Oh these mind games.. Day 1 of a program I completed 2 years ago, what a mental battle. Victory was mine for I didn't quit!

Last 5 workouts of a program I thought for sure I'd throw in the towel on. Tackling the hard, coming out on the other side stronger.. that keeps this girl coming back for more!

It was here, in the Kohls bathroom I realized I hadn't checked my outfit in a mirror before leaving home. LMBO all I needed was Cute Clothes and Confidence to tackle my day. (😁 Totally smiling under mask) Do you still smile under your mask?

Lately I've been down on myself, struggling with this body not being as strong as it was. Yet looking at this photo she is stronger because she has NOT given up the fight!

"Summer Bodies are made through the Winter" LMAO This is my 4 seasons BOD, she's fabulous 365 no matter the weather! Putting in work on her NOT to change with the seasons but to embrace each day.

I workout not to fit into others ideas of "summer bods". But for activities with my kids through every season... snowball fights, fall leaf pile dives, spring hiking, summer kayaking and everything in between.

2 weeks off during holidays, 45° temps Yup it was a tough start this morning. Attitude improved by end and that is why I push play!

Do so love when the workout ends with floor work. Gives my brain time to catch up, allowing the endorphins in, and I remember why I even pressed play. Because we are worth it and AFTER feels so good.

You define what SLAY means, it looks different for us ALL. Making time for yourself, pushing to your own limits, that define SLAYING the day in my books. Check This Mom slayed the day. How about you?

Oh Cardio day we are not besties, internally I may curse your name but I'll never let you break me! When it's done I'll always be victorious, because I showed up!

Motivation in a Cup. Sore from yesterday not ready to get moving today, half into energize & hydrate.. now that will get me moving every time!!

From THIS to THAT!

NO part of me wanted to push play, years of doing so 3-4 days a week have trained me to do so anyway. The end result improved mental attitude, calories burned and elevated energy levels. NOW we are ready for the weekend!

In the darkness we must fight harder to see the light.. it's within us all!
