Big Changes: Welcome Little Oliver
It’s hard to believe that I had a baby a month ago. For 40 weeks (40 + 2 days to be exact) I had him inside of me. I watched and felt my body change with each passing week.

April Showers Bring Third Trimester Flowers
I’m not going to lie I have been dreading April since August. April 7th was my original due date and I wasn’t sure how I would get past that day without having some (ok a lot of) tears along the way. Even though I was so fortunate to get pregnant a month after my miscarriage it didn’t
New Year New Beginnings
When I think about beginning a new year I think it’s important to reflect on the past before saying goodbye and moving ahead. I can’t help but think about the first two weeks of August when I found out and got to experience what it felt like to be pregnant. I got to be on
Pins & Needles
When I was about six years old I was running barefoot in the grass and stepped on a woodchip. After my mom’s friend pulled out the offending woodchip everyone thought the hard part was over. Fast forward to a few weeks later I stopped walking and regressed to crawling to get around. At first I
Reaching for Food Instead of Tissues
I know that everyone handles loss differently and that everyone grieves in his or her own way. I just wish that my grief didn’t have to involve so many calories. For those of you that read my previous blog post then you know that I suffered a miscarriage a couple of months ago. Not an
Bumpy Road
It’s been awhile since I’ve written something. This doesn’t have anything to do with weight loss but I wanted to share it as you’ve been so supportive along the way. I would say that I’m a fairly honest person. Some would say too honest. But I’m writing this today because I am hoping to start
WGN Segment – Workout Looks
I had such a great time on WGN showcasing affordable workout looks. Part of why we work out is to look good, but part of looking good is feeling good. That’s why I loved featuring great workout looks that help women feel good and look good while breaking a sweat. Check out my recent segment
Olympic Inspiration
I don’t know about you but I love the Olympics – especially the Summer Olympics. For two weeks our dvr is full of sporting events instead of my husband’s episodes of House Hunters and anything on the Discovery Channel. I get so into watching indoor and beach volleyball since I played it for so long.
Old Habits Don’t Die Hard
I’ve been getting a little too comfortable with my eating routine lately. While I’m still not eating dairy I have been having bread a fair amount and I’m not going to lie my sugar intake has been on the rise. What’s the reason for the change in my restricted diet? Oh you know, just falling
Today is a New Day
A night out with girlfriends can be a great energizer for the soul. I went out with my friends Jill and Natalya last night and I have to say I haven’t laughed that hard in awhile. They say laughter is the best medicine and I completely agree. I went home sad that I had to
