I love a good long deadlift rest period.

35 weeks and killing it! I'm so proud of the momma! She has worked so hard!

Starting my day off with a good hard workout makes me smile. If it doesn't for you, keep doing it until it does. Consistency will payoff. Stick with your goals and if your workout doesn't make you smile the fact that you were consistent should.

Week is going well. I have been busier than expected, so not really feeling the stress relief I was hoping for. However, we did go on a great family bike ride last night and the views brought so much needed calm.

Workout like you have everything to GAIN 🚫 not loose. I love this concept. So many people focus on loosing weight, loosing what they don't like about themselves, but there are so many more benefits that our bodies gain from strength training. Strength training can contribute to better sleep, better hormone balance, correcting blood sugar, strengthening bones, and even fighting cancer!

The best part of my job is getting to work with amazing women everyday. While it is my job to inspire them, they are constantly inspiring me. Everyday I am impressed with the graceful way they navigate the challenges of balancing work, motherhood, and the ups and downs of life.

I then top it with Trader Joe's Green Goddess Dressing. It goes well with everything and really ties it together to make delicious nutritious lunch.

Been working hard installing new mats and equipment. I'm loving the changes!
