Patience and consistency! It will come!

When I used to travel to small towns, I was always so excited to check out all the cool pubs and restaurants. What the menu looked like, what kind of cocktails were on the menu and what I was going to drink.

My life has changed so much over the last year that what I look forward to now is what gym I’m going to work out in and the people that I’m gonna meet in the gym and the experience that I had in that gym.

Yesterday I was going to pick something up on marketplace and I went to the wrong address and it led me to a different town 40 minutes away from where I thought I was going. It led me to a town called Wallaceburg in Ontario. I was at the wrong address so I couldn’t pick up what I wanted to pick up, and I was like OK well, I guess I’ll look to see if there’s a gym in this town since I’m 40 minutes away from the gym I was gonna go to. I walked into southside fitness was and I was so pleasantly surprised. What a gem of a gym I have ever walked into for like a small town. It had everything I needed plus more and everyone was so friendly in the gym. I had such a good workout. I’m actually going back there today and driving 40 minutes so that I can go back to this gym because I had such a great experience.

Instead of wanting to try out every cocktail on the menu, I’m now most excited about trying out every machine in the gym.

It’s crazy how life just changes when you find purpose and a passion. It’s so awesome. I’m looking forward to a great workout today there.

The feelings are real and the body is a bit tired! Some days I feel like superwoman, and some I feel like lifting a finger takes a lot of work!

However, the one thing that CANNOT be overlooked, is that no matter how tired I get, I just want to keep moving forward, I want you to keep getting stronger and keep pushing through those road blocks.

Our minds play all these tricks on us and test us all the time. Some days it tells you can’t do it, but most days, you push through that gibberish cause it speaks non sense and it’s not the truth!

We are in control, you are in control of your own thoughts, decisions and therefore you need to hold yourself accountable for your decisions!!

If you want something bad enough, no one or nothing is gonna stop you from achieving it!

1110pm and just finished my workout. I could have called it a night- I have to be up for work in 5 hours, OR I can keep my commitment to myself to work hard, keep fit, be healthy and get results. Excuses are way too easy. Challenge yourself people!

➡️Call me CRAZY! But I never miss a chance of taking pictures of my kids while they are fast asleep!
WHY?
Because when our kids are fast asleep I believe we are capturing the peaceful innocence of our little ones as they dream away, cocooned in slumber and looking so sweet and pure. There’s something deeply heartwarming about seeing them so serene and content, reminding us of the preciousness of these fleeting moments and the boundless love we feel for them.
It reminds me that these moments won’t last forever.
If I have a keep sake of every little moment that I think I may not remember one day, if my mind starts to fail, or my memory becomes lusive, I have the beautiful memories of my two beautiful sleeping children ,

You are ready for this…. Whatever it is! The voice whispering to you in the background telling you are not good enough, you will never mount to anything, you are who you are is an irrelevant state of existence. “But amidst those whispers, remember this: You hold the power to redefine your narrative. You are resilient, capable, and deserving. Embrace your journey, for in each challenge lies an opportunity for growth. Your worth is immeasurable, your potential boundless. Silence those doubts with the roar of your achievements. Stand tall, believe in yourself, and prove that every step, no matter how small, is a stride toward greatness. You are more than enough, and your journey is uniquely significant.”

I know this seems blahhhhh- and before I would say it was blahhhh! But….when I am looking to fuel my body to move the way I need it to move, gain strength that I have never had before, and build muscle to change my body to where it needs to be in 5 months, it’s super important you fuel your body with the right foods! I eat six times a day sometimes and most of my meals look like this. I season it with yummy spices that speed up my metabolism(cayenne pepper, ginger, cinnamon), food doesn’t need to taste blah! What’s your goals? What will make your body feel better, work better and feel healthier? You don’t need to eat like this, but it’s a start! How do you get your mindset ready to win it and own it?? ,

Can you believe it’s 12 degrees in the middle of December! Our family in one week has gone through pink eyes, cough and colds, surviving off 3 hrs of sleep each night while still going to work for ten hours a day! Days like this when you walk out your back door and be grateful for the warmer weather, your handsome son who isn’t so sick anymore, and the crisp smell of air drifting off the water! Life is good- but you have to choose to see the things that the bad sometimes overcome. We are alive, we can move, we can feel, we can love and we can breathe. Take in everything you have, and the little things that seem bad, really are little!

This morning I chose to wake up and not worry about the successes I didn’t feel I had or the money in my account that didn’t magically appear when I woke up. I chose to be GRATEFUL instead for moments like these that I get to spend with my son instead of stresses about the things that won’t matter when I’m not here anymore. What’s important to you? What I use to think was important and made me whole has completely changed over the last 6 months. What I thought made me successful actually made me sick, stressed and unhappy. Those thoughts are not welcome anymore! “I am” is now my present, not “I was.” Wake up and choose who you are! You don’t need to choose who you were!
