Mama Gets Jacked

Today, I promise to drink (at least) one glass of water before eating. Whether that be eating a meal or snacking, I will drink water first. Why? Because I'm horrible at it. I'm probably constantly dehydrated because my first thoughts go to drinking coffee rather than water. I also firmly believe that sometimes when we feel hungry, we're actually thirsty. Yet typically when I feel hungry, I eat rather than drink. Following my nutrition plan hasn't been going, well, to plan. I've been quick to give into hunger cravings, quick to eat the chocolate sitting around the house, quick to shove food in my face when I'm bored or not thinking. So today, I'll try to fix part of this problem by hydrating more. One small promise a day. That's the current plan. If I can follow through on one small promise every single day, soon those promises will amount to big change.

The world doesn’t need another mommy blogger. It definitely doesn’t need another “fitness” mommy blogger telling ya’ll what you should be doing to drop that baby weight. I do think the world could use more honesty and transparency. It could use people sharing with one another that life isn’t always a piece of cake but that sometimes, it’s the whole darn thing. So here’s to sharing all the ups and all the downs as I personally navigate fitness postpartum, learn to actually love this incredibly capable body, and try to encourage and inspire my children (and maybe you, too) along the way. I have no idea how often I’ll update because #momlife, and I have no clue what the content of this will actually be. Let’s just think of this platform as a sort of journal documenting anything and everything that passes through my head. And as J is now crying and trying to grab the computer mouse, I’ll leave it at that for now. Looking forward to the journey ahead.
