***Fitness post! *** I came back from vacation ten days ago frustrated literally to tears with where I found myself on this journey toward my health and fitness goals. I'd worked out consistently at full effort for six weeks, and eaten real whole foods at least 70% of the time. It would be entirely reasonable [...]

Fitness Post: I knew this was coming.
Today I finished the Bangin Bikini Body program in the Jillian Michaels app-and I'm super proud of that! I'm also halfway through the Beautiful Arms and Back and Sexy Abs programs. I'm super proud of finishing this program, because it's proof of my commitment to self care and doing what I have to, even if [...]

No, we have not achieved #ropesngunsnabs, yet-but many changes, nonetheless. I'm getting my mojo back! No, not in that way-well, yes in that way, but that's not [...]
Self Care and Normalcy
Those have been my key words and cravings since Declan has been born, and I think I'm finally almost to where I want to be with both, but boy has it been a battle! Normalcy seemed impossible. Declan's birth took far more of a physical toll on me than Lexi's did, and that started me out a [...]
