Memorable Quotes:

"Eating for two could almost be like rephrased as nourishing for two."

"Your fitness goals when you're pregnant are very different than someone who's not pregnant. But it's so important to not neglect nutrition and not neglect nourishing your body and recovery while pregnant just because you are pregnant."

"If you're on any type of fitness journey, don't beat yourself up about how you look one on one day of the week, because it changes so much depending on so many things."
