If you know me IRL it might sound completely absurd that I once imaged bikini modeling as a goal. SAY WHAT!? 😱🤭🤣 It's true though! I wanted it, ya'll! I was measuring out my brown rice and reading @oxygenmag on the daily! Trying to get those defined delts! I was hungry for it! 💪🏻🤨🙏🏻 . . Did I get there? Did I grace the cover or make it as a transformation story? I sure didn't and I'll be honest, my body never looked like I imagined and hoped (and secretly wanted) it to but here's the kicker: I did make INCREDIBLE strides in becoming healthier and more fit. When I look back on photos of myself shortly after discovering this magazine and beginning those dreams, I see the delts!! They were there!! I had muscles, I was strong! And I think it just goes to show, the saying to ‘aim for the sky and you'll fall among stars’ is so true. ✨ . Your end-game may not look like you imagined; it might be totally laughable but whatever inspires you, start there! Little by little adds up! This is what I’m telling myself today as I start back at ground zero! 👊🏻 . . . #shelifts #strongwomen #bodyimage #selflove #whstrong #selfconfidence #takeupspace #lovemyshape #livewithintention #findyourstrong #pursuitofhappiness #wellnessblogger #fitspo #fitfam #fitnessmotivation #bodypositivity #healthyliving #fitness
Only 4% but it can set the tone and change your entire day! It can also transform your relationship, bringing about encouraging words and affirmation, and getting the endorphins flowing! 4% goes a long way!! ✨. . . . . . . #crossfitchicks #shelifts #strongwomen #exercises #burpees #whstrong #barbell #gym #workout #wod #amrap #pursuitofhappiness #wellnessblogger #fitspo #fitfam #fitnessmotivation #kettlebell #healthyliving #fitness #quote #motivation
Be your very own #wcw !! I'm not trying to be like anyone else out here. 👎🏻 I just want to be ME from about 4 years ago! 🤣🤣 Doing a juice cleanse in the middle of my Whole30, and CrossFitting 4-5xs a week. Those were the days, I tell myself. And it's a slow comeback but you know what? I'm coming back! 👊🏻 Stronger and faster and hungrier and better than before. I am my own inspiration! 💪🏻 Thinking back on days like the one when this photo was taken: a styled shoot, which was a dream come true at the time! I'm learning that it's easy to loose yourself: whether in relationships, bogged down by stress or in motherhood; and it's a constant battle to hone in on your own needs and wants, but I can remember the days I chased my dream! 💫 I’m coming for you again... watch out world!

Whose tried this before? 🙋🏼‍♀️ What was your score? I haven’t done it in ages but I think I came in around 9 or 10 minutes! This would probably take twice that nowadays but it’d make a great benchmark to check progress in a few months! . . . . #crossfitchicks #shelifts #strongwomen #exercises #burpees #whstrong #barbell #gym #workout #wod #amrap #pursuitofhappiness #wellnessblogger #fitspo #fitfam #fitnessmotivation #kettlebell #healthyliving #fitness
