I’m so grateful for the love and affection of my sweet pups right now❤️They seriously make these uncertain days so much more bearable, and give me daily purpose to care for them and give them back all the love that they always give me unconditionally💞🐾💞
Now is such an amazing time to consider fostering or adopting! I highly encourage anyone who has been on the fence about either to consider it now more than ever! All this time at home alone could instead be spent with a loving, darling babe who just wants to shower you with affection 24/7....sounds like a win to me🥰 I cannot stress how much more full my life has been since I became a dog mama (almost 14 years ago!!). It’s life changing in the best way ❤️
If you’re local and you don’t know where to start, you can always hit up my friend Holly at who does incredible work and always has incoming animals who need a new family! And I’m a huge fan of , too! Who knows, maybe the perfect furbaby is waiting for you and is just an application away! 🐾💞🐾

7 day stairs challenge complete!!!
🎉🎉🎉
If you’ve been watching my stories, you’ll know that I was struggling for real! 😂 But f**k if I’m not proud of this week!💪🏻
As a reminder, the challenge was to run up and down the stairs 10 times every day for a week. For those who asked, the flight up was 28 stairs, so that’s 560 stairs each day 😅 First day, I ran only 5 of the 10 flights before I had to take a break (about a minute rest) before finishing the challenge. Day two, I did all 10 flights, untimed, but I was stoked I didn’t stop until I was done. Day three, decided to start timing myself, and the first time was 2 mins 59 seconds. Day four, I did the stairs at the gym which was BRUTAL because I had just finished a workout + sparring a few rounds, so I was already dead...did not time that one 😂 Day 5, sucking wind, but got my time down to 2 mins 52 seconds. Day 6, time down AGAIN!! 2 mins 45 seconds (chest exploding!!). And today. TODAY!! I had a s**t day. I won’t get into it, but I’ve been hella down mentally all day and the last thing I wanted to do was the stair challenge. But I went anyway...and what do you f**kin’ know, my time was 2 mins 38 seconds!!!! (Gasping for air😂😂 But YESSSS!!!) I can’t believe this weeks progress, y’all! I ended my stair challenge today in tears because I had such a dumb day today, but I went out anyway and ended up dominating my time. I’m proud of myself! I hope that all of you who wrote me and said you might run up and down some stairs, too...I hope it felt great and that you feel proud of yourself for doing a thing for YOU🖤 I liked this challenge a lot. I might just continue onto the next week....or maybe something new! I have a day to decide 😉 Happy Friday!

It’s time to shake off these last few months (and especially these last few weeks!!) and get back to it! I’m posting this video because I’m starting with a small challenge for myself this week, and if I do it this week, I might just add on another week! If you want to join me, we can try it out together and chat about our progress! It’s a simple task, but I’ve been in a funk lately, so I’m down with simple. Sometimes when I’m like this, just doing a small task and completing it can be huge. So I’m starting here!
•
There’s a large flight of stairs by the levee, and I’m going to go every day for a week and run up and down it 10 times. That’s it!
Today I did it with my husband. After 5 flights up and down, I was sucking wind so hard that I had to take a quick break before completing the last 5 flights up and down. But I did it, and now I know more of what my goal is! Can I get past 5 flights without taking a break? Can I go for 6? 7? Will I get to all 10? I like that a simple goal like this already presents new goals from day one!
•
Side note…do you know pi**es me off? I faltered on wether or not I should post this video. It’s f**ked up because the first thing I thought when I saw it was, “I’ve gained too much weight” and I felt embarrassed to post it. If you’ve been following along with me these last few months, you know that this weight gain has not been easy for me. I’m still processing and coming to terms with the new me. I have bad days when I’m super down on myself.
•
But why should I be down on myself? Because I made a conscious decision to eat more and stop restricting my calories? Because I chose to stop entering into MyFitnessPal and stop letting it consume my life? Because I have more energy now since I don’t deny myself food when I’m actually hungry, even if I’m eating “more than what my calorie intake for the day should be?” Because I’m choosing to work towards being strong instead of just being skinny?
•
Y’all. The road to self love is LONG and DIFFICULT...but I’m f**king working on it.
•
In the mean time…wanna run up and down some stairs with me this week?

