#38weeks got me like... 😂😭 I know I haven't been very active on here, and it's really because I've been doing nothing but working, eating, and sleeping. I feel huge, clumsy, sore, tired, foggy-brained, and anxious. I know the journey is almost over, but another completely new one is about to begin. I will still keep this account devoted to my fitness and eating practices, but I also have no intention of rushing my #postpartum recovery. I will not be using #wraps, #pills, or #diets or #workout challenges of any kind to try to get back to my pre-baby body, as if I have some kind of deadline to return to normalcy (why do we women do this to ourselves?!). I am going to relish this time I will have with my new son first and foremost, and let my body tell me when the time is right to get back into a "normal" routine, whatever "normal" means with having a new child, haha. And I hope you are excited as I am to share my experiences with you all! XOXO - Cookie

Happy #NationalPizzaDay!!! Celebrating with leftover #pizzaforbreakfast today 😁❤

#thirdtrimester woe number 4783 😂

Due to being temporarily closed this morning for food safety training, #chipotle is offering a free (and hopefully e. coli free) burrito to anyone who texts RAINCHECK to 888222. You're welcome. I think. 😂😁

True dat. Happy Superbowl Sunday, folks!

Get your own bowl, pup. This one's MINE!!! #holyguacamole

Leftover pressure cooker pasta for breakfast. Because... Pasta. And marinara sauce and ground beef and cheese. Yesssss.

Just say no to #legprisons 😂

"I'm sorry ma'am, but we accidentally put your smoothie in a larger cup." 🍑🍍 I ain't complaining... 😁

SO. MUCH. THIS. #repost from the awesome @meatified: 🌟 File this under, "media messaging drives me crazy". Spotted these magazine covers almost next to each other. Top: "Men! EAAAAAT! Do what you want! Grow lots of muscles! Eat this enormous tower of bacon, no problem!" Bottom: "Womenfolk! You may eat this thing. But only if you're not eating this other thing! And make sure to eat this pitiful serving of pseudo- nutrition with a healthy side of guilt and self loathing! Because you're only deserving of these little pre-allotted 350 calorie "meals", duh. PS, please change yourself to suit everyone else so that we can sell you more crap and make money from that aforementioned self loathing, plskthxbai!" 🌟 Just, nope. Eff this. There's more to life than this insanity. Eat the food. Take up space. Be your own human. And squash anyone who wants you to be "less" to suit their own purposes.

😁😁😁

It's the beginning of a new year, meaning you're going to be subjected to numerous invalid claims that your body needs to be "detoxed" to help you overcome the holidays and "jump start" your weight loss efforts. The truth is, your body does a fine job by itself of keeping you detoxed, and if anyone truly needed detoxing, they'd be in the ER. Save your money and your sanity and don't fall for it.

Weight loss goals may be difficult, but maintaining them is even harder. Think about it. Is what you're doing right now something you can continue to do for the rest of your life? Are you building better habits, or are you temporarily depriving yourself in hopes of quick change? 🌟 Sure, results may happen, and fast, but how long can you sustain them? There is no "I'll go back to my normal routine afterwards," because your body will just bounce back to what it was, maybe even with a few more pounds! 🌟 End the vicious cycle. Set yourself up for success by establishing small and manageable habits and build upon them.
