Challenges and changes sometimes can feel like they’re breaking you. However, in truth, they are molding you into the person you are supposed to be.

Slowly but surely!!!

I DID IT! 5k ✅

Believe me when I tell you, I am NOT a runner. Cardio has always been my worst enemy. But walks and runs have saved me the last few months. When I was feeling depressed - I went for a walk. When I was needing to blow off some steam - I ran. I continued doing this not to please anyone, but to better myself!

My grams lake puts on a 5k every year and the last time I ran this race was 3 years ago. I think how different my life was and how different I was 3 years ago. This 5k represented growth, stepping out of my comfort zone, and being proud of myself for setting goals and accomplishing them.

It’s okay to cheer yourself on too, don’t forget that 👏🏻👏🏻

SWIPE to see the deets on todays killer leg day 👉🏼🔥🤌🏻

My legs are feeling it after this one!! Go try it out and let me know if you do!

POV: this is the first vacation you’ve taken where you are guilt-free, confident, and sincerely enjoying your own company 🤌🏻👏🏻

I ran when it worked, I didn’t when I was busy. I ate healthy when there was an option to, I didn’t when I wanted to satisfy my cravings. I am feeling guilt-free, trusting my progress won’t be lost in a matter of days, and LOVING my body & my own presence.

CHEERS to hotgirlsummer babes❣️

WAYS TO GET OUT OF YOUR OWN HEAD 🫧

• Remove yourself from the environment that is triggering your negative thoughts

• Set a timer for how long you’re allowed to overthink / get in your own head and leave it after that

• Connect with others, you are not alone!!

• Take in the beauty around you, find things to be thankful for

• EXERCISE 👏🏻👏🏻

• Find ways to be creative

• Realize you are not your thoughts 💭

You are so much stronger thank you think! 💪🏻

As I should 🤪

Being so committed to becoming my best self has been one of the greatest things I’ve done for me 💙

Know your worth and stay consistent. The progress will come. You will start to feel better. You will get through this. Do it for you. Because you deserve it.

A FIRE LEG DAY COMIN AT YAAA 🔥🔥
