Sometimes a hike in the woods with your ultimate best friend is just what you need after a day of helping 2 of your other best friends move ❤️❤️ #fallslake #raleighnc #spartan #trifecta #savagerace #toughmudder #ruggedmaniac #getdirty #hiking #getoutdoors (at Raleigh, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBJSjVRHyS0/?igshid=zr86oal91hzs

From seeing a muscle forming in my arm to saying no to the chocolate that is sitting in fridge, I'm seeing new muscles peeking through every day! Did you know that your mind is a muscle you have to work too? You have to train your resistance level just as much, if not more, than you have to train your arms and your legs. You have to teach yourself how to say no to the candy bar in your fridge or the cookies in your pantry. It's hard, but the results are so worth the effort 👊🏻 #trainyourbrain #resistancetraining #results #changeyourmindset #justsayno #musclegain #musclestrength (at Raleigh, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA7l-6-hm1Q/?igshid=laquoc36ii8q

I almost didn't workout this morning. My heart was just so heavy and it was taking every ounce of energy I had to move 😔 But I knew I had to out my goals ahead of the goals of strangers so I got my a** off the couch and pushed play! After the warm up round, I knew I had made the right choice. I channeled all of my anger and sadness into the workout and felt empowered by the end 👊🏻 I encourage you to choose your goals today and allow yourself to feel empowered as well ✌🏻 #chooselove #lovewins #blacklivesmatter #alllivesmatter #pushplay #achieveyourgoals (at Raleigh, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA5Q_Xshff9/?igshid=eow92pcxj4xa

Last night I couldn't sleep because I had so much on my mind regarding the hatred that has been shown on the news and social media. I have seen so many people condone the riots that have been happening around the US and it hurts my heart 💔 ⠀ ⠀ Let me make one thing clear⠀ ⠀ I do not support the officers who have UNLAWFULLY killed men and women regardless of their color but I also do not support the citizens of this country who have UNLAWFULLY destroyed businesses that have done nothing to harm them!⠀ ⠀ Last night the riots moved to North Hills which is not even 2 miles from my house. Last night they broke into the Harris Teeter that I shopped at on Saturday. That Harris Teeter employs a very kind black woman who told me she lost her full time job due to Covid-19 and is relying on her paycheck from Harris Teeter. That woman could possibly lose this job thanks to the hatred that was shown last night⠀ ⠀ I am deeply saddened for the innocent people who are being affected by the riots just as much as I am deeply saddened for the families who have lost loved ones because of police brutality⠀ ⠀ To the police officers I know who are biracial or black as well as the white officers I know who have not used unnecessary force on a citizen: I see you and I appreciate you and everything you are doing to keep us safe. And I'm so sorry you are being looped in to the cliche that has been created 😔⠀ ⠀ Violence breeds more violence.

Yesterday was spent for ME!⠀ ⠀ I went to my eye appointment and got contacts for the first time ever!! It feels so good knowing that I can buy cute sunglasses if I want but driving around without glasses on felt illegal afterwards 😂😂 ⠀ ⠀ I also met up with my bestie, @heathermeiggs for my first pedicure since December!!! My feet feel so soft and smooth now and my soul feels rejuvenated 😍⠀ ⠀ Last but not least, I have decided to pick up a new hobby. In high school, I was almost fluent in French. I was getting so good!! But I gave it up to learn Spanish because I thought it would be better for my future self⠀ ⠀ I don't remember a lick of Spanish after 4 years of taking it🤦🏼‍♀️⠀ ⠀ I do, however remember many random French words! So I decided to feed my soul a little and start relearning 🥰⠀ ⠀ #french #france #speakingfrench #learningfrench #learninglanguages #bilingual #feedmysoul #pedicure #padfoot #spaday #contacts #eyecontacts #glasses👓 (at Raleigh, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CA2bx8Wqm24/?igshid=m765w6uy5q4q

I hate this mask It's uncomfortable. I can't breathe properly. I can't talk properly. It fogs up my glasses. It gets hot. So why do I wear it? Because it makes the people around me feel more comfortable. It makes them feel safe. It reminds them that they are cared about. So no matter how much I hate this mask, I will continue to wear it for the sake of other people's wellbeing ❤️❤️ #thinkofothers #wearamask #masksforall #personalcare #loveothers #socialdistancing #covid19 #caronavirus #quarantine #coveryourface #careaboutothers (at Raleigh, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAvUHIcBjsl/?igshid=xokdqmm0mqfj

My only word to describe how I feel about this weekend is GRATEFUL ❤️❤️❤️⠀ ⠀ I spent the weekend with my best friends enjoying life and eating INSIDE RESTAURANTS!!!! I stayed off social media and stayed present in the moments I used to take for granted from walking to breakfast almost everyday to playing board games at night 😍⠀ ⠀ The weather could have been better but the company was more than perfect and my heart is so full 🥰🥰🥰⠀ ⠀ #fullheart #beachplease #gamenight #obx #restaurantfood #supportlocalbusinesses #outerbanks #bepresent (at Outer Banks) https://www.instagram.com/p/CApwUMqKI99/?igshid=1dfp09unzf30o

