SAINT

Spent my birthday doing the things I do regularly- what a privilege and blessing to enjoy my life as if every day was my birthday. And being able to share this life with Vicente, Ande & Pisco, surrounded by so much love!

Just returning from our incredible road trip through northern California- here are my favorite highlights from the 1st half of our trip, as we traveled across the following cities 🚗🌲🦭🏞️:
- Santa Barbara, CA
- Big Sur to Monterey, CA
- Sacramento, CA
- Lake Tahoe (South)
- Lake Tahoe (North)
- Napa, CA with family
- Yosemite National Park, CA with family
- Kings Canyon National Park, CA

We’re doing good over here. Running on coffee and smiles. Told myself I wouldn’t post much of my boy to keep things private, but then I’d post nothing ever since he’s pretty much the main event of every day! Plus, it’s hard not to.. I mean just look at our little burrito-loving, sky-pointing, social butterfly. 🥹😅

Today I make 2.5 months postpartum emergency C section.
There’s no better time than now to explore my *upgraded* self and discover what I’m capable of. Today was my first day at the gym since I was 6 months pregnant. I restarted simpler level reformers Pilates classes x2 last week as well to regain pelvic and core stability.
I definitely lost strength and felt weird and sore around my core today. I haven’t engaged certain muscles in months after being stretched out, torn and cut. But if that doesn’t stop me from pushing myself to achieve greatness in fitness, health, nutrition, and in life, I don’t think anything will 🥰

Today I’m celebrating all the mamas who sacrificed themselves for their children and then found the stamina to rediscover balance again. It may look a little different than the balance pre-pregnancy, but as long as we keep looking ahead and striving for better because we deserve it, our lives and children’s lives will be better because of it. ♥️🙏🏽
