health & wellness check in?

I think we used to have a health & wellness check-in.  Anyone interested in getting one started up again?  Maybe share healthy living tips and support each other to achieve our individual goals? 

(I'll admit this is somewhat selfishly motivated. I'm struggling to get the baby weight off (though baby is totally worth every pound). I'm not prioritizing getting to the gym, etc.etc.etc.  If anyone wants to join me on a quest to get stronger, healthier, more vibrant - I'd love company ;-)

    I'm in! I am struggling to jump start losing baby weight too, and I really would like to get back into my pre-TTC work clothes by Fall, if possible. I would like to find a way to focus less about the number on the scale and more about how my body looks and feels and how my clothes fit. I know my body will be different post-baby regardless of what the scale says, and I am trying very hard to cut myself some slack but also motivate myself to get back in shape. I haven't weighed myself at all since I delivered, because I didn't want to obsess. I have my postpartum appointment with my OB in 2 weeks and I know I will be weighed then. I guess I will have to assess the damage after that appointment... At any rate, I would really value a check-in to help hold me accountable and motivate me/give me ideas! :)

    "Things separate from their stories have no meaning. They are only shapes. Of a certain size and color. A certain weight. When their meaning has become lost to us they no longer have even a name. The story on the other hand can never be lost from its place in the world for it is that place.” ― Cormac McCarthy, The Crossing
