A little truth about losing weight and gaining it back within a year. • Truth is, I have to work hard to stay in shape. I'm not one of those girls who can eat whatever they want, and I get hit hard with weight if I'm not careful about my diet. Luckily for me, I'm not picky at all. I love healthy food, but unlucky for me... I'm not picky at all. I also love unhealthy food a lot. • Ice cream and I are in a committed relationship. 🍦 • I'm still happy in my skin. Gaining my weight back was slow, so I don't feel different, but my confidence isn't there as much these days. I feel confident when I take good care of my body. I haven't been very good to my body these past few months while I've been traveling and continuously sitting while editing session after session, so this week I got back on the horse. And GUYS it feels amazing. • After getting back into the swing of things and working out I realized there are a lot of things I'd do differently if I could go back a few months, so if you're on the journey of a healthier lifestyle, hopefully, these things help you too. • ▫️I. I wish I made a better habit out of meal prepping even when I wasn't working out. I'm talking every week. If I don't have prepared food in the fridge, I go out and buy food or make the most accessible thing because I'm so busy. We can all relate to this one, right?! 🍽 • ▫️II. I wish I purchased another Fitbit when mine broke. Guessing how active I am throughout the day is hard to gage (especially when you're trveling), and I did well knowing how much I was moving throughout the day. I also really enjoyed competing with my friends to be the most active! Especially friends that live far away that I couldn't ever workout with. Pushing one another was so good for me. • ▫️III. I wish I stuck to my weird little tricks to stay healthy that I created over the course of losing weight last year like eating all my meals on a small plate, filling up my water bottle four times a day, having veggies with every meal, etc. • ▫️IV. Lastly, I wish I didn't eat badly with my friends. Cheating sometimes turned into cheating all the time. • What are some tricks and tips you use to stay healthy and active?
Am I the only one thinking ”my dad better react like this.”😍 • He's not the only one who had to pick his jaw up after seeing Abby. She was STUNNING. Abby’s Father daughter first look may or may not have been one of my favorites EVER. • Comment below to show this daddy-daughter first look some love 🖤 #nataliejaynebrides
It's my last day in Hawaii, and while I'm so sad, I'm super excited to get home for longer than two days for the first time in nearly six weeks. Then I'll be traveling more because apparently, that's my life now. • What do you do to get your sleep schedule back on track after tons of travel? I've been in and out of like nine time zones and my body hates me right now. • #nataliejaynephotography #nataliejaynebrides #nataliejaynecouples
Five years ago I watched this girl get married, one year ago I captured her anniversary photos her in Hawaii alongside a super cute beach mini with her husband Eric, and now I photographed her maternity photos. • I'm not crying, you are. 😭 • Grateful for this beautiful momma to be and her husband Eric for feeding me all week and letting me kick back at their home. Even though I usually don’t offer maternity, I always am beyond honored to photograph sweet friends, so I, of course, made the exception. • So excited to watch Morgan bloom into a mother soon. ☀️ #nataliejaynephotography • Double tap to give this sweet mamma some lovin’
Emily’s radiant smile gives me C H I L L S. Ugh, these two rolling around in the sand on a beach in Hawaii is what my dreams are made of. ☀️ • So grateful for these two having fun with me this week and trusting my vision aka having them barrel roll in the waves 🌊 • Anyone else suddenly getting The Notebook vibes from these two? • #nataliejaynephotography #nataliejaynecouples
