Ever had those days when you hit the gym but feel like you left your strength somewhere else? Today was one of those days for me. The weights seemed heavier, and I felt like I was dragging myself through the routine. Why? Simply put, I didn’t fuel up properly the day before, and my body was making sure I felt it.
Rewind to before my pregnancy when I ventured to a supplement store and was guided through the selection of pre-workout and protein powder. A twist in fate occurred when a week later, I found out about the miracle growing within me.
Fast forward to the present, and I’m left contemplating the unopened containers of supplements. My major hesitation? Uncertainty looms around the potential effects of these products while nursing. It’s a balancing act between optimizing my workouts and safeguarding my nursing journey, and it’s a decision I’m pondering with caution.

I bought this the day before I found out I was pregnant!
Moreover, considering personal training certification from CanFitPro has been dancing around my mind. The potential to extend my knowledge and share it in a meaningful way excites me, but that’s a journey for another day.
As I sit here, analyzing my choices in supplementation, I’m also prepping for a late-night run. The clock might indicate 7:30 pm, but thanks to the recent time change, it feels considerably later. The streets may have dimmed, but my spirit for the run is brightly lit.
