I want to be completely raw and honest today. I failed my StepBet goal and I’m officially out of the running. The last 4 days have been a struggle. I failed Phase 1 of 75 Hard (again), didn’t hit my step goal yesterday, and after very low attendance at Saturday’s event, I found myself feeling defeated. This morning I cried. For a little while, I felt like I was failing in multiple areas of my life. After spending time with family today and giving myself space to process everything and my fiance helping my through it I was reminded of something important: Failure only wins if I quit. So no, I won’t be winning StepBet. I’ll still be getting my steps in. I’ll still be showing up for myself. And tomorrow, I’ll be starting Phase 1 again. Progress isn’t about never falling down. It’s about getting back up one more time than you fall. If you’re in a season where things aren’t going as planned, this is your reminder that one bad day, one failed goal, or one setback doesn’t define you. We keep going. ❤️

Not going to lie, I’ve been a little MIA in here the past couple days 🤧 I didn’t go live yesterday because I’ve been fighting off being sick but I still wanted to show up and share what I have been doing to take care of myself! Nothing crazy or complicated just trying to take care of my body the best way in this situation! • Getting outside for a walk and soaking up some vitamin D ☀️ • Sleeping… a LOT😅 • Staying on top of my hydration (hydration sticks have been a lifesaver) • Drinking my essential amino acids to keep my body supported • eating even though nothings sounds great It’s a good reminder that taking care of yourself doesn’t always mean pushing harder… sometimes it means slowing down and giving your body what it actually needs. If you’re not feeling 100% right now too, don’t feel like you have to go all in just do what you can 💛 Checking in how is everyone feeling this week? What’s one thing you’re doing for yourself today?

It’s the LAST day of the Spring Reset… let’s gooo!!! You just did something most people won’t do!!! You showed up for 30 days straight. That’s not small. That’s discipline, that’s commitment, and that’s YOU proving to yourself what you’re capable of. I am so proud of every single one of you who stuck with it and stayed consistent. Seriously… take a second and let that sink in. Reflect on it. Be proud of it. You earned that. ALSO… we’re not done! We might take a short little breather, but we’re not losing momentum. This is just the beginning. We’re building on this, going deeper, and rising from there. Next challenge details are coming SO soon!!! We are building on this :) For now… celebrate!!! Do something you love this weekend. Get outside, enjoy the weather, move your body. Don’t drop the habit you just put in the work to build because this isn’t something you finished… it’s something you’re rooted in! You’re not just someone who did 30 days of work you’re someone who continues to put in the work! Now I want to hear it!!! What’s your biggest win from this challenge… and what’s next for you? Are you in for the next one? 💛

Today, I want to take a moment to recognize someone really special in our community @Lynne Williams and it’s even more meaningful because it’s her birthday today 🎉 Lynne has been showing up with so much consistency and intention. She’s been committed to getting her steps in and prioritizing movement for her body, and she’s been focusing on whole foods in such a grounded, sustainable way. Also consistent with our Sprinf Reset Challenge!!! But what stands out even more is who she is inside this space. She’s been openly sharing her recipes, encouraging others, and pouring into people when they need it most. She doesn’t just show up for herself she shows up for everyone around her. She has also made it a point to attend multiple in-person events, and every time she does, she brings such a light, calm, and uplifting presence to the community. She truly helps make this space feel like home for others. I don’t take this recognition lightly. You are seen, you are appreciated, and you are such an important part of what we are building here. Everyone, please help me celebrate Lynne let’s give her all the love for her birthday and for the way she continues to show up and inspire others. We are so lucky to have you in Rooted & Rising. 🤍

Movement = medicine! I have never felt worse after a workout! I hope you move your body in the most beautiful way today!!! Happy Wednesday!!! Workouts I use : https://www.1stphorm.app/AOB
