Ditka Dash 5K November 30th

December 23, 2013 / jenbrice

A few weeks ago I ran the Ditka Dash 5K at Soldier field with some of my friends. The weather wasn’t too bad (in the 40s) but I have decided that I will wait until next spring/summer to run any more races, too cold for me! Had lots of fun though! 🙂

And just like that it's been a week. I have yet to write the first blog post because #momlife and #workingmomlife but the first topic I want to dive into is related to the physical changes your body goes through during and after pregnancy. This picture was taken sometime around 7 months of my pregnancy. 🤰 And I can't love my body more than I do in this picture. It goes beyond the normal beauty that's seen on magazines and mainstream media. This is the beauty of growing a human being. What a kickass super power. #babybump #pregnancyphotoshoot #love #baby #pregnancy #pregnancylife #prenatal #physicalchanges #beauty

To all the Momma’s who don't look the way they used to... That don't feel as confident as they used to. Who’s photos are of their beautiful babies instead of selfies because you can't find a filter to fix the tired eyes or get a decent angle anymore. To all the moms that feel like they have lost their identity. All those who feel like they have lost friends along the way. To the ones who forget what day of the week it is and can't remember the last time you had a bath or toilet break alone. I just want to tell you that you are amazing! So strong and beautiful. And that it's okay to cry and crave just 20 minutes alone. You are a superstar... even if you don't always feel like it. 😍😍😍 Being a mom is hard work and constant. Every day you make it work and get up the next day to do it all again. Be proud of yourself. Every day you become stronger and more inspiring to other moms just trying to keep it together too. Go Be Your Own Warrior 💜💜💜

I was stuck at 166 pounds for weeks. Then I gave up alcohol and started chasing toddlers for a living and finally broke my plateau. 4 lbs lighter, now I just have to hammer out these last 10 pounds. 💪 #weightlossjourney #noalcohol #chasingkids #bouncingback #bodyback #exercise #mombod #fitness #postpregnancybody #postnatal #postnatalfitness

Stronger than yesterday. Being a mom has helped me get to the next level. Soaking up this wonderful time of recovery and healing. I'll never get back to where I was because where I'm going is so much better. 😊 #yoga #strongmom #strong #stretching #lifting #momswholift

Celebrate the small wins in life. Down 2 pounds despite my pizza and taco diet. 🤣 So 17 pounds from my pre pregnancy weight. 10 weeks after giving birth. Not bad for a momma who gained 40 lbs during pregnancy. 🤰 If you're interested in learning more DM me your email address and I'll give you more info on how you CAN get your body back after having a baby! Even if it's been longer than 10 weeks!😊

Been fighting a cold since Saturday but haven't let it make me miss my workouts. 😊💪 #fit4mom #workout #exercise #mombod #bouncingback #fitness #momlife #momhair #love #baby #noexcuses #sick #cold #flu #strongmom #strollerstrides
