Don’t devalue the moment because you haven’t arrived at the finish line!!

A couple days ago, I made a comment to my husband after spotting my front squat

“Ugh, I feel like I should be so much stronger than I am. I barely can do these”

He was amazing like always and tried to help me see how far I’ve come but that statement has been on my mind since then.

Fitness, like many other things in life, is all about the journey. There is always a chance to get stronger or develop better technique so the ‘finish line’ is always adjusting.

Since I can’t squat what weight I “think” I should be doing, doesn’t take away from all the other improvements I have made.

Because of working on those improvements, my weight on the bar is slowly increasing. (Ankle flexibility, hip mobility, lower depth, tighter core, etc).

This squat was a big moment for me and I need to remember to not devalue it just because I’m ‘not where I want to be’

What are you devaluing in your life because you haven’t reached what you feel is acceptable?

How can you appreciate the moment and all the moments leading up to now?

Happy Thanksgiving from my family to yours 🥰🦃

**TRIGGER WARNING**

🤍 We will always love you 🤍

Earlier this month, we found out our beautiful baby no longer had a heartbeat.

It has been a rough month as we navigate healing physically, mentally and emotionally

Starting a family has been a life long dream of ours. To say our excitement was palpable, is an understatement

We have been blessed with the sweetest baby that now is watching over us from above 👼🏼

♥️ We will love our little raspberry forever ♥️

One of the many things I have learned from our miscarriage experience is....

Always be kind!

We don’t always know what someone is going through or healing from

Holding the door open or offering a smile goes such a long way

Speaking kind words or letting cars in when they need to get over can be monumental

Patience and listening are invaluable

To honor our baby up in heaven, my goal has been and will continue to be:
Be a little kinder each day ♥️

Let me spread the love and kindness that has been shown to Spencer and I. How can I serve and love you?

How will you show kindness and love today?

Work so hard that when you look in the mirror, you are proud of what you see..even if you haven’t fully reached your goals yet!! 💪🏼

We need to celebrate the journey just as much, if not more, then the actual destination

Never give up! You’ll get there!

If you need help, call me. ☎️ I got you!

You Have The Power Within You

After I took my test to become a certified personal trainer.. I became extremely scared and nervous!

•Didn’t think I had what it took.
•Didn’t believe in myself.
•Didn’t trust in my training and intuition.

A mentor of mine believed in me and helped me see my own strengths

He helped me get the courage to train just one person one time

•The client learned something
•The client got stronger
•The client enjoyed our session

I had what it took, I just didn’t see it!

In fact, I’ve always had what it took I just stopped believing in me and was not living my truth.

Have you had a similar situation?

Just remember:
We all have the tools in our shed of life. We just need to get those tools out and sharpen them with our experiences. If we do, we will continue to succeed ♥️

FACT: Your brain is the number one eavesdropper!!

Wait.. what? 🤨

What you tell yourself, your brain believes!

It’s writing an ongoing script and what you tell yourself (positive or negative), it will write into its code that you will follow.

You say you are bad at names, so the next name you hear you are scripted to already forget it.

You say you are strong, smart, kind, beautiful.. that is the exact truth and your actions will follow suit.

What are you telling yourself?

What is your truth that you want to live?

You have the power to rewrite your future and there is so much beauty to behold ♥️🌺

One week ago 🥰😍♥️😘

Such an incredible night filled with love, yummy food and flower petals

Spent with my favorite people

Best part, I’m finally married to my number one 💃🏼🕺🏼

I love you Spencer!

Happy one week anniversary 🥂

Okay I’m going need you to do something for me real quick….⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Please pinch me to make sure I’m not dreaming 😍 ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Just in heaven over here with this man by my side⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I’m not crying, you’re crying! 🥲⁣
⁣
There are not enough words in my vocabulary to express my emotions. We have both worked so hard on ourselves, day in and day out, to get to where we are today. We are living proof that good things come from consistency and hard work. Spencer’s work ethic is like none I’ve seen before and it definitely motivates me to keep going, not give up and want to do more! To say he is my better half does not give him enough credit. So glad he chose me! ♥️⁣
⁣⁣
Also, swipe ➡️ to see our reaction after seeing each other for the first time 😭

So glad I finally said YES!⁣
⁣
Putting in the work on myself has helped me grow in more ways than I could have imagined ⁣
⁣
Say yes to yourself and see what can happen ♥️

I’m sure you’ve heard this before,⁣
⁣
Appearances (especially on social media) are not always as they appear! ⁣
⁣
People can get technical on photoshop apps and adjust waist size, b***y size, remove blemishes and so on..⁣
⁣
I’ve adjusted lighting, contrast, warmth, saturation and added some blur to get this picture⁣
⁣
Sure I’ve been working hard on my slow growing back muscles..⁣
But are they truly that defined?⁣
⁣
If your back muscles don’t look the same, it does not take away from the hard work you are putting into yourself⁣
⁣
It’s easy to get lost in the comparison of what you see on social media⁣
⁣
At the end of the day, remember to focus on you and do what is best for you and your growth⁣
⁣
Compare yourself from who/where you were a month ago! What has changed? ⁣
⁣
That is the true proof of growth ♥️⁣
⁣
If you need help with your growth, please reach out! I would love to help you any way I can!!

☝🏼Don’t forget!!!!⁣
⁣
Don’t forget to take care of yourself ⁣
⁣
However that looks⁣
⁣
You are a priority and it’s more than okay to treat yourself as such ♥️⁣
⁣
Go get your hair done⁣
Schedule a massage⁣
Fit in a workout ⁣
Learn something new⁣
⁣
You matter! ⁣
⁣
And when you are taking care of yourself, you will have more of you to give to other priorities ⁣
⁣
It’s time..⁣
You are more than worth it!!
