is just as important as mental health. Our minds and bodies are connected right?! The reason why I’m sharing my postpartum journey is because it somehow holds me accountable. The reason why I take one-on-one online classes is because I’m lazy and won’t finish the workout if I don’t have someone pushing me to. That’s why I’m so lucky to have @citadelbernardo as a trainer, because she understands how hard it is to be a mom. I cancel on her all the time because I have to take care of Skye, and even during our class we would have to take breaks so that I could check on him. She always finds a way to fit me in her schedule and never gives me an attitude when I make her wait. I just want to share my appreciation for her because of how understanding she’s been through my prenatal and postpartum journey so far. I love Pilates and I feel so good after each workout, so I’m glad I can somehow find time to fit a class in once in awhile. It’s the little things that make me happy and working out it one of them. @optionsstudiobgc
