Happy almost Friday!  

So I wanted to answer a few questions that you guys have asked me.. it is mostly about macros and what not.

With breastfeeding and losing weight, I didn’t necessarily focus so much on losing weight the first couple months of his life.  I ate nice clean and whole foods with lots of nutrients.  No food dyes, no artificial flavors and no fast food. REAL food.

I didn’t count macros until he was about 2 months–ish.  BUT at the time I wanted to lose weight, but of course, wanted to do it my normal healthy way.   I was still breastfeeding at the time, so I set a goal every day on Fitness Pal, which by the way is where I count my macros.  

Anyways, I would eat around 2,000-2,500 calories a day… it could’ve been more, because I just listened to my body, and I DID NOT limit myself and cut myself off while nursing.

I ate foods rich in nutrients and ate when I was hungry.  

So, a lot have been asking what my percentage is on my macros everyday.   I am not a huge stickler on counting them, but I do try and hit around the same number everyday.  

So right now, I eat around 1,700-1,800 calories a day.  Percentage of carbs is 35%, fat is 30% and protein is 35%. 

Now, this is what my body personally needs right now, so it really differs from person to person.  It really depends on what your goal is. 

I don’t want to lose weight, I am just maintaining a healthy weight, and doing it for my overall health.  And to me I feel SO much better when I am eating clean. My overall energy levels are up, my mood, and my strength. 

It is so important to give our bodies what it needs to live a good life.  If you’re feeling sluggish, tired, grumpy, sick, bloated, bad skin, headaches all of that jazz.. really check what you’re putting in your body.  

You really are what you eat.  Instead of taking pills, and using all these special creams for your face… just look at your diet and go from there before taking other measures.

But please please feel free to email me any time about your personal goals, or really just anything, or even to say hi, and we can chat!  I LOVE to hear from you guys, and I love more than anything to be here for you, and also love learning from you too.

The BEST way to chat with me is through email at lovebylynn@gmail.com.

OK, so the boots though.  MY FAV right now.  They have basically been glued to my body.  If you’re looking for a  perfect pair of basic black over the knee boots, these Steve Madden ones are a must.

Anyways, you guys have a great day, and I will chat with you later.

BODYSUIT / COAT (LOVE HERE

JEANS / BAG  / SHOES (ALSO LOVE)

 Love this color combo.  So classic. 

I love throwing all my staples together, because you can never go wrong with staples.

When it doubt, throw on some black jeans, simple tee, or bodysuit, with a cute leather jacket, or peacoat this season.  

To add a little sass to it.  Add a chunky scarf, like THIS ONE.

I highly recommend these booties, and jeans for this season.  You can wear them with just about every outfit, and they’re so worth investing in.

The Chelsea boot from Marc Fisher, I wore in this post HERE, in grey, but I attached the one in black leather.  It looks very similar to the one I am wearing in this post. 

These boots are actually from Zara, from a couple years ago.  But dang, I need that Chelsea boot in black leather!

Just to let you all know, there is only two more days left to enter the Jack and Winn giveaway on my INSTAGRAM.  Make sure to check that out!  Pretty cute little hats, for your sweet baby boy.

Have a great day!
