How I Lost 10 Pounds in 2019

How I Lost 10 Pounds in 2019

This year I feel was my first true year on my postpartum fitness journey. I attributed my 10 lbs weight gain to Hashimotos, but in retrospect I now realize it was a common post-breastfeeding set back. In November 2018 I weighed in at my highest of 148.2 lbs, and one year later I weighed in at my lowest at 134.8 lbs, a 134.8 lbs loss.

Happy Friday!

Happy Friday everyone! Ever since I returned from maternity leave, I live for Fridays! Working full time an hour away from home makes for really long weeks. God forbid there’s traffic and I get home later than usual (like last night 😑). There’s really not a whole lot of time between the time I get home from […]

A home gym dream come true! 🤩 My very own power ra A home gym dream come true! 🤩 My very own power rack. Smith machine (plus separate Olympic bar), cable crossover system, and pull-up bar. The best part was the delivery driver told my husband she was surprised to learn the packages were for me and not him (not knowing it’s pink). 💪 #strongasamother @ritfit.sports

Ran my second #ToughMudder 5K! My good sport of a Ran my second #ToughMudder 5K! My good sport of a husband joined me (his first!). Despite the ridiculously long check-in (an hour and a half in line despite arriving an hour and a half early 🥴), we had a blast. It was this event last year that actually inspired me to take up running. Last Tough Mudder my cardio was 💩. I’m proud to say this year I felt great. Average heart rate was 159 bpm compared to last year’s 176! 📉

I’d love to tackle the 15K next year. Not sure if my husband’s up for 9 miles though. 😆
Can I just toot my own horn for a sec but also tha Can I just toot my own horn for a sec but also thank @thelittleblondeyogi! I’ve always loved lifting, but once I started running last summer, I didn’t know how to properly pair it with strength training without blowing out my legs. Enter @joinladder (#teamAlign 🙌) 5 months ago. Friday’s single leg exercises really are truly a runner’s best friend! #IFYKY

Last week though I was in Maui for a work trip, and coincidentally ran my first half marathon (what a debut race!). Looking back at my trip’s pics, I am 💯 in love with my body and what running AND strength training have done. My core is stronger, my arms are gaining definition, and my legs are rock solid in carrying me through my runs. Thank you Sasha! 🙏
