Helping women prioritize their health while navigating motherhood and all the sh*t life throws at us. Strong for LIFE 💪

Tomorrow is day 200/200.

And my building phase is definitely not ending the way that I hoped.

In my mind I was going to crush this last week and go into February feeling strong as hell.

But that was in my mind and this is real life, and as luck would have it, I got sick this past week.

I couldn't work out. (Still can't due to coughing)

I couldn't eat. (Slowly coming around)

And because of that, I lost several lbs this week.

Now, there's a past version of me that would have thought, "Oh well! That's a great jump start on losing the fat," and moved right into losing more, but that was the type of thinking that lead to a really unhealthy relationship with food, exercise and my body.

So, instead of moving into my next phase of a mini cut (fat loss), I've made the decision to get back to maintenance for a bit before I move on to make sure I do this in a healthy way.

And truthfully, that's what a lot of this phase has been about.

Yes, I wanted to build muscle...

But I also wanted to prove to myself that I could this...

That I could allow myself to grow in ways that at one point I wouldn't have even considered doing.

So even though it didn't go exactly as planned...

I did the thing I said I was going to do...

And there is no better outcome than that.

"You haven't been writing much lately."

It was a comment made recently, and until it was said I didn't really realize it...

She's correct though.

I haven't been writing lately.

And honestly, it's because I'm in a good place.

I tend to write when it feels like I'm going to burst open if I don't get the feelings out...

But that hasn't happened in a while.

So, while I'm sure life is going to life and at some point I'll need to let those words pour out again...

I'm going to keep riding the wave of being content 🫶

😅😅😅

Now Fridays are my "Hair wash" night and I read until my eyelids get heavy at 9pm.

One of the biggest shifts I saw in my progress (results), is when I shifted my mentality towards the food I put in my body.

Back when my only goal was to be skinny, my thoughts around food often rotated around the idea that I needed to eat as little as possible, and if I went over my calorie goal that was already set entirely too low, I would shame myself and try to "make up" for it the next day.

My thoughts surrounding food were focused only on "How can I change myself to be better? to fit the standard?"

Not surprising, this often put me in binge and restriction cycles.

And in turn, that did not lead me to the results I truly wanted.

But then there was this shift that I think comes after feeling absolutely exhausted by the methods you've always used that don't work...

I started thinking about food as fuel, not just a way to get skinny...

I started thinking about my body as my home, not just something in constant need of improvement...

I started thinking about my life in terms of what I wanted to accomplish, not just passing time until I was finally thin enough to happy (psst... that day was never coming).

To simplify it...

I started to eat like I loved myself.

And only then did I start to see the results I had been looking for for years.

Did my ideal body change? Yes, absolutely.

And that was also a byproduct of appreciating my body for what it could do, not just how it looked.

So, as you work towards those goals in the new year, just remember that the way you think about food and you matter.

You can still work towards a healthy body and also understand that you are not in constant need of "fixing"...

Eat to fuel your workouts.

Eat to feel good.

Eat to support all the cool s**t you want to do.

Eat like you love yourself 🫶

I'm going to be 39 this year.

In a couple months, actually.

And inching towards 40 has me thinking back over last decade of my life.

A decade that had some of my strongest, healthiest, and best days to date.

And if I would have listened to the chatter around me in my late 20s, I would have believed that my body was about ready to go to s**t...

I would have believed that my strongest and best days were behind me...

I would have believed that it was time to give up on any dreams of ever being strong or fit...

But let me tell you friend, that's all garbage.

That's a lie people tell you to make themselves feel better about not going after what they want.

It's not too late.

You're not too old, or weak, or too far gone.

You actually could be just getting started.

Don't give up now...

Chances are that your healthiest, strongest and best days are still ahead of you 🫶

There are countless reasons why having a strong, healthy body is great...

But in my opinion, there is one that stands out among the rest...

And that is that no one, absolutely NO ONE can take it away from you.

No one can say that you didn't work for it.

You can't buy it.

You can't have someone else do it for you.

You can't take shortcuts.

There are no teas, supplements, procedures, or anything else that can do the work for you.

Yes, it can come faster and/or easier for some, but still...

The work has to be done.

And when you have this one thing that you worked hard for that no one can take away, you prove to yourself that you can do other hard things.

And life is just better when you have the confidence to go after what you want.
