Hi Everyone, I am new to the board and introduced myself over in the 'introduction' section. Looking forward to hold myself accountable and to share my vegan eats along with my training on my blog here. I am 41, married, mother of 3 and also a personal trainer, fitness instructor and online nutrition coach.

*whistles* You are 41?? Great job maintaining your figure after having kids. I hear it's pretty tough!

[Brianna]

Thanks everyone! Yes, it was challenging post babies, but I think the secret for me was that I worked out until the end of all of my 3 pregnancies. I was blessed to have uncomplicated pregnancies and really tried to eat for 1 and a baby, not 2 people. I also jumped back in quickly w/ short at home workouts.

OMG you look amazing. A GREAT inspiring example of the benefits of healthy eating and physical exercise How long have you been vegan BTW?

[Brianna]

Thank you! I have always eaten healthy and worked out, however I slowly evolved into veganism. Years ago I gave up meat, then eventually chicken, a few years later soy, then 2 years ago dairy, 8 months ago fish and eggs.. I have been vegan for about 6 months. I am really loving this eating style! How about you?

[Brianna]

Lol, yes my hands are horrible, i think from washing all my produce!
Thanks for the warm welcome again, everyone. Hoping to journal more regular soon, have been busy w/ kids and my training business.

Your hands do NOT look horrible. You should try working in building maintenance and then tell me you had horrible hands
