Im not really a selfie-girl, but I think this is important, so here ya go!
It’s not about weight loss, but actually just the opposite. When I was pregnant with Camden I ate whatever looked good in the name of pregnancy and the fact that I was “eating for two.” And while that is true, I was not feeding either of us what we needed. Tipping the scale at over 80 pounds OVER my pre-pregnancy weight opened my eyes to the weight (pun intended) of my eating and lifestyle choices. No, my goal isn’t to be a super model moments after birth, but I do want to be healthy for myself, my family and my new babe. What started as a simple No Candy until after the Gestational Diabetes test has morphed into much more. I have seen that I CAN have self- control with what I eat. I CAN feel good even when pregnant. I CAN be a better wife, mama and overall human being.
I am sick of my catch phrase being, “the only thing I’m consistent with is inconsistency.” Ugh I shutter just thinking about how that has become the narrative of my life over the past couple of years. Yes, I have been working full-time while navigating marriage and motherhood- but that’s not an excuse to let myself go.
I should thank my metabolism because I know many of you would say that I don’t exactly look like I have let myself go, but I feel it. I don’t have the energy, passion or drive that I once did and I want it back!
So here is to a season of health- spiritually, emotionally, mentally and physically. Feel free to follow along and drop encouraging comments below!
