You’ve seen me tired, hungry, stressed, laser-focused, and mildly unhinged …and somehow you still look at me like I’m your favorite person.

Thank you for loving me in real life, not just the highlight reel. Happy Anniversary

This month, I’m choosing to speak love into myself instead of criticism. I’m choosing to actually be here in the moments that matter, not rushing through them. I’m accepting what I can’t control and releasing the need to fight everything. I’m giving myself permission to make mistakes without turning them into shame. I’m letting go of what no longer serves me, even if it once felt familiar. And I’m staying open—to growth, to change, to possibilities I didn’t plan for but might need.

This is what progress looks like right now.

Lately I’ve needed another avenue for conditioning because the treadmill and stair mill just aren’t doing it for me anymore. This HIIT circuit hit that need—hex bar deadlifts, squat pops, ball slams, and plyometric lunges strung together with minimal rest. It kept my mind engaged and my body working in a way steady cardio hasn’t been. Sometimes switching the format is exactly what brings the intensity back.

I’m in a strange season in the sport. I don’t actually know what path I’m going down or what division makes sense for me anymore. My last prep before my final show of 2025 cost me more muscle than I expected, and I haven’t climbed fully out of that hole yet. It’s been frustrating. It’s also been humbling. I’m not done, just in-between. These transition spaces are rarely talked about, but they’re real. I don’t have my answer yet, and that’s where I’m at.

I’ve been blending my bodybuilding training with Hyrox-style conditioning. I lift first to keep the muscle work a priority, then finish with conditioning that makes me breathe, move, and suffer just enough.

It’s been a good balance so I can still grow glutes, shoulders, and back without feeling like I’m trading muscle for cardio. Strong and conditioned is a fun combo.

Getting better doesn’t always feel cinematic. Most days it’s small wins stacked on top of each other—one more rep, one cleaner transition, one less excuse. That 1% adds up fast if you don’t skip the boring part. I’m chasing capacity, chasing shape, and chasing the version of me that keeps raising the bar.

One percent better every day doesn’t look flashy.
It looks like showing up when motivation is gone.
It’s choosing the boring reps, the quiet discipline, the small wins that stack.
That’s how real change happens — not overnight, but inevitably.
