    My Fitness Journey

    I finally got around to filming my fitness journey which I shared on my YouTube channel. Since I’ve been sharing my fitness journey here on my blog for many years, I thought I’d share the video here as well. I anted to share my fitness journey on my YouTube when I first launched my channel in late 2019, but after I found out I was pregnant much of my content and focus on fitness change. This video is to share my journey over the past 7+ years and to have as a reference when I get back into a routine after baby girl arrives and I recover from delivery.

    pregnancy favorites + must haves

    It’s hard to believe I’m in my eight month of pregnancy. Time is flying! Now that I’ve gotten through most of my pregnancy, I feel like I have a good idea of what I deem a must have during this time. Granted, I’ve been pregnant during a very different time than others, so I may have a different perspective on what’s a “must have.” Anyways, I shared a video on my YouTube of everything I’ve been enjoying during my pregnancy.
