The Surprising Reason You Can’t Drop the Baby Weight

March 2, 2018 by Megan Leave a Comment

I was mindlessly scrolling through Facebook when a question popped up, "what do you miss most about your life pre-kids?" Immediately I thought, "MY BODY!" And then it hit me like a ton of bricks. Without barely being aware of it, I was hanging on to so much anger and resentment. I felt cheated. Admitting this to myself and saying this out loud feels so wrong, because I birthed four healthy babies and the miracle of that is not lost on me. But my healing can only come from being honest, ...

How I lost 11 lbs in 30 Days

February 9, 2016 by Megan 4 Comments

Many moons ago, pre-baby #4, I did Whole30 and lost 12 lbs. I loved it and felt great. Then the holidays hit. And my birthday. And before I knew it I was pregnant. You can read all about my first Whole30 experience here and what I ate here. There are plenty of inspiring Whole30 Experiences to check out here. I feel like I have so many ideas swirling around in my head about food and weight and body image and I hope I can get my message across. I spent most of my life as the skinny kid. ...

Not My Week

August 17, 2015 by Megan 2 Comments

Ironically, after writing about seeking balance and being pulled in a million directions and mom guilt (this post)-- this week happened. Monday afternoon was a regularly scheduled OB visit to check up on me and baby number four and it was also coupled with the much-loved glucose test. For those of you not familiar, you drink a disgusting drink similar to a soda syrup and then wait an hour to have a blood draw. This would be my fourth time doing it. Tuesday morning I was awoken by my ...

20+ Zucchini Recipes

July 24, 2015 by Megan Leave a Comment

We have long been fans of chopping up zucchini and throwing it in our spaghetti sauce. The kids would gobble it up and call them meatballs. We never bothered to correct them. When I did Whole30 (read about that here), I became obsessed with zoodles. I bought the Veggetti Spiral Vegetable Slicer (affiliate link), because it was cheap and had good reviews.
