Foodie Friday: Jamie Eason’s Turkey Meatloaf Muffins.

March 27, 2015.Reading time 3 minutes.

Two things have changed in my life so far since becoming a mom. The first, it’s always going to take at least an hour for me to get out of the house now. The second? Getting my nutritional needs on target each day is a lot harder now. Eating when I’m hungry isn’t always a […]

#takebackfitspo

Life never really goes as expected. Yet, we never fail to hope, and in some way, expect that it will. The entire time I was trying to get pregnant, and even when that miracle finally came, I had expected to gain a crap ton of weight. On both sides of my family, history shows a […]

Makers and Shakers: Moving It Monday

March 2, 2015.Reading time 4 minutes.

It’s interesting how sometimes you think you have that path of your life and goals all mapped out, but then at the snap of a finger, it changes. While for the most part, my goals for post baby, have remained the same, they still have changed. Why? Have I decided that I’m going to give […]

Workout Wednesday: Yoga and Kettlebells.

February 25, 2015.Reading time 5 minutes.

My fit pregnancy came to an end on Valentine’s Day, and I’m making the transition now to fit momma. Not yet though, I’m enjoying lots of baby snuggles and some time off from my day job right now. But I’ll get there… If you’ve been following my journey, and reading my posts, you know that […]

A Baby Story

February 21, 2015.Reading time 9 minutes.

What a few weeks this month of February has been. It was, to start, just another month, the countdown to baby was on… Then chaos set in. On the 12th, because of baby size and health factors of mine, a c-section was officially decided on. The date was set for the following Tuesday. Just a […]

Living, learning, growing.

In life, I have set out to always do my thing. I can’t really say blaze my own path, because, well, let’s face it, there’s always a lot of other people trying to blaze that path or who are already walking it. I have just wanted to stay true to myself. If I don’t like […]

Manic Monday?

February 2, 2015.Reading time 5 minutes.

Apparently, to think that I’d get a little time to myself to just chill out, de-stress and get ready for the arrival of Baby Rebel… was like asking for that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Or for Dunkin Donuts to start delivering. At 37-weeks, things are still just as full steam […]

Workout Wednesday: Still going & post baby goals.

January 21, 2015.Reading time 4 minutes.

It’s happened. Baby Rebel has decided to start dropping, and tugging my belly down along with him, so I had to do it. I had to buy a maternity band. It helps. Some. It doesn’t provide full relief, especially on my round ligaments, but it is better than nothing. The count down is on, he’s […]

Winter Scales. Stretch Marks. Happy Skin.

January 13, 2015.Reading time 6 minutes.

I live in the frigid white north (AKA, Maine). A mile from the water, so we get all of those “warm” and “lovely” sea breezes. So winter time is particularly joyful. I know, you’re all reading this “from away” saying: But it’s so pretty! Sure it is. But it gets really old after awhile. It […]

I am fearful.

I feel that this posting needs to start off with a few things before we get into the “dirt” of it… First, I’m not religious. By any means. For the longest time, just to get my paternal grandfather riled up, I’d say I was “anti organized religion”. Eventually, I just became a “non practicing Catholic”. […]
