This is 16 weeks for me. 16 weeks pregnant looks so different for everyone, heck every week in pregnancy looks different but wow is this journey such a blessing! Just remember to not compare yourself to any one else and love your body for the precious miracle it’s growing inside! Counting down the days until we find out the gender (21) and the days I get to feel this little one kick (hopefully soon)! 👶🏻💞

Staying active has been such a huge deal for me during pregnancy. 🚶🏻♀️🤰
I try to walk or do at least 30-40 minutes of exercise every day! The access I have to online programs have helped so much, especially the prenatal ones! The decision I made 2 years ago to join an online community has always been the best decision and will continue to be once I’m a new mama and don’t have much time to workout! So many options for workouts starting at as little as just 10 mins!
During my first pregnancy, I had a subchorionic hemorrhage which meant I was bleeding from a little blood pocket in the uterus. I was told to stop all activity I was doing... legit went from doing an 80 day 1-hour a day program to absolutely NO movement throughout the day. It was a complete change and took a toll on my mental health as much as my physical health! After I lost the baby, I still had to bed rest for a few weeks and wow... it made me realize how much I use working out to cope with things going on in my life.
After my first two losses, I told myself I want to make sure to be safe but also be able to stay active even if it’s just walking! It can be so small but it can help in so many ways mentally and physically through a pregnancy!
That’s why I’m so glad I have access to all the programs and this community to help me going when times are tough. They help me stay motivated when I don’t think I can do it a lot or at least discipline when motivation is lacking!
If you need that community and the resources to help keep you active, let me know, we can do this together! 😊 @ Crystal River, Florida

Merry Christmas Eve for the first time from The McCorkle’s! This year brought a lot of ups and downs for us but so thankful for this man being my constant. This year has taught everyone to hold on tight to what you have and be thankful, so let’s continue to do just that throughout the years to come. Happy holidays! 💞🎄

We’re not defined by the hardships that we go through, we’re defined by how we handle those hardships. 👏🏼
This goes for every day life and your health and fitness journey.
Most days are going to be really hard to keep going, like really hard.
You’re going to look at yourself in the mirror and maybe not love yourself as much as you want to.
You’re going to have things come up in life that push you off track.
You’re going to have people in your life that don’t support your successes.
You’re going to have this… and that… and then this again.
You’re going to fall and you’re going to fail, so what? We all will. You’re not alone.
Get back up - it’ll speak miles about how you trudged through the trenches instead of laying down in the puddles for ever, you can do it. 🌟 @ Crystal River, Florida

This is not going to be an easy post but let me be honest here...
What usually isn't talked about is how many times you think about your miscarriage throughout the day regardless of how many days have passed since it happened. So much has changed mentally and physically with my body that I'm reminded constantly about how the last several months have changed my life.
My mind wanders to what could have been.
My body reflects the infertility weight gain that no one talks about and I'm heavier than i've ever been in my life.
My thoughts think "how could this happen to me or anyone ever".
I struggle daily claiming that I was a mother despite having nothing to show for it. A loss is a loss no matter how far along you were.
The list goes on and on about the daily mental and physical struggles I deal with pretty silently. I truly can never find the right words to express what I'm and so many others are going through and this post doesn't do it justice.
I'm an overall positive person in life. Most everyone in my life could back me up on that. However, during this season of my life, being positive has been the hardest thing to accomplish.
Accountability is what is pushing me forward during my dark days/my emotional days. Accountability from my husband, from my friends, from my accountability/support group, heck... even accountability from my dogs. I have to remind myself I’m never alone. Movement is my outlet and sometimes I forget that so my accountability support system helps remind me. I set that up for myself over the last 2 years, I've forced myself to place people in my life that will hold me accountable and it's because I knew days like these would come where it takes everything I have in me to get out of bed in the morning.
If you're silently fighting your own battle, no matter what it is, but need help with getting through the day, hit me up. I am going through my own battles just like everyone else but we gotta be kind and stick together.
We got this. 👏🏼 @ Crystal River, Florida

We had a record setting weekend out on the water for red snapper, red grouper, and gag grouper. Yours truly caught our biggest grouper ever at 33 inches 🎣 Also everyone on the boat caught massive red snapper (~27 inches) and red grouper (~26 inches)! Thanks to those who made it a GREAT thanksgiving weekend, we have so much to be thankful for! Swipe to see who was on the boat 😋 We keep finding reasons to fall more in love with living in FL.... We pray that we never have to leave this place and/or our life here! @ Cedar Key, Florida

Since I’m an extrovert, this whole full time WFH life doesn’t get any easier (anyone else with me on this one?! 🙋🏻♀️)...
You just find ways to cope.
Some days I don’t speak more than 20 words, move from my desk for more than 20 minutes, and I don’t change out of my PJs (yes- these are my pjs I’m in while on a walk 😋🤣). It sounds like the life doesn’t it? For an extrovert, sometimes that can be daunting.
Yes, it’s truly been a blessing and made things easier and more flexible when it comes to accommodating any of JTs plans for the future for his career (which I’m glad it moved us to FL). Also, I couldn’t see myself going back into an office setting ever again... but if it weren’t for these girls right here... I’d go insane.
Heck who am I kidding.. I go insane with them here but they ease the work day loneliness with their goofiness and kisses.
Don’t worry, I still bug my husband with endless conversations the second he walks in the door. I move my body throughout the day with a workout from my online fit club or a walk. I usually demand we go out to eat at least once a week so I can see more than just our little fam and this house. I also make sure to see the sunlight or breathe outdoor air at least once a day. Or any time I have the chance, I invite friends up for a weekend on the boat.
We all deal with our own demons when we are out of our norm or forced to shift our lives around but these are a few examples of how I combat the WFH lonely life or COVID lockdown blues.... how about you?
Fellow WFH extroverts: What do you like to do to combat the loneliness and pass the time?

Just a little reminder...
You don’t need a fan club to achieve your goals!!!! The only fan you need.... is yourself!
Pick yourself up and be your own motivation. ✨ @ Crystal River, Florida

2 weeks into being married and I’m already feeling my “house wife” vibes hard. Did anyone else feel this immediately? lol
I’ve already started watching several home decor DIYers on IG and can’t WAIT to decorate for Christmas for the first time ever with my man!
The running joke in the house is that now that I’m a wife, I automatically have to start decorating for the seasons 🤣🤣
I’ve legit never cared about normal home decor or decorating for the holidays but in the last few weeks something clicked and I wanted to make our home feel a little more “home-y”. We’ve lived here almost a year and still haven’t hung anything on our walls or fully finished the bedrooms 🤦🏻♀️
No better time to start than now lol send over your fav DIYer tips or your fav DIYer IG handles I could follow for some inspo bc ya girl is not very creative! @ Crystal River, Florida
