Can we talk about baby weight? But only if you want to! My friend once told me the last 5 pounds are the hardest to lose. This was pre kids and remember hearing that thinking 5 pounds is nothing, how hard can it be? Well let me tell you! I gained over 70 pounds with my first baby… and dammit she was right. Well except that for me its not the last 5 its more like 10 but who’s counting.

I won’t preach diet advice to you because I am the WORST at dieting. The second I tell myself I can’t have something, I start craving it. So I look for tricks and hacks that I can actually follow.  Also when I work out more I eat more. One trick I do is the intermittent fasting (ish). My only rule was to not eat breakfast till noon. I wasn’t strict on what time I stopped eating at night, I was just usually so tired I would fall asleep as soon as I was able to. Hence not snacking at night was easy for me.  Coffee in the morning helps me get to that noon time. I know there are rules on what you can put in your coffee, but I am telling you a dash of my “creamer” works great. What is my coffee creamer hack you ask? Premier protein shake! I just put a splash of either the chocolate, or cookies and cream (hard to find) and my newest favorite flavor is pumpkin spice!  I had such an addition to that pumpkin spice flavor while I was pregnant, my husband begged the Dunkin’ Donuts ladies to sell him the entire vat of pumpkin syrup. Yes, I am a Dunkin’ girl. I don’t think I’ve ever been able to finish a cup of Starbucks. The taste just doesn’t agree with my buds. 

I have all intentions on making a video on my “PSL dupe Hack”. Once I do I will paste it bellow. In the mean time here is the Amazon link to what I use every morning in my coffee! Side note my picky toddler thinks it’s chocolate milk (the chocolate flavor) and loves it!
