This week didn’t feel like a “winning” week. I wore a lot of hats—daughter, caregiver, chauffeur, problem solver, fitness enthusiast…and somewhere in between, I forgot to prioritize myself. Between helping my daughter get ready for camp, taking both of my parents to their medical appointments, running to Home Depot to help my dad fix their shower, and trying to keep life moving…I was simply tired. Not “I need another cup of coffee” tired. Tired as fudge. 😅 I also didn’t get the rest and recovery my body needed. This morning I got to the gym at 7:00 AM and didn’t leave until 9:30 AM. Normally I move much faster, but today I listened to my body. I rested longer between sets, modified where I needed to, and accepted that today’s workout wasn’t going to look like my best. And you know what? I still walked away with two unexpected wins👇: 🏆 700 workouts completed 🏆 New PR: 160-lb Dumbbell Glute Bridge (+20 lbs) The biggest lesson? Consistency doesn’t always look impressive. Sometimes consistency is moving slower. Sometimes it’s lowering expectations without lowering your standards. Sometimes it’s simply refusing to quit when motivation is nowhere to be found. The scale may move slowly. Progress may feel slow. Life will always have seasons that demand more from us. But every time we choose to show up anyway…those choices compound. Today’s workout wasn’t about proving how strong I am. It was about proving I can still keep promises to myself even on the weeks when life asks me to wear every hat. ❤️ Question for you: Have you ever had a workout where simply showing up was the biggest victory?

I would say it’s a big win because I was feeling depressed and stressed for many days. And this last week I have started to focus on what I can control and to be grateful for what I have. Everything started to flow, my mood changed. I enjoy every day, every detail. I keep going 💪🏼 Picture: me watching a series while my father is watching the football match 🔥

This weekend was full of firsts... and I honestly surprised myself. ❤️✨ 🎶 My first ever festival. 🏕️ My first time camping. ⛺ My first time putting up a tent (and I'm pretty sure I could do it on my own now! 💪). 👭 I made new friends and actually started conversations with people I'd never met before. 💃 I stayed up late dancing... completely sober... and had the best time! What made it even more special was that I earned this trip as a work incentive. 🏆 I worked incredibly hard in sales to qualify, so being there felt even more rewarding. A year ago, I probably wouldn't have gone. My anxiety would have convinced me I wasn't good enough, that people would judge me or that I wouldn't keep up. Instead... I said yes. Yes, I stressed all week about the themes, what to wear and packed everything except the kitchen sink! 😂 But once I got there, I had one of the best weekends of my life. The company pulled out all the stops. 🌟 Retreat activities by day, amazing live acts by night, incredible weather ☀️ (although I may have come home with a little sunburn... we'll gloss over that! 😂). One of my favourite moments was chatting to a complete stranger. We spoke about life's losses, our wins and realised how much we had in common. ❤️ It reminded me that everyone has a story. I also had some brilliant conversations about health and fitness. One lady shared her incredible results, and I was able to pass on some of the knowledge I've learned from coach @Darren Liu . I'm always learning, so being able to help someone else felt really special. 💚 I'm also proud that I stayed mindful with my food. 🥗 I tracked everything for accountability, enjoyed myself without overindulging and reminded myself that balance is key. Every morning I made sure I had my protein, creatine and electrolytes, and kept my electrolytes topped up throughout the day. 💧 I managed an incredible 67,581 steps over the two days! 👣😅 That wouldn't have been possible if I hadn't started increasing my daily step count back in January. I never imagined I'd be able to walk that much... and the funny thing is, I actually enjoyed it! 🚶‍♀️ Today is all about recovery, rest and letting my legs recover. 😴

For me it started right away. I didn't wait for the week to start to watch what I ate. I workout, then prepared a healthy hearty breakfast and the rest of my meals were pretty much the same.

Hi All! Currently on vacation and I was glad I was able to get two workouts in before breakfast! I did an upper body workout in their cool 24 hour gym and then I found some pickleball courts and got to do some cardio! Both 30min exercises from the Bodi app. Well this is day one. Day 2 will be lower body and cardio so we’ll see what I can do 😂.. so glad I found a place I can share these small daily achievements that ultimately serve to build this fortress of happiness I’m pursuing. Hope everyone has a great day! Sorry for the picture of desperation. It was pretty hot today but I assure you I was happy 😂
