I signed up for a 5k!

We’ve been discussing clean eating, working out and over all caring for our temples. What are your goals? My short term goal is to be able to run a 5k at a reasonable pace. I can hear the Lord say. Now is not too late.

Refried beans smothered tortillas

Steak bites, veggies, sour cream and green salsa Also, I know there is a name for it. I saw a girl post about this being a struggle meal as she added all the toppings.

Motivation tips!!!

So I recently started my gym journey (again) after having two kids but I cannot get myself to go everyday. What is y’all’s motivation? What helps you have energy for the gym? I love it when I’m there and how I feel after, but the act of getting myself and my two kids ready to go just stresses me out 😂

Opinion on prenatal vitamins

Im debating taking it or not. I try my best to intake natural forms of medicine and vitamins and it just feels like another pharmaceutical company gig tbh. Not against anyone taking it.. but do you think its necessary? A MUST?

Gym

This is so random but I need help choosing a gym. Do I got for a Ladies only gym that's open 24/7 but is a 15-20 minute drive away (at no traffic times) Or do I go for a normal gym (closes at 6 at weekends etc) that is a 6 minute drive away ???? Can't for the life of me decide as I love the idea of it being open all...
