Living a Life Fueled by Healthy Food and Fitness
My name is Julie and I am a full-time blogger, new mama, fitness enthusiast (certified personal trainer and group exercise instructor) and food fanatic (mostly healthy... but also not-so-healthy) living in North Carolina with my husband, dog and baby boy. Thank you for visiting Peanut Butter Fingers! I hope you enjoy little glimpses into my life and have fun trying the sweaty workouts I frequently share and making some of my favorite recipes along the way!

Congrats to you 3! 🙂 I’m pregnant with my first baby right now as well and I’m due August 22nd! I would LOVE you to post some workouts as you go through them with the pregnancy! I’ve been doing great with keeping up with my normal(ish) routine so far just reduced my amount of running because I’ve found it was giving me headaches. I’ve been stair-climbing and doing incline walking on the treadmill along with weight training. But some workouts that are pregnancy focused would be amazing!
Congrats again! It’s such an awesome magical time 🙂
Julie says
I’ve almost completely stopped running, too, because of some odd pain “down there” — my doctor said it’s totally normal and to just stick to exercise that feels good! I’ll definitely share more workouts!
Janet says
Congratulations!! That’s my birthdate! a fellow leo!

Skigirl0891 says
Yaaaay!! Congrats!! I’m turning 34 weeks with these twins so I’d love to help you with any questions! First time mommas, woot woot!! Lets see, 17 weeks I barely had a bump (& that’s w/ twins) and I was dying from the insane fatigue I didn’t know was possible for someone as healthy & athletic as I was…& I wanted to tell but was too scared, soo kudos to you! Make sure you get iron! While I had 2, it’s still common to be anemic early on. Xoxo ~Christina
