Fourteen years ago, on a rainy morning, I woke up from a night of very little sleep and waited, knowing my waiting was just about over. No longer would I feel rejected, undesirable, unworthy, because today one man was standing up in front of anyone who wanted to see and saying HE wanted me. This [...]

So, it's Tuesday morning, round 6:30, and as I drink my coffee, I feel  like I need to write about yesterday. Because Monday's generally suck.cthey do.cthere is never enough weekend, never enough rest, especially since we moved and have been trying to do allll the things we've dreamed of for so long living in an [...]

Today was my last time through workout 1 for this round, and I'm definitely stronger. The only thing I struggle with at this point is the push-ups and doing a plank immediately after them. That has not gotten much easier. Might be in part due to the fact that my push ups are on my [...]

So I'm about a month into this recovery, and it's been discouraging. I lost my drive for awhile, and I was sick, and I got bogged down trying to bounce back from that. Anyway, I'm bounced back, and the house is clean, and I have a new daily schedule mapped out, including keeping up with [...]

Well, here is where I'm starting from:Waist: 31.5Hips: 41.5Thigh: 22.5I have no idea what I weigh, because the scale is broken and it really doesn't matter, because it's not a great measure of progress for me anyway.

That's how many workouts I have left in this round of JMBR. I'm not sure how I feel about that. On one hand, I feel proud, because I've stuck with it, and other than injury, vacation, and surgery, I've kept progressing every 2 weeks as prescribed. I am, and should be, really proud of that. [...]

We are back from our wonderful vacation and I'm determined and motivated to make September a great month! There are a few part of this, and I'm gonna share and gather my thoughts here for myself and for you! 😜Breastfeeding: more sleep! Declan is still nursing exclusively (no bottles, woohoo!) and I'm slowly weaning myself off [...]

So, this morning I found myself kinda "in my feelings" about where my body is right now and how overwhelming the road ahead feels. I've broken it into totally doable goals...I think. I keep telling myself, "hey, so you're not where you want to be right now, but think of where you will be a [...]

My Sweet, Beautiful, Vibrant Girl, where do I begin? I cannot believe in only twelve and a half hours it'll have been three years since that life changing moment when I first saw your face and kissed your head and fell in love. You were my dream come true, and still are, more every day. [...]

So, I had an emergency wisdom tooth extraction two weeks ago, and recovery took about 10 days. I really started feeling like myself again over the weekend, and went full steam into trying to be productive from Saturday to yesterday (Tuesday). Then it all hit me like a ton of bricks and I couldn't get [...]
