Hello, my beautiful people, and welcome back to what I really think is an extra special

edition of Hot Healthy, Never Hungry, because I am discussing my second pregnancy.

I am currently 14 weeks as I record this episode, which is funny

because that sounds early on, and it's like the beginning right of the second trimester of pregnancy.

However, I feel like I've been pregnant for so long, and I feel like, you know, I have a long way ahead

of me. So I'm just really excited now that

the cat's out of the bag. I wanted to do an episode with you guys because my energy, my mindset,

especially if you've ever listened to some of like the older episodes on the show related to

like my first trimester, my pregnancy, even postpartum stuff on here.

I really just feel different about this pregnancy.

I'm feeling a little bit different.

It's so different also knowing what to expect.

So I just wanted to have a candid episode and give you guys some updates on my first

trimester, a recap of it, and also specifically discuss some of the things I'm doing

differently this pregnancy. I not only feel different energetically going into this pregnancy,

and I'm a mom already, so it's kind of like, you know, just a different energy and a very

different lifestyle, I'll tell you that. But I'm also just in a very different headspace when it

comes to my health and my fitness. And having focus that this is not a time where I want these really strong habits that I have to fall to the

wayside, even though pregnancy can be very challenging. I'm familiar with it. I don't want to set

unrealistic standards for any woman, especially who is on her own pregnancy journey right now,

coming from her fitness journey before this. But I just wanted to have a candid episode with you guys. And I feel like if you are trying to conceive, you actively are pregnant finding this episode or maybe you're postpartum and you're kind of thinking like, gosh, like, you know, I feel like I didn't know as much as I know now going into pregnancy. Or maybe you're just looking for a fun little girl talk episode. I feel like this is going to really, really resonate with you. Before you begin, I want to give a shout out to Chanel ACW. She said, I can't believe this is free. Lauren's podcast has taught me so much. I've lost 10 pounds and I'm still going by listening to this podcast and using Lauren's healthy weight loss strategies.

I've listened to almost every single episode while wedding preparing, and I'm so thankful to have learned so much by her without even paying a dime for this valuable knowledge.
