Getting “Knotty”…
![Happy Friday! I’ve noticed a lot of new faces around here (hi friends! ), so I wanted to share a few fun facts about me and this page. . I’m Heather, a 33-year-old Native Floridian , former NBA dancer and personal trainer who moved to Brooklyn, NY two and a half years ago. I met my husband through dancing with the Orlando Magic in 2007, and spent 4 seasons there. ✨ . We got married in Orlando in 2011 and then moved up to Detroit in 2012 to work for the Detroit Pistons! He was an Entertainment Manager and I was a Pistons Dancer for 2 seasons. Living in Michigan was a whole new life for me (I still miss the beach and prefer to look at ❄️ from afar), but we met some life-long friends and I retired my dancing shoes to become a full-time blogger and personal trainer. That’s when I rebranded my site to Life In Leggings, the healthy lifestyle blog you see today! . I absolutely LOVE blogging, and I truly wish that I had more time for it. I used to publish new content twice a day, and now my goal is to check in at least once a week. The reason? I’m a Studio Manager of an @orangetheory Fitness Studio and helped open the location in Jan. 2017! It’s been a challenging but extremely rewarding experience, and I absolutely love working in the fitness industry and seeing people’s lives change every day. ♀️ . After years of infertility struggles, my husband and I became parents to our miracle baby boy — Skyler in March. I just started going back to work a few weeks ago, so I’m currently navigating (and juggling) new and working mom life with a three-month-old! It isn’t easy, but we are taking everything one day at a time. We have our good and bad days just like anyone else, but Sky’s smile and snuggles make every single challenge, sacrifice, and change in our former spontaneous and care-free NYC lifestyle one hundred percent worth it. . I’ve always been a health and fitness nut, so that has been the primary focus of my blog and this page. 🥗 You can also expect to see baby photos (... lots ), scenes in NYC, travel & daily musings sprinkled in, too! .

![I officially completed my first week back at work after Maternity Leave, and this little nugget came in to say hi to celebrate! 🧡 . I honestly didn’t know if I was going to go back to work after Skyler came into our lives. I was very open about that with my team, and I am very grateful that the company gave me the opportunity to figure out what would be best for our family during my time away. . Since Scott and I essentially work at opposite hours, we are currently trading shifts watching him, and this made it a lot easier on my heart to leave him all day. There are certainly times where it hits me [HARD] that I really miss him and I wish that my time at home with him in the evenings was longer. But, the studio is always so busy that the shifts go by with a blink of an eye, and I’m hurrying home for baby snuggles before I know it. . It’s been great seeing everyone and getting back into the swing of things, and I have to admit that working where I can also get my workouts in is more convenient than ever. ♀️ I scaled back my hours in a big way, and while it’s been an exhausting week, things are going well with an understanding that I need to leave at a certain time because ... #worklifebalance . With shifts starting as early as 5 or 6 am, I’m sure there will be days where I will feel like a zombie , but I wouldn’t trade my afternoons and evenings with Skyler at home for anything ... (including sleep?) 🤷♀️ I’m feeling very grateful for this opportunity to come back “part-time” with an amazing team to support me! . So yeah, here’s to you working moms and working dads who help them. Because it’s F A R from E A S Y. You inspire me to stay strong and continue to grow in my career! #workmomlife . . . . . #lifeinleggingsbaby #babyskylerking #threemonthsold #maternityleave #workingmom #orangetheoryfitness #orangetheoryparkslope #balance #balanceiskey #managerlife #fitnessindustry #teamnosleep #teamnosleepnyc](https://scontent.cdninstagram.com/vp/453573da2f4f40230ec3aa54979db929/5BCB4418/t51.2885-15/e35/p320x320/36085792_1793252994043553_6380749345041416192_n.jpg "I officially completed my first week back at work after Maternity Leave, and this little nugget came in to say hi to celebrate! 🧡 .
