Enjoying the “fruits” of my “labor” 🍉🤰🏽🐣

How is it September?! At the start of the year I had so many goals I wanted to accomplish, but I comically overestimated how much I could get done with a baby 😅. But that’s okay! We adapt the plan as we learn new information.

That being said, there are still 4 months left in the year. That’s a lot of time to make a dent in some goals—No reason to write off the rest of the year and “wait until January” like most people do. The way I see it, the time is going to pass either way so might as well make it count!

If one of your goals is getting in shape, go watch my stories 👀. There’s so much you can accomplish in 4 months, and I shared some examples in there of what’s possible.

Anyway, here’s a little Labor Day / end-of-summer life dump ☀️🫶🏾

You love and appreciate your body for all that it’s done… But also just want to feel like yourself again when you look in the mirror.

The answer is NOT to eat as little as possible, jump back into your old workouts, or shame yourself to “bounce back.”

You need a plan built for your body and your life NOW.

Inside BBR l Nutrition & Fitness Coaching, we personalize your training, nutrition and coaching around YOU — so you can get strong and feel confident again without putting your life on hold.

Getting in shape after a baby is different: You may need a LOT more food while breastfeeding. Your workouts might need to be shorter. Your core may need rebuilding. And your schedule probably looks VERY different than it did before baby.

In BBR’s postpartum coaching, you’ll get:
✨ A coach specialized in women’s health to help you through each season of postpartum
✨ Customized, postpartum-safe workouts written by a pre and post-natal trainer to build muscle and strength
✨ Targeted diastasis recti, core, and pelvic floor exercises to reduce “mom pooch” and create a stable foundation
✨ Personalized nutrition guidance for your goals, including nutrition support if breastfeeding
✨ Weekly 1:1 check-ins + text access to your coach

I’m living this season myself, and it’s made me appreciate the BBR approach more than ever. (Shoutout to my coach Whitney!)

If you’re ready to feel strong, confident and like YOU again, we’re ready to help.

DM COACHING and I’ll send you the details.

Earlier today, I was driving to the gym when I got into a HUGE car accident. Thankfully, I’m totally okay — all I got was a few little bruises 🙏. I was sitting at a red light minding my own business, when I looked in the rear view mirror and saw a car HURTLING down the road behind me. Before I could even blink, I heard a huge “bang” and the car had smashed into me from behind. My airbags deployed, there was smoke everywhere, and the impact made my car also crash into the car in front of me.

The lady who rear ended me said her brakes were faulty and she just “couldn’t stop.”

No one else was in the car except me. Thank God 🙏. And everyone in the other vehicles were also okay.

I saw my life flash between my eyes and it was so so scary. I’m not ready to leave yet. I have so much more I want to do, including see my little baby grow up 🥺.

Just a reminder of how precious each day is, and how LITTLE control we really have on our lives.

Please please please — get off your phones. Don’t text and drive. Ask yourself, “is this text message worth my life?” Because that’s what you’re risking. And for the love of God don’t drink and drive or let your friends do so either. (To clarify, the lady who rear ended me was sober, and I have no idea if she was texting — I’m just saying in general not to do this as it greatly increases your risk).

And get your cars inspected regularly so you’re not the one with “faulty brakes” please 🙏

I’m not super religious, but I do believe in God, fate, and destiny. I’m so so grateful that today was not “the day” and that I have a little more precious time here ❤️

And of course, my Desi mom thinks this happened because someone put the evil eye on me — so she’s coming over to remove it later today 😅🧿🙏

3 months down! There have been so many times I felt like I wasn’t making ANY progress these last few months, but shoutout to my BBR coach Whitney who encouraged me to stay patient, stay on top of tracking my food, and take progress pics regularly.

My body still feels different than before. But my goal isn’t to “bounce back,” it’s to create the best version of me body NOW, after all it went through to create life.

Please remember we are all on our own timelines with unique circumstances. I’m not sharing my progress for others to compare, but rather to show women what’s possible when you choose a sustainable approach vs crash dieting.

Devika spends her days hunched over patients’, on her feet for 8+ hours, neck screaming by the time she gets home to her 3 kids.

She used to train hard. She was active all through her first pregnancy back in 2020. But baby #2, then baby #3, then a body that stopped feeling like hers, and the version of her that used to move every day just quietly disappeared.

She’s 5’2”, vegetarian, and fills up on rice and dal before she ever hits her protein target. Add diastasis recti from her third pregnancy and a schedule with zero room to “figure it out,” and starting over felt impossible.

Now she’s 12+ lbs down. Back in a size she hasn’t worn since 2019. Wearing clothes that have sat in her closet for 7 years.

And she’s only a little over halfway done.

We’re just past the midpoint of her BBR program. After the 6 month mark is when REAL consistency starts to take hold.

This is what happens when a plan is built around a dentist’s schedule, a vegetarian plate, and a body that’s already carried 3 pregnancies.

Her next update is going to hit different. Follow along to watch the rest of her journey, and if you’re ready to start yours, the link’s in my bio. 🤍