Today I finished my 6 week boxing program! ⠀ ⠀ You can't tell in the picture but I am seriously crying from all the emotions @joelfreemanfitness put into my head during the last round of boxing. ⠀ ⠀ He reminded me that I am the person holding myself back. I am the person who tells myself that I can't do it. I am the person who says it's impossible⠀ ⠀ But he also reminded me that it's not impossible and I CAN do this⠀ ⠀ I don't know what my results will show physically but I do know that, mentally, I am STRONGER... and my legs have seriously never had so much muscle 😂😂 https://www.instagram.com/p/CASki-iq7st/?igshid=xtfu5a210na9

Date night during Quarantine looks a little different 🥂⠀ ⠀ Last night Scott and I rode our bikes to a nearby restaurant to order dinner and a drink kit. We may have spiked our drinks as well 💁🏼‍♀️ ⠀ ⠀ Let's just say, the ride home was pretty carefree and the rest of the night consisted of Mario Cart and Jenga 🤣 https://www.instagram.com/p/CAQLkcTqw39/?igshid=tjya9n7g465w

[girlntraining]

Yesterday I shared about my bad day and what I did to turn it around. I openly shared my exhaustion and my need for socialization again. ⠀ ⠀ Putting on real clothes and makeup did help A LOT!!! Scott and I also decided on going to Nags Head next weekend with some friends instead of camping by ourselves and I realized how incredibly lucky I am to have a guy in my life who is willing to give up our first camping trip in 2 years just so I can have some normalcy in my life again 🥰🥰🥰⠀ ⠀ Today I realize I need more "me" time so I am taking a rest day from my program to drink coffee and read from my book ☕📖😌⠀ ⠀ I hope you all have an incredible day and thank you for your continued support ❤️❤️❤️ https://www.instagram.com/p/CANP-VaKUPz/?igshid=oi6rdsiscvva

Ever have just a truly terrible workout? Yeah that was me this morning. Mentally .. I just wasn't there I try to maintain a positive light on social media but the truth is, I have bad days too! And today started out as one! I am EXHAUSTED and tired of not seeing friends. I want drink in an actual bar and not my kitchen or living room. I want to give a big hug to my friends! But that's not possible right now So instead, I took a shower and washed my hair for the first time since... Sunday? Maybe? Then put on some pants I've never fit into before and some makeup I rarely wear The point is, only YOU can change your bad day around! #ocr #spartan #toughmudder #savagerace #mudrun #prettyisasprettydoes #makeup #dressedupwithnowheretogo #nobaddays https://www.instagram.com/p/CAK2xVSARbn/?igshid=18kxdgemlymv8

Oh how this speaks to me 😅😅⠀ ⠀ I remember the days when I used to solve all my problems with food... shoot I used a problem or a good day as a reason to eat! What people don't know if that this is actually an eating disorder called Binge Eating⠀ ⠀ This eating disorder isn't really discussed that much because no really recognized it... but it's real y'all! And it has affected MILLIONS of lives! Thankfully, psychologists and treatment centers are starting to recognize this disorder and learn how to help patients cope with it 😌⠀ ⠀ If you see food as a resource to solve problems or use it as a crutch in anyway, please reach out to someone. I can guarantee there is help out there and that this disease is manageable!⠀ ⠀ You will never be fully cured, but you can at least learn how to control it and use it to benefit you 😘 https://www.instagram.com/p/CAKv5LmqrZc/?igshid=nl565ha8dbpw

Success doesn't come over night, I started this journey back in 2012! 8 FREAKING YEARS AGO!! Y'all it has taken me 8 years of trying new things, pushing my body past it's comfort zone and eating healthy to get where I am today!! It may not take you 8 years like it did for me. It may only take 6 months but you will never know unless you start today 😘😘 #spartan #toughmudder #mudrunner #mudrun #ocr #obstaclecourseracing #ocrtraining #fitnessandhealth #goalgetter #goals #healthgoals #starttoday #somedayistoday #dontwaittilltomorrow #maybesomeday #howabouttoday https://www.instagram.com/p/CAIEiltAvv1/?igshid=7teelm4gt5w6

Yesterday I talked about my past. I dug deep into my old feelings and told you things that no one new about at the time but I didn't do it for the comments or the likes (although they were VERY appreciated and I love you even more for reminding me how much I benefit from knowing each and everyone of you ❤️❤️)... I did it because someone somewhere out there needed to hear it.⠀ ⠀ Whoever you are, if you're taking a look at this post today, I want you to remember:⠀ ⠀ You do have the strength and courage to survive this terrible disease called depression⠀ ⠀ The world may seem like it's falling apart right now, but the pieces are falling into a new path that will help you find your way back to the light⠀ ⠀ It is ok to not be ok⠀ ⠀ It's even better to seek out advice from friends or professionals when you are not ok⠀ ⠀ You are loved and you are wanted ❤️❤️ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ https://www.instagram.com/p/CAICDweKoHD/?igshid=1n6c7g9vqhku
