I do love what I do... sometimes... most days... kinda 😅

Nobody claps for consistency.

Nobody cheers for discipline.

Nobody celebrates sustainable habits.

But they notice it.

They notice that you carry yourself differently.

They notice that you feel good about yourself.

They notice that you look healthier.

And when they notice these things, it will seem like it happened overnight.

They'll want to know your "secret"...

But you know the work you've put in...

And the mental shifts you've made...

And the habit you've created.

This is why it is important to acknowledge and celebrate yourself.

Because you are the person you will be with your whole life.

Make yourself proud.

I don't know who needs to hear this... But if seeing a higher number on the scale makes you spiral, then don't weigh you...

I don't know who needs to hear this... 

But if seeing a higher number on the scale makes you spiral, then don't weigh yourself for a while. 

You're going to weigh more after celebrating. 

It's okay. 

We all do. 

It's more than likely your body holding onto water from the holiday treats. 

So, don't make yourself feel like s**t about it. 

That's not worth your time...

But you know what is worth your time?

Getting back to your normal routine. 

Move your body. 

Drink water. 

Eat a big ass salad. 

Get good sleep

Nothing is ruined. 

As long as you're trying, you can't mess this up 🫶

I'm thankful for all of it..

The highs.

The lows.

The blessings.

The lessons.

The setbacks.

The comebacks.

The love.

The hate.

All of it.

Because it takes both the sun and the rain to grow.

Happy thanksgiving, friends 🫶

It's the week of Thanksgiving and I know celebrations are coming up for many of us...

And usually this is about the time that I remind you all that you don't have to earn your food, and that you don't have to "make up" for anything you eat, and that you can't ruin anything in a few meals...

That is all still true and I'll do that later this week...

But I want to talk to you all about something else today...

Get in the picture.

When your family or friends want to take a group picture, get in it.

Don't hide in the bathroom.

Don't insist on taking it yourself.

I know you may not look exactly how you hoped you might by now.

I know you might have said last year that this year would be different but you're finding yourself in the same situation.

I know you might want to "hide" your arms, or legs, or whatever you're self conscious about...

But get in the picture.

You can't change anything by hiding yourself.

You won't feel better by robbing your family and friends of memories of you.

You'll just look back on your life and realize you try to erase yourself.

And what a shame that would be 🫶

Happy happy birthday to the one who keeps everything rolling! Hope you are having a fantastic day, Cassie!!

As a trainer, I might be in the minority when I say that November and December are some of my favorite months to train...

Not because a bunch of people sign up...

Not because the business necessarily thrives...

Not because we step back and take it easy...

Nope...

In fact, the reason I love this time of year, is because I love to watch commitment in action.

I love watching our members understand that strength is not only built in January- May.

I love watching our new friends dig their heels in and say "Not this year. This year I'm doing this differently."

I love watching member after member figure out how to enjoy the holidays while making progress and tell us that they now think about food, exercise, and their bodies differently.

I love the mental shift, the grit, the acceptance that this change is going to be be hard...

But 100% worth it.

Because when Spring rolls around, and their friends are asking for their secret to their seemingly overnight success...

They'll let them know that their is no secret.

They'll let them know that they finally found what they've been looking for...

And what they found could not be found in crash diets, bikini body challenges, or supplements...

They found mental peace.

They found self confidence.

They found their STRONG...

And they did it in November and December.

This is an important lesson, so stick with me till the end...

Imagine one of the people you love the most in the world.

It can be your mother, sister, cousin, daughter, friend, niece, etc.

Just pick one person and think about them.

Now imagine that person came to you right now and said, "I'm going to give you my body to look after for a year. At the end of that year, I'll be back to get it."

So now you have the body of one of the people you love the most...

How would you treat that body?

How would you nourish it?

How would you exercise it?

How would you talk to it?

And in what condition would you return it to that person?

Really think about it...

Probably pretty well right?

At least to the best of your abilities, I imagine.

Now, why don't you treat your own body that way?

If you love that person enough to put in the effort and the care they deserve...

Do you not also deserve that same level of commitment?

Of course you do.

You are, more than likely one of that person's most favorite people as well.

And I'm sure they'd take care of you in a way that reflects that if they had the opportunity.

But that's the thing.

No one else can do it for you.

You have to do it for yourself.

Not just because it's expected of you.

Or because you need to weigh a certain amount.

Or because you should look a certain way.

But because YOU should also be someone you love and want to take care of.

And a year from now you should be able to return to yourself and think, "I took care of this body well." 🫶

As I'm just restarting the 52 Hike Challenge (this was Hike #2) I got to thinking about why this activity is such a positive role in my life.

There's the obvious, of course.

The movement...

The Vitamin D...

The accomplishment of finishing a trail or hitting a milage goal for the day...

These all come into play.

But what I think is one of the biggest factors in how doing this impacts my life is the fact that it pushes me to look for the good when I could easily see the negative.

On Sundays I pull up the weather and look for the best weather for the week...

The best weather could be 20°, and under normal circumstances I would not enjoy it, but given that it's the best for the week, I'm grateful for it.

It pushes me to look for the best trail for that weather...

That trail might only be 1 mile one that's rocky or it might be 7 miles of hills, but if that's the best one for the weather that day, then I'm grateful for it.

It pushes me to look for the best options for food around that trail. I might have to drive a little ways or take some time to pack the foods I need to support the work I do that day...

Either way, I'm grateful for it.

It pushes me to listen to books, or podcasts, or music that inspires me...

And if I have a long drive on top of the already lengthy hike, I know I have the time to dig into something I normally tell myself I don't have time for, and I'm grateful for it.

I know we hear about gratitude all the time and how we should prioritize it in our lives...

And that's true, we should.

All the big and small blessings.

But if you have the chance to do something that's uncomfortable, inconvenient, or takes time and it pushes you into that gratitude...

You should do that.

Taking something hard and seeing it as a blessing can change everything 🫶
