Here’s to all of the amazing, beautiful women in my life. These pictures are only a snapshot of the women in my life who continue to help me on this journey of life. So grateful for all of the beautiful şúşngalum

This past summer was a busy one. One that stepped me out of my comfort zone. I performed in my very first musical! I have no formal acting and dancing training, but I gave it my all and had fun. I’m doing what I can to teach my own children to step out of their comfort zones and what better way to teach than to lead by example?!

Your presence is medicine
Your words are medicine.
Your spirit is medicine.
You are medicine, treat yourself as such.

45 days. Just 45 days of building upon good habits. 45 days of intentionally moving my body, whether that was CrossFit, Yoga or walking 10 miles while at Disneyland. 45 days of taking my supplements everyday and making sure I drank 103oz of water. I also upped my protein intake to match my physical output. I personally don’t see a huge difference in the before and after photos, but I definitely feel a difference in how my clothes fit. Here’s to closing out 2021 with these awesome habits I have built.

Want a bikini body? Put a bikini on it.

I’ll be honest, when I first started my fitness/self-love journey, I never would have worn a bikini. As I became more confident in my skin and loving my body for what she can do and not what she looks like, I became more comfortable with wearing a bikini. It may feel like you will never wear a bikini, but as you continue on in your journey, you may be surprised by how confident and comfortable you become in your skin.

Be coachable

Be teachable

In order to grow inside and outside of the gym you have to let go of your ego, let go of being the victim. Be willing to change your mindset of “why me” to “what is this teaching me.” Stop trying to control everything. It’s okay to let go and see where Creator takes you. Be willing learn and change. Be coachable, be teachable. You might be amazed at where you’ll end up.

21.2 is in the books. I’m doing The Open for fun. I didn’t sign up but I’m still doing the workouts. I did this workout back in 2017. I don’t remember how far I got in ‘17 but what I do remember is that I did the scale weight of a 20lb. dumbbell. This year I got 4 of the 50 dumbbell snatches and I used a 30lb dumbbell. I may not have finished within the time cap, but I’m proud for how much stronger I’ve gotten since 2017. Now time to recover and take care of my bicep tendinitis until 21.3.
