Make sure you get lots of fruits and veggies too! I find that I eat too much protein (which is odd, as I don't eat processed meats, red…

One of my greatest motivations is the fact that my little man LOVES to go hang out in the kids area! He wears himself out and I get a good workout . . . of course he's still a chatty and hyper guy, but it's not as bad!
