(Warning… Super Cute BABY picture below… READ ON!!!)

As many of you know, I had a baby girl in May.  She is the ultimate joy in my life!  It’s interesting how life changes and priorities change.  I’ve gotten a lot of emails on how my life has changed and how I balance raising a baby and keeping a healthy lifestyle.  I would describe myself a very structured type A personality.  Pre-Baby, I worked out 5-6 days per week.  The bulk of my workouts consisted of either a 6 mile run or a Bikram Yoga class (always first thing in the morning).  As far as my diet goes, I would focus on listening to my body and eating when I was hungry… when my body asked for food.  It’s funny how life changes… and more importantly how life changed me!  I knew having a baby would change my life, but I never knew how much my attitude towards things would change.  Now, post-baby, I workout when I can.  I have no set schedule.  I still run and attend yoga when time allows, but my workouts and days are not about me anymore.  I make it a point to take some time for myself… but if  I don’t get a workout in, I don’t stress about it.  I always keep my daughter my priority, while maintaining a healthy lifestyle.  My body has changed since having a baby, but it doesn’t bother.  I know as long as I listen to my body and stay active, it will slowly work its way back.  The big thing is, when life changes, you have to roll with the punches and make changes to adjust.  

I plan on taking a different angle with Weekly Bite.  My passion is to communicate the importance of a healthy lifestyle, to encourage readers to make the changes needed to be healthy and happy, whether it’s by posting a new recipe, writing an inspiring article, or answering your questions… my passion is to get that message across.  I send out a weekly newsletter and really only update the blog when the newsletter is sent.  I will be posting on a more regular basis, but not sending an email out each time… so please check back often!  The newsletter will still be sent out weekly!

I’ve gotten loads of emails from readers wanting to see a picture of my baby… well here she is…My beautiful baby Marin…
