You Are What You Wear… well not all the time, But wearing this Stronger than yesterday.. sweatshirt, this exactly represents me when I get things done. I just want to share this very powerful sweatshirt that I am wearing to y’all. I made this myself you can find this on my etsy store.

I just want to express how I feel every time I get things done or after working out. I am here to give inspiration to y’all that is why I am still working on this blog. This statement of Stronger the yesterday is a perfect outfit for anybody who going through something like a sickness or anything big in your life. Another message that this sweatshirt gives is that I am ready to conquer the world, this shirt is for everybody.

Now let me talk about the material of this sweatshirt. My usual size is medium but I sized down on this one, this is 50% polyester and 50% cotton. This sweatshirt is very soft, also the sleeves are longer but can be styled just like that or by rolling the sleeves, this sweatshirt is unisex.

So I wore this on top of my sports bra and paired with my Phat Buddha leggings that are so soft and stretchy. Wore it with my new kicks here, these Adidas shoes are very comfy. Another athleisure style for the win for those seeking a comfy and chic look. In case you miss my fitness journey post… check it out here.

For those who have been following me, now you are seeing my other creative side, making sweatshirts and designs. I just started doing this and hoping for your support on my small biz here. I thank you once again for your time on stopping by here and checking out my blog post. I hope I was able to give inspirations to all of you.

See you again on the next post.

Fitness Journey after Third Baby

Fitness Journey after Third Baby

Fitness Journey after Third Baby, sharing how I am keeping up to be the healthier version of me and how I was able to do it.

I just wanna let you all know I will not be able to do this without the support of my husband. He always pushes me and motivates me. Even before we got married. I told him that if I become unhealthy and if I will go out of the healthy BMI (body mass index) it means he doesn’t care about me anymore because he is not noticing it.

So right after pregnancy, I waited to get a clearance from my doctor when I can start working out again. Before then, while o=still on maternity leave. My in laws, me and my husband worked on improving our home gym. As you can see on the picture below and also to get you updated in case you missed the first part of my fitness journey here.

Let me start of with my diet. I do not particularly follow a certain diet. I do have the body boss cookbook and just got the recipes that I really liked. I used to follow this before I got pregnant. I do meal prep, my favorite is just baking mixed vegetables like, asparagus, mixed bell peppers, Brussel sprouts, yellow squash, mushroom. I drizzle olive oil, Parmesian cheese and chili powder and salt and pepper. This usually becomes my lunch for the work week and ceasar salad for dinner or protein shake after workout, the oat meal and eggs for breakfast. I cut down on sweets, this is hard because it is my weakness.

My workout routine is I follow the bodyboss method. I have been really trying to incorporate this every week. My husband and I give ourselves at least 40 mins a day 4-5x a week for this. I have not returned to my pre-pregnancy weight but I feel so much better now and has more energy.

It is just a matter of giving time to work on yourself a day and also eating healthy. We are also trying to be a good example to our children as a healthcare professional. I have been seeing a lot of young people being sick, their condition is worst that most of the elderly patients that I always work with. It is about lifestyle.

I hope I was able to inspire you guys specially the mamas out there.

Thank you for stopping by.

Simply,

We as a family love the outdoors, we always go to the park, we bike roller skates and roller blades and things like that. So when Winter time comes and we wanna have fun. Game night is a good idea for us with small kids.

A hit for us is the JENGA classic, this one is a heart stopper and is truly a fun game to play. second is the UNO cards. The others are the SORRY and and CONNECT 4.

It was also a good idea to do it by the fireplace if you have one. I just wanna say if you do not wanna deal with getting real logs, we bought this Electric heater log that looks like a real logs on fire and it also serves as a heater at the same time.

The sherpa blanket we were sitting on was also the comfiest idea ever during this season. It gives us comfort and warmth and can always snuggle with it afterwards. Don’t forget also that movie night is a hit just like what I posted here last Christmas.

I hope I was able to give some game ideas to play specially for moms who have little ones like me. These games will surely be a hit for them.

I am not going somewhere tropical this season, just a wishful thinking! But I know a lot of you are going so I put up this post in case you are looking for some fresh outfits to take with you. I found them from these two stores: ASOS and Red Dress Boutique and they are in good price points. This post just made me feel like I wanna go on vacation… like at least closer… Bahamas maybe? I have never been.

It is actually my goal to be able to travel somewhere warm, during the Winter. I have tried it twice when we went back home in the Philippines. It was so nice to escape Winter for a couple of weeks. I should call myself an island girl but lately though. My body is changing and I am really tolerating the cold. I do not layer that much anymore compared to before.

For those who will be going somewhere cold-er… I will also make a blog post for it to kinda give you some inspirations as well. In case you will be going skiing or doing some sledding… I actually wanna try snowmobile. I think that sounds fun.

Thank you for stopping by and see you again on the next post.
