You Are Beautiful

The D Word

Let's be honest. There are a lot of misconceptions about depression. It's more common than you think!

P.S. You are more than welcome to laugh at me! I sometimes get lost in my thoughts and they don't come out super well ;)

*I didn't do my bust because I'm breast feeding, and well... my boobs fluctuate. 

Even more than my measurements,

 I can finally hold my plank again! 

I can feel my abs underneath my extra padding.

I can carry the car seat with my babe in it without having to use both hands. 

I can walk up the 3 flights of stairs to my apartment without feeling like I'm going to die.

I can fit into my skinny jeans again!

Most importantly, I'm FEELING GOOD. 

I'm not working out, eating right, and constantly posting selfies because I want to 'brag'. I'm posting them because I want people to know that you can meet your fitness goals! 

I'm posting them because I want the HELP people! 

This is my passion, and I want to help as many people as I can get to their fitness goals!
