in Motivation and Support
We have been blessed with a new son! We have a beautiful, healthy three week old baby boy. Through the love and magic of adoption, our family has grown. So has my tummy! Lack of sleep, trying to prepare a nursery/house for an unexpected new one, lots of well meaning visitors, not as much time/motivation to cook and not exercising consistently (if at all) have left me with added weight. I started logging again today after almost four weeks. Need some motivation and support to get back in the game 100%! Thanks!

    congrats on the adoption

    We adopted a sibling group of 3. Was a lot of my motivation to get healthier.
    Good Luck

    congratulations on the newest addition.

    Take it slow to get back on track. Going too fast will only lead to disappointment and discouragement. Enjoy the new addition :)
