If you follow me on Instagram, you’re well aware that I’m in the middle of a Whole30 challenge. And I say challenge instead of ‘diet’ intentionally because that’s what it is: a nutritional challenge, not a weight loss gimmick. While I do have weight loss goals, and most people who make it through a Whole30 do lose weight, this time …

View PostLife Lately + Some New Goals
Hey folks! I wanted to take some time to write a short post about my life lately. Not that anything particularly exciting or significant has happened, but in a way it has personally.
