"bosco di febbraio" (2026)

“esercizio di fine marzo” (2026)

After I had Olivia though, I went really hard at my workouts and I was also working full time, breastfeeding and not sleeping. I was limiting my meals, portion control, but I wasn't losing weight. Eventually I noticed my milk supply dropped significantly. I was so bummed and decided to stop. I stopped and started to eat a lot, like A LOT, I think mainly because I was really sleepy, tired, drained and decided I just didnt care at that point. After a few months of that I really started to gain weight.

We moved to Arizona the first week of July and I became a stay at home mom. So, I decided to use my time wisely and get back into shape. Olivia is my last baby so Its time to get back to myself. I have been trying to focus on self care, and I NEED to make time for myself. We moms need to take time out to care for ourselves, mental breaks are so helpful for me and help me be a better mom. Even if that means a warm bath alone for 20 minutes... it's a few minutes of heaven.

I changed my eating, but I'm not limiting food. I eat every 3 hours. I make better food choices. I drink a lot of water. Fruits. Vegetables. Protein. I cut out junk food and soda, I love cookies but I decided to limit them and treat myself when I really really want one. I started to work out 6x week. It has now been almost going on 2 months and I have seen a big difference in my body and especially in the way that I feel!! I feel more energized and happier. I only do a 30 minute workout but I hit it hard, and once a week i hit the basketball court and do drills. That is the worst, lol it's a brutal workout but let me tell you ITS WORTH IT.

I'll post some before and after pictures. It's amazing how our bodies change when you treat it right. Now, I'm still learning and I have many slips. It's hard to eat right everyday and especially with a family, they want certain foods, or they want to go out ... being disciplined isn't one of my strong points. But, everyday I try again.

This weekend wasn't the best on my eating, but I managed to get my basketball drills in this morning as a family and ate a healthy breakfast. Lunch was healthy-ish.. but dinner was amazingly delicious. Chicken thighs, asparagus and tomatoes. Not bad.

Tomorrow I have cardio HIIT ... my favorite. It's a tough workout though, Olivia doesn't make it easy. She hates me doing anything else other than holding her. BUT, I just have to push forward. I have a stash of toys ready to give to her if she loses her shit.

"Come on! It would be a nice bonding experience for everyone! Sam's going to be there..." Chloe tired to influence me as she drove me down the freeway.

"That's not going to work on me, Chloe. Besides, I need a workout anyway." I replied as I stared ahead, avoiding any glances she might have about me being attracted to most obnoxious Drake brother, Samuel Drake.

After seeing his ass back when getting the Tusk of Ganesh and finally getting rid of our grudges of wanting to kill one another, we went on a few more jobs together. For some reason, I couldn't stop thinking about him and Chloe kept saying,

"I feel like you two really have some sexual tensions for each other or something." Chloe spoke out, reading my mind and almost startling me.

"We went over this, Chloe." I responded, slowly beginning to think of Sam and I in a sexual mood. It took me a second to imagine something before I felt my burning cheeks and quickly began to think of some damn animal.

"You two are so awkward around each other, makes me feel like you guys just want to eat each other's face off."

I sigh, still keeping my eyes ahead as Chloe turned into a exit. The rest of the ride was quiet as the radio played until we made it into the parking lot.

"Nathan told me they're already inside."

"Alright."

Chloe grips my wrist, making me look back at her while scrunching a eye. "What?"

"Please...no fighting."

"Ja. Now, lets go." I replied as I grabbed my duffel bag from the back seat then got out the car, closing the door behind me. I followed Chloe and she headed into the gym. It was pretty big as the music boomed in my ears. I kept searching for Nathan and Sam as Chloe checked us in the front desk.

"Come on. They're in the jogging and yoga rooms." Chloe called before stepping away.

I continued to follow her, making our way through a doorway and entering a whole other environment. The music was a little softer on the ears and all I could hear was feet stomping against metal and steel.

"Hey, Girls!" We heard someone call, making me look passed Chloe and finding Nathan and Sam running on the treadmills.

Then, I felt my lungs drop. Sam was running shirtless. For some reason, I couldn't stop looking. I had noticed Chloe had headed towards them in my view, so I followed behind as I continued staring at Sam. He was a lot bulkier than I remembered as his sweat ran down his body. I was glad his eyes were still on Chloe, laughing at something she had said. Then, his eyes moved onto me as Chloe pulled Nathan into a hug. I instantly looked away and focused my attention to a yoga class to my left.

"Hey, we're going to go change. Save two treadmills, alright boys?" Chloe asked before grabbing my wrist and yanking me into the first locker room she found. Once we were in, she lets me go.

"You're quite the starer. Didn't know a shirtless Sam would make you speechless." Chloe grinned.

I was able to feel the heat against my cheeks. "I was not staring!" I spat.

"Oh, right. Well, I guess when I checked up on ya, I just didn't see your eyes glued to the sweaty Sam as he was oblivious?"

I narrowed my eyes at her before pushing her aside to sit down on a bench to start changing. "Shut up, he actually caught me. Though, I don’t think he realized."

Chloe starts to laugh before she walked onto the other side of the lockers to change herself.

"It's not funny!" I said, raising my voice over her laughter.

"Oh, China. It is." She continued to laugh, but actually tried to calm herself down. "Alright, alright. I'll quit, Nadine...just temporarily."
