For the six weeks leading up to my Florida trip, I used ChatGPT to help me dial in my macros every day — and honestly, the biggest game changer was protein. Hitting my protein goal and staying consistent in the gym made such a difference. I felt stronger, leaner, and more confident heading into vacation. 💪☀️

At 41, it’s been really cool to look back at this journey I started posting in my early 30s on the page. Year after year, it’s become a kind of journal — a way to track the work, the progress, the setbacks, the comebacks, and everything in between. It’s fun to see how far you can go when you just keep showing up for yourself.

The goal now is the same as it’s always been: keep pushing, stay strong, and keep building the healthiest, strongest version of me. ❤️‍🔥

I said I would do updates so here it is. I actually left CF and I’m back at my gym. My elbows were a little sore prior to joining CF from doing routine pull-ups and unfortunately all the rig work there made it worse. I wanted to work through the pain but my gut tells me that’s not the right choice & I have to give them a break. I absolutely LOVE the leg work but can’t justify spending $200 per month just to do the lower body workouts. I’m back at the gym and working on strengthening and stretching the muscles around my elbows so hopefully it’s not a long term issue. I do want to make it clear that my elbows were an issue BEFORE CF and this isn’t a CF injury! I know everyone likes to blame CF but that’s not the issue here! ;)

A little late to post but this is exactly 1 month into 💪🏼 Although I’ve been working out and lifting FOR YEARS, this has challenged me in ways I never thought. Some days I actually feel out of shape. I’m still learning many of the lifts and the coaches are very adamant about correct form to minimize any risk of injury which I really appreciate.

I absolutely love being surrounded by many humble strong athletes of all ages. It’s so motivating!

All in all, I was feeling awesome until I took Christmas week off… going back yesterday felt like day #1 all over again.

A few years and 2 babies later… I’m here to post for accountability. I feel like I’m FINALLY getting into a rhythm now that my little guys are almost 5 & 3 and I want to make a little more time for me again. Unfortunately, it’s not that easy to meet D at the gym like old times from 70 mins away. 😭 With that being said, I took the plunge and joined a local CrossFit gym with such an amazing community. I’m going to be doing updates here once a month until my 40th birthday in August. You’re welcome to join me, add your photos, send DM’s, or anything that will help inspire & motivate you too! XO

Sharing this here too because I know many of you are into anti-aging but like to avoid injectables and seek other modalities!

Super pumped to be documenting my journey with NeoGen starting next week at Shaun Charles Med Spa! Be sure to follow my IG account () for updates!

For those of you who don’t know about this modality, NeoGen’s method of action is Nitrogen Plasma (Plasma as in the 4th state of matter) where they will be treating all areas of the skin down to the reticular dermis. Unlike CO2 Neogen does not ablate the epidermis as it remains in tact acting as a natural biological bandage during the healing process.

Unlike laser technologies nitrogen plasma does not seek out a specific chromophore (seeks water in the tissue) affording the ability to treat all skin types safely and effectively eliminating the risk of thermal injury and/or infection.

As of yesterday this spa won the 2022 Aesthetic Awards for Best Non-Surgical Facial Rejuvenation Enhancement so happy I’m getting treated by the best of the best! 👏🏼

Most women wouldn’t even think to blame testosterone levels for their lowered libido. However, researchers have long known that testosterone and sexual desire in women are connected & we need to start normalizing discussions about testosterone in women through the peri and menopausal years.

Testosterone and libido are closely connected — it can be devastating to lose your sexual desire and to feel like you’re letting your partner down.

Yes. Low testosterone can kill your libido, and this is true no matter your gender.

Optimizing hormones can truly save relationships. I’ve heard it over and over again. Why is this such a secret when it comes to women?

Oh and just an FYI.. testosterone can also effect sleep, energy, sweats, mood, bone health… the list goes on.

*If you want to search for a provider in your area who will measure blood serum levels..visit www.biote.com to get more information. 🥰

My friend Ali has been in the fitness industry for quite some time and was a rockstar CrossFitter. After having 3 kids in 3 years, she’s back at it! So impressed by her motivation that I had to share.

Follow her IG if you want to see more of her journey! Love supporting other women and their goals… especially amazing ones like her! 🥰

Do you buy Pirate’s B***y with the assumption it’s made with non-gmo corn?

It’s crazy to think of how many years have gone by since the creation of YourGymGF and the various paths my life has taken. I have to share this new path because of the way it has personally impacted my family and directly relates to woman’s health.

My mom uses the word serendipitous everyday to describe the timing because she just wasn’t feeling like herself. She explained it to me as just feeling kind of dead inside. She has always taken great care of herself and maintains a pretty positive attitude but she couldn’t get out of her own way. She started to contemplate antidepressants and other avenues until she got educated on hormones and got her serum levels tested. Her testosterone came back at 9. If you know anything about testosterone women have receptors from head to toe and it effects anxiety, depression, mental clarity, joint pain, sleep, libido, etc,….and we lose 50% of it by the age of 40.

Long to story short, she got pelleted (basically like a grain of rice under the skin that gets released through cardiovascular output) with testosterone and she’s a new woman. She opted for testosterone only due to her history of breast cancer.

Needless to say, her energy is through the roof and she just explains it as feeling SO alive again. She gets so emotional about it and says to me, “What would I have ever done if you didn’t get a job with Biote…my life felt over”.

If you are battling symptoms of peri menopause, menopause, or post menopause.. YOU are not alone. Take the time to get educated and see what makes the most sense for you. You KNOW your body and don’t let anyone gaslight you. What I do know is that you should never feel you have way more bad days than good…that certainly isn’t living!
