Food, Fitness, And An Anxious Mamma

Hello, all! Happy Friday!! Do you have any fun weekend plans? We are hoping to go to “Boo At The Zoo” on Sunday because the weather is going to be nice! Baby K and I have coordinating outfits!

Any other GOT fans out there?

Anyway….

Let’s talk ANXIETY:

I have struggled with anxiety for a long time. After my dad passed away it peaked, but I coped with yoga, prayer, deep breathing, and medication (for a little while).

I was doing awesome, then I had a baby. I do well when I am with her, but the second I am away from her I feel the anxiety rise. We both are extremely attached to each other.

Isn’t she so sweet?

I left her with her grandma on Thursday because I had a commitment out of town. It was only a few hours, but I struggled initially. But of course, everything was fine. I had a great time celebrating my best friend’s birthday, and baby K got quality time with her grandma. I need to do this more often for the both of us!

Now lets talk FOOD FAVORITES THIS WEEK:

Banza chickpea pasta with meat sauce! It was so good. I have really taken to this pasta!

Veggie pizza and salad! This tasted so good, despite setting the fire alarm off haha.

Garlic pasta and chicken with veggies!

FITNESS:

*3 Mile run

*Long walks with baby

*Fitness Blender: Spartan 500 workout (can be found of YouTube)

*Barre Video

*Spin class

*The elliptical

It was a great week of workouts!

Well, that’s about it for this update. Have a wwonderful weekend, everyone!

With love,

Carly

  3. Awww the matching outfits are too cute! It’s totally understandable you feel anxiety when you’re away from K but I’m happy you were able to still have a good time for your friend’s bday! The food looks so darn tasty, as always! 🤤
