Emily Parker Thanks for all the wonderful suggestions! You and Lindsey have some similar suggestions that I should look into and implement. I’ve been trying to eat more protein, more often throughout the day.

I’m an adoptive momma so I don’t breastfeed, but I think all the moving around helping kids contributed to the weight loss…?! Lots of love back from Japan!

Lindsey Jordan Appreciate the suggestions, I’ll take a look. Right now I’ve been taking whey powder with a chocolate flavor. Seed cycling, that’s a new word for me!

I’m an adoptive momma so I don’t breastfeed, but I sure am moving a lot more with two kiddos!

This was therapy for my lower back 🧘🏻‍♀️

Thanks so much for your input! I never run anymore due to that reason too 😆You know what, I’ve stopped taking protein shakes lately after my workouts, so I’ll try taking it again. Can you point me to a good resource to what you suggested if you have any? I’ll start Googling too.

That’s amazing!
