Moms vs Depression

Mom with depression: you are not alone.

Continue Reading "Moms vs Depression"

Happy first birthday, my darling.

You make my life so incredibly happy. When I’m at my lowest. When I’m at my wit’s end. When the world@seems to be falling apart. You, my glorious girl, you remind me of the hope in the world. And I can’t wait to share that with you every day. #momlife #momsofinstagram #babygirl #joy

Yup, I look like shit. So why am I smiling? Well, I just completed another #workout . Let me just say...life is hard. Like, so hard. And I’ve had a lot of excuses lately. 1. I’m tired. 2. My kids kept me up. 3. Work was hard today. 4. I ate a salad today. And so on. And they’re all true. They’re all valid. But I’ve got to keep going. I’m ready to be healthy. I’m going to be healthy. I’m going to be in shape. I was reminded by @abigailsavannah that it isn’t about the number on the scale—it’s about having a #healthylifestyle . And I’m striving for it. @dynamike_fitness @_melissaariel_ #healthyfood #exercise #exercisemotivation #weightlossjourney #weightlossaccelerator #wla #fitnessjourney #fitnessgirl #happiness #selfcare

So, I talked a big game the other day. I talked about how I was ready to start this #weightlossjourney . I talked about I was clean eating and ready to work out every day. I wasn’t. I got scared. I let fear get in the way of my success. I felt guilty. How could I start this process after I’ve already gotten lost. But I’m not lost. I just took a longer way around. I’m ready now. I’m ready to put my health over my fear. I’m ready for the next move. Let’s do this. @_melissaariel_ @dynamike_fitness #workout #healthylifestyle #healthyliving #weighlossmotivation #motivation #movingforward #nofear #exercisemotivation #exercise #weightlossaccelerator

Well, I went out to eat with the family tonight. I was terrified. I love carbs. I love bread. I. Love. Butter. We went to #redlobster . So many trigger foods I had a cheddar biscuit—I won’t lie. It was heaven—I still won’t lie. But I learned that I can be healthy while going out. I learned that veggies and protein really do taste good. I feel full in a healthy way for the first time in a long time. I’m ready for my next steps. I’m ready to eat healthy, enjoy it, and limit the bad that goes into my body. I’m honest—I will have those cheddar biscuits every now and then, but overall, I’m so proud of my #healthylifestyle . Thanks, @_melissaariel_ and @dynamike_fitness for introducing me to the Weight Loss Accelerator program! #day1 #weightlossjourney #healthyliving #mombod #nutrition #happyandhealthy #eatingwithoutguilt #foodstagram

My attempts to make green eggs. Me: “Well, I tried.” Daughter: How about you try again? #momlife #momsofinstagram #food #greeneggs #toddlerlife #toddlersofinstagram

“Mom! I did it myself!” 🤦🏻‍♀️

So it begins... #healthylifestyle #whole30 #gettinghealthy #readyforchange

Happy birthday to my darling girl. You are by far the sassiest, most tenacious, and most curious little girl I’ve ever met. I am inspired by your sense of adventure and empathy. And my gosh, are you so smart and beautiful. Happy third birthday (going on 17). It has been three years of pure love and joy. Thank you. #birthdaygirl #toddlernomore #thirdbirthday #momlife
