Met @letsbefitfriends 9 years ago today at Oktoberfest in SF. Ran over to the Ft Mason at lunch today. That spike on the elevation profile is me taking the stairs up and over Telegraph Hill by Coit Tower as a shortcut.

I’m not going to call it “love at first sight” but there was no denying we had some sort of magnetic connection.

We got married 5 years ago this week. Love you boo! 😍😘

Not love at first sight? Still trying to play it cool all these years later. Don't be fooled...he was immediately obsessed with me 😉

It's that time again! HCG time! I've already lost 17lbs from my mini rounds (I was 182 at my heaviest) but this time I'm going 6 weeks straight. Last years stats for reference.

3 months til we go to Hawaii and my "goal weight" end date! Started loading for a long hcg round today.

[letsbefitfriends]

Traveled to upstate New York and took a loss hit but back to the -20lb mark 👏🏼

[letsbefitfriends]

When you lose 20lbs but only go from a size 14 to a size 12 😫

[letsbefitfriends]

Friend: you look good!

Me: thanks! I still feel chubby but I've lost about 18lbs since June.

Friend: ...it's July?

Me: ...

Friend: ...

Good point

I'm back at it! Baby Lula is now 5 months old and I'm dropping those baby lbs! I had thyroid issues and postpartum weight gain again (passed birth weight at 3 months PP) but thanks to keeping an eye on things with my doctor, I'm on a low dose of thyroid meds. Unbeknownst to my doctor I am doing short rounds of the hcg diet which is why I'm dropping weight. I'm currently breastfeeding so I don't do calorie restrictions, add a little fat in and drink tons of water. It's working really well! I'm losing, baby is gaining and milk supply is holding strong! Almost 18lbs down from the beginning of June!

I'm BACK!

We are now a family of 4 plus 🐶&🐈 ❤️

Merry Christmas! ❤️🎄

Oh man it's been awhile. I've just rounded my first trimester and finally feeling better with baby #2 (another girl!). With B I didn't get any morning sickness but this time not so lucky. I spent several weeks not participating in family hikes etc but I'm starting to rejoin the world rather than laying in bed in the fetal position!

[letsbefitfriends]

So this happened today! Like literally today. With B we waited 15 weeks to announce but this time just going for it. If I have a miscarriage I'll let you all know and it will be ok. 😱😮

Hi all! This is 100% personal and not workout related but close to my family. If you can donate a couple dollars, every little bit helps but if not, please share! Travis Jeffrey is my sister Kayla's husband's brother (got that?). His wife suffers from mental illness and is abusive so Travis made the tough call to separate from her and take their 2 year old daughter in order to keep her safe. Unfortunately because he took his daughter and didn't have legal representation, his wife was awarded temporary custody until June 21st. My sister Ashley is running the campaign. Even though she has 3 daughters of her own, she nannied for Lilly so Travis would not have to pay child care. My family is very close knit and we are all dedicated to helping each other as much as we can. We all love Lilly very much and are desperate for her to be safe. They are trying to raise $2,500 for the lawyers retainer fee so he has in court representation and can get his daughter back. Please please please share!!!

November 2012/ May 2016 Same jeans. At least I can button them now? Working hard to get that stomach back but I captioned the first photo "2 meals a day, 8 workouts a week" so something tells me it's not gonna happen. 😑

This round of hcg has been really weird. My weight has been jumping all over the place although it seems to be trending down and my measurements have been going down. It's been very slow progress but I suppose that's because I don't have much more to lose. I also suspect that working out 6 days a week (even though it's not that intense) and walking a ton might be causing the weight fluctuation. Maybe something about water retention? In some super exciting news, the cutoff shorts in the above photo are pre-pregnancy shorts!! And a size 4! I've got 1.5 weeks of the Cize program left and 2 more weeks of hcg round 3 so we'll see how far I can get.

[letsbefitfriends]

One week of Cize down and I'm having an awesome time!! I've missed one abs session because I was super sore but plan on making it up later. My dance moves are coming along nicely too. I highly recommend this program for people that don't love working out. It's so much fun I don't even realize how sweaty I am!!

We had an amazing Mothers Day weekend at the Santa Lucia Preserve in Carmel Valley. Saturday was a Kentucky Derby party at the golf club and Sunday was a gorgeous brunch on the patio. My diet was a bit on hold, I tried to eat light and pick healthier options but when someone offers you filet mignon, lobster sausage and champagne, you damn well accept. 🍾 I'm so lucky to be a mom and it's a rough gig sometimes but I truly love it.
