I hope I find someone that loves me the same way Stephen Colbert loves his wife ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

As we roll into 2018, I am so excited to watch him grow. At 2 months he’s already grown so much! I didn’t know what Love was until he came into my life. ❤️

It will soon be the time of year when gyms fill up with newcomers.

 If you contribute to an environment where they feel judged, ridiculed and unwelcome, then you are a big part of the reason why so many Resolutioners fail to continue exercising throughout the year.

I don’t care if they’re using your favorite squat rack.

I don’t care if you have to wait for a while before getting a treadmill.

I don’t care if you think that they socialize and rest more than they actually workout.

You don’t have to be buddy-buddy with every new face, but please stay courteous and respectful towards everyone. You could personally be the difference between whether they continue on this path of an active lifestyle or if they give up after 2 weeks.

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house. Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.

I just stumbled upon the Primal Potential podcast a few days ago. Listening to it has become my thing while on my way to work and on my way home from work. Yesterday my girl Elizabeth Benton broke goals down for me better than anyone has before. Smaller goals. Starting with a 4 week goal and mini 1 week goals that help in getting you to that goal. I want to really start Jan 1st so it’s easier to keep track of weeks for me. But this morning I just wanted to start a simple change. Hot tea in the morning an hour before I eat. This green tea is exactly what I needed this morning too. Cameron didn’t sleep that well last night so a little caffeine is just the thing to get my going for the day. *side note: this took me 4 attempts to make with my tumblr app not loading and taking care of the baby 😂*

Starting today with some green tea. I’ll be doing some exercises between baby naps, and tonight once Dad gets home I’ll go for a run.

While my baby (Cameron) was taking his first nap of the day, I was able to get in my first 30 minute workout. I’m not where I was before my pregnancy but I know now where I’m starting from to get back there.

[livingthatbalance]

Look what I got in the mail. I’m ready!! Month of December I’m going to slowly get back into everything. Then it’s the beginning of my year 💪

Getting back is hard.

I’m watching what I’m eating but I need to get back to being active. But the baby is having trouble sleeping so when he’s sleeping, I’m sleeping. I just want my body back. I don’t fit into any of my clothes.

[livingthatbalance]

I’m back.

Been away for a while. I’m now a mom. I’ve got a better job and I’m ready to focus on my health again after being pregnant.
