Happy two year wedding anniversary to my better half 🤍
A lifetime with you would never be enough but I’m forever grateful for each day we have! Here’s to many more Krispy Kreme runs, CrossFit workouts together, and bickering over our favorite Love is Blind couples 🤍
it’s hard not to get discouraged when I think of my fitness level only 6 months ago and how today, I can’t even do a full squat. I have to remind myself that only one month ago, I could not walk. And with that in mind, yes I certainly have so much further to go- but look how far I’ve come already.
It’s not built in a day. There’s no magic pill you can take. You get one body and one day at a time. We can do hard things 🤍

3 months post op and we’re finally moving and grooving!
Back in early December I had my third knee surgery. It felt like the wind was taken out of my sails just as I was finding my rhythm with personal training and really enjoying my workout split. I had a cadaver tissue graft glued into my knee cartilage, as well as bone marrow taken from my hip and injected into my knee.
While I’ve developed a new found appreciation for long walks on cold mornings, I have a long road before I am back to my pre surgery fitness level. In a lot of ways it felt like my life was put on pause, but I believe the Lord has a plan and I trust in His process.
One thing remains a constant for me- movement is healing! And while that may not look like what it was 6 months ago, it doesn’t mean it’s any less important 🤍

It is a GIFT to be able to move and strengthen your body.
This is the truth I hold onto when I’m having a hard time motivating myself to workout. Not every day is going to feel amazing, and that’s okay.
But reminding yourself that it is a privilege and of your WHY is key.
Some things that help me stay disciplined
- working out with friends or my husband
- listening to music or a podcast I love
- not giving myself the chance to change my mind. (For example, changing into my workout clothes before I leave work and go home/to the gym)
Save for later or send to a friend who may need to hear it 🤍

Group workouts >>>>
I hit a slump a few months back - zero discipline and zero motivation. Working out felt like a chore.
Then I started hosting group fitness sessions with friends, and everything shifted! The energy is fun, and getting after it together is the ultimate motivator.
It’s become the highlight of my week.

I can’t be the only one 🙋🏻♀️
Weight lifting has so many physical benefits..but that has nothing on the mental benefits it brings
⋆improved mood and reduced symptoms of depression and anxiety
⋆enhanced cognitive function
⋆increased self confident and body image
⋆better sleep!
Just to name a few..
If you want to start working out but don’t know where to start, shoot me a DM✨
