About Me:
I started this food and fitness blog after spending so much time on Pinterest searching for recipes and workout ideas to stay motivated. After having my first baby, even over a year and a half later, I struggled with losing the baby weight and staying consistent. I often felt stuck—lacking motivation, confidence, and constantly exhausted with a toddler.
I chose to focus on an animal-based diet because I’ve had negative health experiences with purely plant-based foods, and I just feel better eating animal proteins. This blog isn’t about preaching one way of eating over another. It’s about sharing the recipes and workouts that helped me get back to my pre-pregnancy self, while also acknowledging that I’ve brought a whole human into this world!
High-quality animal proteins like lean meats, eggs, fish, and dairy are rich in essential nutrients such as iron, B12, and omega-3s, which support muscle repair, energy, and overall health. These nutrients are highly bioavailable, making them more efficient for the body to absorb and use, which helps boost metabolism and maintain muscle.
Exercise has also been key to my postpartum journey. Gentle workouts like walking, yoga, or resistance training were a great way to ease back into fitness while my body healed. Over time, I gradually incorporated more intense activities like strength training, cycling, and HIIT (high-intensity interval training), which boosted my endurance and helped me shed weight faster. The combination of these exercises not only aids in fat loss but also improves mood, builds strength, and keeps you energized as you navigate life with a little one. I hope my experiences inspire others to find a fitness routine that works for them!
