An update from Isabel and Baby Marcos

Beyond Diet Newsletter
Beyond Diet
Wow, I can’t believe it’s been 5 weeks since my little angel, Marcos Logan, came into the world. Here I am at the tail end of my maternity leave and I wanted to give you an update on how I and the little guy are doing.

I will be back to work on Tuesday (September 6th) and am excited to write lots of new newsletters, film new videos and answer your questions on Beyond Diet. I also can’t wait to share with you all the NEW strategies I’ve come up with to continue to live a healthy lifestyle, while keeping up with the demands of a newborn, 2 year old, and household responsibilities. These strategies are not just for moms or parents. They’re for anyone who is super busy and struggling to find the time to fit in good nutrition and exercise. Stay tuned for that!

Now what about the birth?

If you follow the link below, you’ll see several pictures that were taken during Marcos’ all natural water birth…yes, no drugs! As much as I wanted to be able to film the event, it all happened so quickly. I barely made it into the water tub before he was ready to come out.

In a nutshell, I woke up on the morning of July 26th at 7:30 am in INTENSE labor. I was at the birthing center by 9am and Marcos was born a little after 10am. At one point in the car, I was afraid I was going to give birth to him right there!

I will leave you with this one tip for today that I learned through 2 natural water births…when you set your mind to something, and promise yourself that you are NOT going to give up, you will accomplish it. Marcos was 8 pounds making this a much more challenging birth than my first son, Christian who was 6 pounds, so it was extremely important that I use the power of mental focus to get me through the challenging hours of contractions and pushing.

What goal are you committing yourself to today? Share your goals with others in Beyond Diet and we will be there to encourage you along the way.
