This is 41!

When i turned 40 last year, I was shocked at how I let my fitness drop and health go by the way side.

1 year later, I crushed the Spartan race, can do more pull ups than I ever have been able to, and feel incredibly.

Here is to aging STRONGER

I think women in their 40s have been sold enough fitness bu****it. 😂

You don’t need to fear carbs.
You don’t need to earn your food with cardio.
You don’t need a cortisol cocktail.
And for the love of muscle mass, PLEASE stop being afraid of lifting heavy.

The stuff that actually works is painfully unsexy:

Lift weights.
Eat enough protein.
Walk.
Sleep.
Eat mostly good food.
Do it consistently.

And when you go out for dinner, travel, have a few drinks, miss a workout or generally have a damn life?

You don’t start over Monday.

You just get back to it.

That’s it. That’s the secret.
Strong. Not skinny. No bu****it required.

👇 Now I want to hear yours: What piece of fitness advice are YOU officially done believing? Drop it in the comments. I have a feeling this comment section could get spicy. 😂🌶️

The woman on the left didn’t need another diet. She needed to start taking care of herself again.

There was no single dramatic moment where everything went wrong.

My dad got sick. We sadly lost him. I moved provinces. I struggled with the adjustment. Life got heavy, and taking care of myself slowly moved further and further down the list.

Until last October when I basically decided:

Enough. I want me back.

And since then?

Over 70 lbs gone.

But more importantly, I feel strong again. I feel capable again. And I'm currently preparing to step on a bodybuilding stage at 40+ because apparently this is what we're doing now.

And I did NOT do it perfectly.

I went out. I travelled. I ate pasta in Italy. I had days where the plan went sideways.

I just stopped letting one off-plan choice turn into giving up.

That's the lesson I want you to take from these pictures.

Life will happen.

Grief happens.
Moves happen.
Vacations happen.
Stress happens.
Pasta DEFINITELY happens.

Consistency isn't never getting knocked off track.
It's getting back on track without turning it into a whole damn identity crisis.

If you're sitting there thinking, “Okay... I need to get my s**t together too,” comment ME.

Let's start there. ❤️

Strong, not skinny. Always.

Girl to girl: strength training isn’t a fitness trend. It’s an investment in your future body.

Women generally reach peak bone mass around age 30. After that, we gradually begin losing bone — and that loss can accelerate significantly during and after menopause.

Know one of the best tools we have to fight back?

LIFTING. WEIGHTS.

Resistance training puts stress on your bones in a GOOD way, helping stimulate them to maintain and build strength. It also helps preserve the muscle, balance and physical capacity we need as we age.

So when I say strength training should be non-negotiable for women, I’m not talking about chasing a smaller body.

I’m talking about building a body that is strong, capable and resilient for decades to come.

Lift for your muscles. Lift for your bones. Lift for the 70, 80 and 90-year-old version of you.

Strong. Not skinny. Always. 🔥
