I'm back today with a long overdue update. It has been a little over a month since I started my lifestyle change and in the past few weeks I've had an even more drastic lifestyle change! So, today I wanted to sit down and write about what has been going on in my life; in terms of diet, life, and blog changes.
For anyone who did not have the chance to read my "Why I'm Here" post, I originally created this blog as a means to post recipes coordinating to my (very specific) diet, as well as some fashion and lifestyle posts to go along with that. Since changing my eating habits, I have seen some significant changes in so many aspects of my life. For starters, I have much of my energy back. My skin has been clearer than ever. I feel great about what I am putting into my body and I am having a blast researching new recipes and ideas to cook! I know my diet seems very daunting but I truly believe that even the smallest changes and being more conscious about what you are fuelling yourself with make all the difference.
Over the course of the month, I have also received some news that has blown my allergy test out of the water... I'm expecting! In September to be exact. This surprise has been one of the craziest of my life, but I couldn't be happier. I have always known I wanted to be a mama and I really believe that this is a sign from God (or the universe, whatever you believe in) that it was meant to be. I've spent the last few weeks planning and researching like crazy!

So... what does this mean for my blog?
Like I said when I first started this - it has always been my dream to be a writer, and I love being able to document my experiences both for myself and for anyone else out there who might be in the same situations. I want to continue this blog but simply expand what I write about to encompass what is going on in my life; so that means continuing my recipe posts, fashion posts, and then adding some posts about being a young, new mom! I would love to connect with more young expecting ladies, as well as continue to reach those of you who have been liking my recipe posts! As someone said to me, new moms are new whether you are 22, 32 or 42... it's all a new experience which can both be exciting and nerve-racking!
In the spirit of the shift in my content, I decided to rename my blog, as you may have noticed. I like to think that I have always pushed through every new and challenging thing that has ever been put in front of me, and I have never let anyone tell me that I can't have it all. This new chapter in my life - whether related to my diet or my little one - is no different! I know that, while things may be crazy, I am ready for anything, and I am excited to share and document all of the ups and downs that come along.
As always, thanks to anyone reading, and I hope anyone reading enjoyed this post, and you can look forward to my next!
