Finishing a 5k, (3.11 mile), Race — June 2024, (6 1/2 weeks postpartum), vs June 2025, (13 1/2 weeks postpartum).
My finishing time improved by 1 minute & 40 seconds. I’m happy with that, especially considering it was extremely hot outside!!😅

Next June, (2026), I plan to complete my very first sprint triathlon! Sounds exciting, right?! 🥰 We will see!!!🙏🏼

8 weeks postpartum already & we couldn’t be happier with our baby boy, Kai Daniel! He has brought so much joy into our lives!🥹🙌🏼 We are so incredibly blessed🩵
Although I have been trying to stay active with running, as well as running & walking with Kai & Ezra, today was my first time actually working out at the gym postpartum & it felt so good! It’s amazing what our bodies can do🫶🏼
Really looking forward to my fitness journey after giving birth to baby #3 & getting my strength back! I’m sure it won’t be as easy as when I was in my 20’s, but I’m up for the challenge!!💪🏼

33 weeks pregnant today!🤰🏻💕 (Surprise to anyone who didn’t know)!🥳
I saw someone had posted a cute bump picture the other day, months after their baby was born & it got me thinking — I need to update my fitness page!
Well, the truth is, I’ve been kind of neglecting my fitness in general & so on top of being pregnant, I really haven’t felt very good in my body for a while now!😩
Making a baby has not been easy, especially now that I’m well into my 30’s, but even though it’s been rough, God has truly blessed us!🥹💙
I had been running up until about 19 weeks, until my doctor told me I would need to stop due to a rare, but possible complication called “vasa previa”.
Vasa previa is a complication that occurs during pregnancy when the blood vessels that connect the umbilical cord to the placenta lie over or near the entrance to the birth canal, leaving them exposed. When the membranes around the baby rupture, these blood vessels can rupture too. This can cause baby to lose a lot of blood🩸
With this specific complication, the chances of baby surviving range from 97%-100%, so I didn’t feel the need to worry too much, however, a C-section would’ve been absolutely necessary if this would’ve been the case.
We drove to a specialty clinic in the cities to get a second opinion & when they ruled this specific complication out, of course I was incredibly relieved!😭
After a couple weeks, we had to do yet another ultrasound to check on a second, but much more common complication called “placenta previa”, that we became aware of during the same visit we were told of the potential previa vasa.
At this time, we were told that this problem had completely resolved itself & that they were also seeing a healthy decrease in amniotic fluid!🙌🏼
Everything was then deemed normal & I was cleared to start running again, however, I have only ran about twice since. My mental health just hasn’t been great, but I won’t give up!💪🏼
I also started seeing an endocrinologist to help balance my thyroid hormone, as I was previously diagnosed with hashimoto’s thyroiditis, (which I had talked about in a previous post) & so I remain hopeful!🙏🏼
Only 7 weeks left to go🫶🏼

True beauty is not seen by the eye, but felt in the heart!💕

Pamela Anderson is rocking a fresh face at this year's Fashion Awards. ✨

“There is beauty in self acceptance, imperfection and love," she told TODAY.com in a recent interview.

We did it! We tied the knot!💍After 6 years of ups & downs, we finally did it💯
So grateful to my friends & family for all their love & support. I could not have hoped for a more beautiful, meaningful wedding day. Thank you so much for being there to help us celebrate & for helping us make it all possible!💖
It is the start of a new chapter & I am so excited to see what God has in store for us next, knowing His love & guidance will continue making us stronger & bringing us closer together!🫶🏼
This summer absolutely flew by & within the blink of an eye, my boys have started 10th & the 1st grade. I am so proud of them both, to say the least. They are the sweetest souls you will ever meet!💕
My husband has been working hard & has just hit his 1 year mark working as a family medicine doctor. It is so nice to hear about the positive feedback he’s been getting from his patients & their family members. I am very proud of him too!🙏🏼
God has surely blessed us. During the next few months, I will be studying to become a Certified Wellness Coach & I couldn’t be more excited for all that I will be learning & what I might create with my new found knowledge & skills. We have come so far, there is no way we are giving up now! To God alone be the glory!🙌🏼

My boys are so smart & so strong!🥰❤️💪🏼My 9th grader made the honor roll, ending the year with six A’s & one B and my kindergartener is ending the year with a early reading English score, “higher than 95%…” and an early Math score, “higher than 98% of students in the same grade across the nation.”💯
To say I am proud would be an understatement. I am completely blown away! We have been so blessed. God is faithful!🥹🙏🏼
I’ve been so crazy busy planning my wedding that I haven’t really spent time thinking about much else, but today I knew I needed to take some time out to just think. Think about how far we’ve come and how much we all have to be grateful for and what I have found has been simply incredible!😭💗
Now we are just 6 days away from the wedding and I am just so excited to finally be married to the love of my life, for the rest of my life! It’s so surreal and I am SO READY!!!🫶🏼

When you’ve spent your entire life figuring out how NOT to be consumed with what other people are thinking, while working hard to discover your worth, passion & purpose, & you finally reach a point where you think you’ve figured it out, (to a degree), but then suddenly you notice people start acting all different around you. Like now they mad cause you not paying attention?🤷🏻‍♀️
It can be exhausting. Shifting your mindset from WORRIER to WARRIOR takes practice, but it can be done. Focus can aide a perpetual worrier to quit worrying when necessary. It’s not that we don’t have a genuine interest in each individual person or respect them for who they are, we just stopped worrying about what they are thinking in those moments. We have realized that worrying about things that are out of our control isn’t serving anyone & is a complete waste of time⏳
The way people respond can really bring you down if you have ever struggled with knowing your worth. You may even begin to doubt yourself… All. Over. Again. In any case, just remember, you ARE a friendly person. Give yourself some love🥰

At any rate, if someone can’t see that the way you’re acting isn’t about them, maybe they aren’t for you, or maybe they just have some inner work to do yet🧘🏻‍♀️

When it comes to people actually acting cold toward you, you probably won’t ever know what their problem is unless you literally ask, & honestly, good luck with that. Who knows, maybe they are just super shy! You never know what someone is going through. You’re not the only one with insecurities! There is nothing on earth you can do about those who are committed to misunderstanding you🙏🏼

Allow yourself to let go of any desire to please anyone other than your future, beautiful self, because you’ve finally reached that point, & it’s been a long road coming. You will then have more energy to think about the things that truly matter to you & more peace to appreciate & accept everything that God has in store for you, opening the doors up for endless amounts of opportunities & growth!💖
