I asked myself one simple question - what if I ended pregnancy stronger than I started? 

Think about that.

What if you ENDED pregnancy stronger than you started?

I’m not saying you have to. I’m not saying I will even come close. But what a provocative idea. 

Women are told to be gentle, to slow down, to modify, to succumb to this idea that pregnant women are weak.

And that last bit couldn’t be further from the truth.

Pregnant women are some of the toughest women you will find. Battling the biggest mental and physical feat they will ever encounter day in and day out for 10 long months.

Sure, one day in this pregnancy I will have to slow down - by choice or by force… bed rest, limitations, fatigue, early delivery… it’s ALL a possibility.

But for right now? I’m going for it. Stepping into the gym as a CELEBRATION of what I can do. 

Not as a punishment.
Not to stay small.
But to step into the STRENGTH that is pregnancy.

And if you’re reading this saying “Britany I’m anything but strong. I’m nauseous and fatigued and can barely make dinner.”

Girl give yourself some grace. 
Workouts get cut short. 
They feel like shit.
I take 10000 breaks.
I order delivery for lunch AND dinner.
My house is a mess (but I’m still taking that nap).
But I will ALWAYS show up. 
It may be for 5 minutes but I’m moving my body today.
