Get the best tips on post baby weight loss! Something I haven't written about much in the last two years is my weight loss journey. For the longest time, I was embarrassed about my "before" pictures. Even though I no longer look like that, I was ashamed of the way I looked and didn't want anyone to know (even though I obviously looked like this to everyone all day every day, I didn't have this visual image of myself until I looked at photos). Now that I am 2 years out from starting my weight loss journey, and 1.5 years past hitting the big 50 lb mark, I feel comfortable Keep Reading

I didn’t know the caloric impact of a sundae Keep Reading
Mommy’s Meal Plan Philosophy – Low Sugar, Low Sodium, Good Fats & Water!
I just had the pleasure of introducing two friends to the weight room floor this morning. They are not new to working out, but they are new to weights. They've seen the results I've achieved to date primarily weight lifting, so now they're on board with the Live Fit Trainer! I couldn't be happier to have workout partners.
