  • I would also add that bodies just change shapes after pregnancy. Even when I got back to my prepregnancy weight I didn't fit in my old clothes because all the weight was distributed differently. May not be your case, but keep it in mind and give yourself some grace if you end up not the exact same shape you used to be.…

  • I love the Whole 30. It definitely changed the way I eat permanently since the first time I did it about 5 years ago. I now eat much more produce and less packaged/manufactured food. I also feel so much better physically after I've completed 30 days of it. I usually try to do a full 30 days strict about once a year just to…

  • Yesss...this is such a struggle. I've gotten to the point where my husband and I do every other day work outs. On Tuesday and Thursdays he picks up the kid from day care while I go work out. I usually get home just in time to help put our son to bed at 7:30. Meal prep on Sundays is also a huge help so I have healthy…
