Evolving Fit Mom

That smile says it all. Looking forward to getting back to one of my favorite places to unwind, recharge and enjoy the peace that only nature can bring.

It was already 28°C this morning when he was out cleaning the pool. Now we're ready to relax, float and enjoy our little backyard oasis.

Trying to make the most of these beautiful summer days☀️

A little grace, a little grit and just enough wild to keep life interesting.

Not your average Tuesday 🤎

He's not just a husband he's my personal bodyguard.

My man would burn the world down to keep me safe. I once was scared, timid and lacked confidence to protect myself. This man not only protects me but taught me how to protect myself with confidence.

In the first picture, I was doing everything I could to not look intoxicated. Who was I fooling?

It feels like a lifetime ago, yet not that long ago, I was spending more time numbing my pain and trying to "make myself feel better" than I was living life sober. I truly believed I'd never get off that self-destructive, never-ending roller coaster.

In the second set of pictures, there I am looking like I have it all together, wearing my favorite red pants. The truth is, I still don't have it all figured out, but I'm definitely not the girl holding that vodka milkshake. I still remember how easily those went down, but I've traded them in for cucumber water and it's one of the best decisions I've ever made.

Coming off recreational drugs and prescription medication took time, and it was one of the hardest things I've ever been through. But I did it.

Some people might think I exercise too much but the truth is working out helped save me. Choosing a healthier lifestyle helped save me. Did I have to face some demons head on with a clear and sober mind? Absolutely. But I didn't do it alone I had help.

I'm not saying recovery is easy and I'm definitely not saying it's a straight path. What I am saying is that it's worth every bit of the work the pain and the withdrawals.

I used to get upset when people told me that I was the only one who could make the changes. When they told me recovery was possible, I remember thinking, "What do they know?"

Now I know they were right.

If you're in that place where you think change isn't possible, please don't give up. Keep going. One day you'll look back and realize you made it farther than you ever thought you could.

There is hope.

My best decision in life was choosing you as my forever plus one 🤍

I'm at that place in life where I don't have all the answers but I'm still moving forward. Grateful for how far I've come and excited to see what the next few years will bring.

What a beautiful day celebrating our niece's wedding on Saturday. ❤️

Watching her marry the love of her life was so special and I couldn't be prouder to be her aunt. We were so grateful to be part of such a wonderful day filled with love, laughter, and happy memories. Wishing the newlyweds a lifetime of happiness together.

Father's Day can be a beautiful day for many but for others it can be difficult.

Today I'm thinking of those who have lost their father, those who never had the chance to know their father, those who are missing a father figure, and those who have had to make the painful decision to step away from a relationship that was unhealthy or harmful. Some children were forced to be more mature than the adults in their lives and I know how difficult that can be.

I'm thinking of those carrying grief, complicated emotions, unanswered questions, or memories that are both comforting and painful.

Not everyone's Father's Day looks the same and that's okay. Whether you're celebrating, remembering, grieving, healing, or simply trying to get through the day your feelings are valid. Sending love and compassion to anyone who finds today a little heavier than most. ❤️

Happy Father's Day to all the dads who show up with love, guidance, and support, and gentle thoughts for those who are missing that today.