I fell asleep last night before I could post these shots of the beautiful sunset...it was the perfect, magical conclusion to another incredible Mardi Gras💛🌅
Obsessed that my new phone could capture how bright and brilliant the colors were last night!! Wtf!
I’ve spent today snuggling my pups, making pho, eating pho, going for a walk to the river, and now I’m back to snuggling my pups. Pretty good Ash Wednesday if I do say so myself✨
Hope y’all made it through today relatively unscathed! 🥰

Hey y’all! My new blog is up and ready to read!

https://www.miainmotion.com/post/hello-back-pain-my-old-friend

•
It’s been awhile. This week has been extremely hard for me. My lower back pain came back out of nowhere with a vengeance. But, I’m actually glad! As hard as it is to deal with, it has lead me back to writing!
Today I bring you writing about living with pain, how to help yourself naturally, and how to find empowerment through pain.
•
It’s all about learning that we have so many tools at our disposal to help live a more pain free existence!
•
I know a lot of you ask me about my diet, and I’ve detailed it again in this blog.
I’ve also included information on the McKenzie method, core stability, and just the idea that simple movement can be a beautiful therapy!
•
I have no pictures of me today, so here’s a pic of when I was super feeling myself and my outfit awhile back 🤓🖤I’m using it as motivation to heal even faster so I can get out of my house ASAP! 🥰
•
I hope you enjoy the read!

All the kisses for me from my favorite girl!! She’s almost 14, gah! Can you believe it?! So thankful to be her mama! She sat with me for 24 hours straight yesterday, never leaving my side...best nurse in the land. Happy Valentine’s Day! 🐾🤍🐾
Ps...I’m feeling light years better today! Thank goodness...Here’s to quick recovery! 🤞🏻🖤

Today I’m reminded of the word pain. In all it’s glory. A word and a feeling I’m very familiar with. Like all encompassing, radiating down to my legs pain. It’s been awhile. Like...really. A super long time. But here we are.
Imma keep it real with y’all. Even though I’ve found such healing for my back injuries through the anti inflammatory diet and strengthening myself, my core and back muscles, really my whole body, (and generally my back feels pretty great these days!)....sometimes I have a bad day. Or a bad week.
•
Well, this has been a TERRIBLE week. Low back pain shooting into sciatica that keeps me up at night, in tears, and none of my go to’s have helped.
•
Through my tears, I’m trying to remind myself of the silver lining. My body is alive and capable of telling me that something is wrong, and I’m so attuned now to know exactly where it came from...damn if I haven’t had an insane number of years of practice with this issue.
•
Body, I hear you. Don’t stray. I know what works and what gives me relief. I know what workout motions cause me great stress and which ones work for my injuries. Sometimes I like to think I’m past that. But today, I have been reminded.
•
I know what food makes me feel great and what food causes inflammation and problems. Thank you for the reminder.
Thank you, body, for telling me what I need to do to keep you healthy and pain free long term. Thank you for reminding me that when I get off course, you will SERIOUSLY let me know what’s up! You let me know what choices aren’t beneficial for healing and a mostly pain free existence. I am listening.
•
I’m really trying to stay positive right now, even though the back pain is almost unbearable today. So I’m just going to keep saying thank you.🖤

Today in “Don’t pay attention to the number”! Damn if I don’t still get stuck on the number, y’all. It’s hard. It’s been shoved in our heads since we were little. The smaller number means you are healthier! The smaller number means you’re prettier! The smaller number means that people will like you! It’s ingrained in our brains, and damn if it isn’t near impossible to start thinking another way. I’m not perfect. But I’m working on it, always. In picture number one, I was 117 lbs. In the second photo, today, I’m 127 lbs. It really helps me to see these side by side. Because sometimes when I look in the mirror these days, especially after weighing myself, I think I’m “too big”, that I’ve lost all the progress I’ve made over the last two years, and that I’ve gained too much weight back. But when I take a step back and see these next to each other, I see that I pretty much look the same, size wise...but the difference is that in photo number 2, I’m stronger! I’m not used to looking like that yet, I’ll be honest. I was used to looking “lean and skinny”. But when I was “lean and skinny “ I was restricting my calories and didn’t have the energy I needed or wanted to get through hard workouts. (Self reminder!!)
While I still track my food, I don’t restrict calories anymore. I would say on average I eat around 1800 to 2000 calories a day. I have energy, I’ve gained more muscle, and I notice I just feel stronger than when I was smaller.
These are all positive things! And I have to remind myself that this IS BETTER and this IS HEALTHIER! Eating right, still eating clean whole foods, but not limiting calories to reach a small number on the scale.
It’s a process! Thanks for being a part of my journey...for the ups and downs. Always working, always learning 🖤
