Just exploring my backyard

Just trying to be someone’s trophy wife

Even if it means it’s a participation trophy

To the ladies that felt with my s**t for years and still stand by me even countries apart.

Gotta have matching nails when you’re on “vacation”

It’s those micro adjustments, last minute thoughts before the set that define the moment.

Move with intention

Move with control

Move to increase resiliency

I was asked how I felt being in the position of being a fitness professional and knowing that I don’t look how I want.

How did they know I didn’t like how I looked? Nothing prompted this question but it was still asked.

Do I enjoy the way I look?

No.

But after being diagnosed with schizoid personality disorder on top of depression/anxiety and adding on an additional medication. I gained so much weight. I have new stretch marks, a softer belly, and inches added everywhere. Being a fitness professional, it’s one of the few professions that if you don’t look a certain way then your abilities are questioned.

I am sane

I am stronger

I am resilient

Here we go!!

Will be off grid for the next couple of months. Let me know if you want my mailing or email address!

Hope this new year brings your health, wealth, and happiness!

Stay resilient

Being back with family means stealing your sisters clothes. Will miss these girls more than anything plus

📣 unpopular opinion alert!!!

So here is my PSA for those fitness influencers

I have a lot of pet peeves when it comes to the fitness industry and those that want to be an “influencer”.

Stop trying to put two different exercises together for the sake of looking cool. Fitness is cool but it also isn’t very ✨showy✨

Compound movements are exercises involving two or more joints. Such as lunges, squats, bench press.

Since joint exercises are bicep curls, tricep extensions and leg extensions.

No need to put a bicep curl with a lunge. You will be able to perform more weight/ reps doing those movements separately. Here’s why:
Lower body is more likely stronger than the upper body, why use an upper body weight for a lower body dominant exercise?

And for my people following those influencers: ask questions, what is the purpose of this exercise?

How it it benefiting me?

Will this exercise get me closer to my goals?

Rant over

I heard last night on a podcast that captions make or break posts.
