Anyone else back to the grind after an epic weekend? This past weekend was one for the books! If you follow us on Instagram, you know the App State squad got together for our annual Friendsgiving! We stuffed our faces, drank all the wine, and continued to force friendship on our children. But earlier that day… I checked off a long-awaited item on my personal bucket list. Almost 8 years in the making, I completed my VERY FIRST half marathon.
In a mother’s world of housekeeping, meal prepping, bathtimes, managing social schedules – and hello! WORKING! – … moms are guilty for putting themselves lowest on the totem pole.
This little sweetie… (pictured below) made me a mommy on January 27th. I read parenting books and blogs. I made schedules and followed them to a ‘T.’ I asked my mom, sisters, and in-laws for all of their best parenting advice. Everything was going well into my first few months of motherhood.
When you find out you’re pregnant, exercising may not be the first thing that races through your mind. No pun intended. This is especially true during the first trimester because it seems like sleeping 24/7 wouldn’t even be enough. It can be very difficult to find the energy during pregnancy to get up and workout, but for me (and so many others), it was SO worth it.
