Things that are taken advantage of can be taken away. Your health, your relationships, your motivation. Be grateful and don't give up❣️ Need someone to believe in you? Send me a message, we can keep each other accountable!!

Other people may seem to have it easier than you.
Lose weight faster
Get a job easier
Earn a promotion before you
Turn down food and not bat an eye
Stay on top of laundry
Have an attentive spouse
Get over it and focus on your goals. This may sound harsh, but we only experience stress and anxiety when we compare ourselves to other things or other people. Think about it. Any time you've felt anxiousness bubble up, it's generally caused by someone else's words/actions or your perception that you didn't do enough.
Lose the comparison and stay true to the person on the inside. Mindset is everything, not abs or flashy cars and vacations.❤️✌️

It's always fascinating the number of people that keep tabs on you. I've been asked if I'll ever compete again. Told that I look more feminine and they like less muscles. Asked what my goals are now. Y'all are wild!😅
I honestly love my body. I've maintained my physique (and weight) for about 2.5 years give or take about 5-7lbs. That's NORMAL!
No trainer or athlete is at peak performance 24/7.
Admittedly, despite instructing exercise class 4x a week, I have not lifted super heavy and have been laser focused on opening our business. But I'll tell you who our #1 members will be next month, Rachel and I!
My body will change again; leaner, stronger, healthier. My legs will always overpower the rest of my body. It is what it is. Thunder thighs for life.😂🤪
Don't get so caught up in comparison to others or even what you used to be that you don't appreciate just what your body is capable of now. But if you need a good leg/glute workout...come find me at the power rack.😘 I don't have an agenda or goal, I'm just going to help everyone else get there, cause I already know I can. Have a good weekend!🥰✌️

Ragbrai Day 2023❣️🚲 It was an honor to help on the committee to celebrate 50 years of this event. My husband has done it several times and we both have friends who have participated in parts of it this year.
It's always a challenge to meet everyone's needs (participant and community residents) but we felt like it was well coordinated and advertised in the days leading up. The entertainment was great and protein smoothies even yummier.👌
After sweating and hauling ice around to vendors, we went and sweat some more hanging part of the boxwood wall that will harness 5 large mirrors in the back of the studio. More to come this weekend when we charge ahead into the FINAL phase of the build. Stay tuned😊🙏

I have always had 2 or 3 jobs. Ever since I was a kid. Not because I had to but because I liked having a full plate.
For over 10 years, I have developed content that has been shared all over the U.S. on nutrition, training, bodybuilding, juggling parenting, entrepreneurship, and more.
Serving online and making meaningful relationships has been incredible, and I will continue, but nothing beats THIS.🥹🥰
My heart is fullest when I can see, smell, touch, and love others in person. Now I work hard so I can take a random day throughout the week and attend a church group, volunteer, road trip, or simply sit on the porch with my pups.
I no longer chase the hustle, I strive every day to live (and love) deeply, and you should too!!

Basil, oregano, cilantro, thyme, rosemary, & sage from the garden.💚
*Tip- save old seasoning shakers and put dried herbs in them to add pizzazz to your pasta, bread, or sauces. Even good steeped in tea or added to body scrubs.*

Challenge yourself. Step outside your comfort zone once in awhile and you will begin to grow exponentially.
If you told me 14 years ago I'd leave my secure healthcare job after college to run an in home daycare only to turn around and build a gym, I'd chuckle. But here we are. And I'm pretty damn proud of that. God is good.❤️

That $15-20 veggie tray from the store? Keep it!!
Refill with;
$2 bag of carrots
$1.78 celery
$2 grape tomatoes
Miscellaneous veggies from the garden.
We do this year round with fruit or veggies to make life easier when the munchies hit.😊

Life can be wonderful without being perfect.
I think too often as moms (and some dads) we strive for having the house, the kids, work, etc. all in its place all of the time.
But in reality, we may be ahead at work and slacking at home and the next day be totally present at home and unmotivated at work. Newsflash- that's NORMAL!
No two days are the same, nor will they ever be. So start doing things that bring you joy and don't sweat the small stuff. The laundry will still be on the floor tomorrow, and the kids will be back to school in a couple of months, so your fridge can last a little longer.🫶
Life's too short to get caught in the mundane and then harbor regret.❤️

Don't get so caught up worrying about the future that you forget how far you've come in the present.
We have been planning and praying over the opening of our wellness studio for 6 months. Lots of sweat and achy bodies. Lots of money and networking. Lots of people who still had no idea what we were building.
There are only a few key components left to finish, and impatience and defeat have reared her ugly head, thinking we'll never get it done. But today, as I put another coat of polyurethane on a handmade project, I was overcome with a lot of peace.
Thankful the landlord took a chance on us. Thankful the electrician fought to get us adequate power.
Thankful for a business partner who is so eager and easy to work with.
Thankful for the time freedom to work on things throughout the week.
Thankful for a handy husband who dedicates time even after a full day at work.
Thankful for community members excited and eager to get started.
We're creating something incredibly beautiful and unique where there was but concrete floors and brick walls. And that's just so cool.
We will finish this. It's just going to be on God's timeline. We promise it will be worth it.❤️

Anybody else put on shorts or a bathing suit this weekend and get a little disappointed?
Girl, same.😏
Then I went to the store, bought a size up and wore them anyway. It was in the 80s!🥵 Don't shrink to fit your clothes. Buy the clothes that fit YOU!
Different lifestyle seasons call for different sizes and styles of clothing. When you're going through changes, you have to indulge in what makes you feel comfortable. I sure as heck don't fit in shorts from 6 years ago, you won't either!

I've been absolutely terrified every moment of my life, and I've never let it keep me from doing things I've wanted to do.
New sport- terrifying
Moving away from home- very scary
Face injury- depressing
Getting married- fear of the unknown
Having kids- so much societal pressure
Career change- what if I fail?
Bodybuilding competition- pushed physical limits
Unexpected loss- numbing
Starting up a business- being in the public eye
Being afraid of what might go wrong won't help it go right. It's okay to be scared. It's okay to be overwhelmed. You have to choose bravery again and again and again every day. Fear is part of being human, allow those feelings to appear but don't stay there long. Gratitude is on the other side and it's calling.😘🤳🧡

Biggest hail we've ever seen! Lots of vehicle, siding, and other miscellaneous damage.🥺🙏
