I am officially two months postpartum and am finally ready to start being active again. Well more active than I am because I do chase a toddler around and am breastfeeding which is a workout in itself. I am also unfortunately one of those kinds of pe...

Online Workouts

I recently moved to a small town that (believe it or not) doesn't have a single chain gym. That's right, there's no Planet Fitness or LA Fitness, etc. within 30 minutes from me. Sooooo home workouts it is! We have locally owned speciality places for ...

I have been doing MadFit workouts since COVID. I love how her workouts aren't cringey and that she fully explains each move for even the most novice of people.

If you need an energetic workout coach, then you'll love Kaleigh Cohen workouts. I used to do indoor cycling but then sold my bike. She has a strength channel too that I might try! I could use an exra boost of happiness.

For a hot second there, I was starting my day with Sarah Beth Yoga workouts. I love that she sends workouts right to your email instead of having to search Youtube for them! She has free and paid options!

Food Recipes To Try

I am not the most healthiest of eaters. I can admit that, but I want to be. So maybe if I post healthy recipes to try here and have all of you check in to see if i've tried any of them, it will help keep me accountable? Let's see 👀

Hands down one of the best recipes I have tried in a long time. I love dressing up chicken as it's not my favorite meat. This is so fresh and light and easy to portion control and help hit your protein goal.

My husband has really helped me learn how to try new foods. Before him, I would have never thought to try Mediterranean foods and now I love it. This is a longer prep time recipe but I love it and it's worth it if you have the time!

Not every meal can be the healthiest meal you've ever eaten. And for me, lunch is often my cheat meal. Grabbing something quick like a quesadilla is perfect when you don't have a lot of time. I have tried this one and it's refreshing!

Another great recipe to try for those who aren't the biggest fan of chicken but know it's good to eat! If it's on a bun, I love it.

Workout Fits

A new workout plan requires new workout clothes. I don't make the rules. Ladies, go ahead and tell your husbands/spouses/significant others that I said it was ok to drop your next paycheck on new clothes. I'm a firm believer in the mantra that if I l...

These are the best biker shorts I have ever worn. I wear a large due to bigger thighs. They don't ride up or roll and the 6in length is a flattering cut that's not too short and not too long.

Similar to the biker shorts, these leggings are amazing. I wear a medium. They are a higher waist and hit right above my ankle (5'6" height). They are buttery soft and not see through at all.

If you want a legging fit but in pants, these are my favorite. I get the tall length and love how flattering these are. I wear a medium!

Rewards (Because Sticking to a Plan Requires Special Treats)

Repeat after me: you deserve to give yourself grace. If you do something that is hard for you, reward yourself. No i'm not condoning buying yourself something new every time you step on the treadmill or eating a sweet treat because you worked out. BU...

IF I journal everyday for the next few weeks, then I am going to treat myself with this refillable journal. She's pricey, but I love that it's refillable so I can justify the price. Plus you can customize it with your initials.

Once I get to my goal weight (down 10lbs), then I am going to treat myself to these pants that I have been eyeing for months now but couldn't justify the price while my weight was fluctuating.

I am a wine girly and have wanted to join a wine of the month club for years. I think it's finally time I start. IF I can keep up with my water intake, then I can end the day with a glass of wine and my favorite book.

Mental Health

Mental health is just as important as your physical health. If you can workout your body then you can workout your mind. Mental health workouts come in all shapes, for me they are journaling out the bad, taking a nap, sitting in the shower for an ext...

Journaling is one of the best things I have done for my mental health. Before I had my second, I was journaling almost everyday. When I had my little girl, I stopped. This is my sign to get back into it! I am currently using a hardback Papier journal...

This past summer, I started reading and doing exercises from The Artist's Way. I got distracted halfway through but I plan on trying this again. It's from here that I learned to journal the bad out to have a good day and to take myself on artists dat...

In my spare time (which is not a lot these days), I like to read. I have been trying to end my nights with at least a chapter of my current book. Because I'm also a content creator, I have a small bookstagram account where I try to remember to share ...

For most people, screentime is not something that's helpful for their mental health. We just moved into a new construction home and Pinterest has been fun for me as I try to find how I want to style my home.
