![F/32/5’8” [207 > 177 = 30 lbs] (8 years) Total body and lifestyle recomp](https://preview.redd.it/3pic8tyiab2h1.jpeg?auto=webp&s=915efabc340f56d7fb9b6c505bbe5e780ddc75b7)
I got really unhealthy after college graduation and my highest weight was 207 when I was 24. I’ve had my ups and downs with weight loss, but incorporating strength training has been the single most rewarding thing over the years.
My husband (36M) and I (32F) are happily child free and genuinely living our best lives. Throughout my 20s, I felt very much on a similar trajectory as all of my peers, finishing school, starting careers, dating, getting married, buying houses, etc. Apart from one friend, all of my close friends still didn’t have kids in our late 20s. Now, one by one, everyone is getting pregnant and while I’m SO happy for them I also can’t help but mourn that our lives are about to change SO much.
I know friendship doesn’t require everyone to be on the same path but I feel sort of isolated (apart from my husband) in my choice to be child free. I’m at a phase where I want to expand my friendship circle and it’s also sort of intimidating to branch out from befriending people who are so similar to me, odds are that my most compatible friends likely have/want kids.
I just turned 32 and while I think I look pretty good, I’m not really exuding the energy that I want - I feel like I look more like “mommy” 32 vs. “mamí” 32 😅 What can I do to freshen up my look? I feel like my facial structure doesn’t really take well to a ton of makeup, but my routine is so bare bones at the moment- I use a dewy CC cream, brow gel, mascara, lip balm and a touch of blush and bronzer - the result is very natural. I’d like to enhance a bit more for my day to day look while still keeping things subtle!
