I'd gained a lot of weight over the last 5 years, through pregnancies and fertility treatments and baking and eating cakes just for sport, and was determined to get my Self Back, or at least a stronger self. Thank you E2M (the program (cult?) I've been following, salted cashews and bell peppers, thank you lumbar and hand weights and Peloton, thank you Morrison for watching the kids while I work out, thank you crockpot chicken thighs and celebration meals and handfuls of dark chocolate almonds, thank you water and wine, thank you MY BODY AND MY MIND for being strong enough to carry me gracefully, or regularly? Into this very blessed middle of life. Comment Manage your email settings or unsubscribe.
