Toughness is found in your strength of character. If your compassion does not include yourself, it is incomplete. Be kind to yourself. We are only human, not perfect--give yourself grace. Give yourself patience when trying to change your body and mental game. Give yourself compassion during the process when when screw up, miss a workout or overindulge. Don't expect to do everything right the first time or every time, you're not supposed to know everything all at once. Keep moving forward, do YOUR best -- and only you know what that is. And, on the days you forget...I'll be in your corner cheering you on. ❤️

What matters most is how you walk through the fire. 🔥You always have a choice; you don't have to be a victim of your circumstances if you don't want to be. Life is about moving forward, accepting changes, changing what isn't working for you by looking forward to what makes you stronger and more complete. It's not about how you look, it's about how you SEE. Look for the best in the worst rather than the worst in the best. #perspective #mondaymantra 👊🏼💥

We are not perfect human beings, nor do we have to pretend to be, but it is necessary for us to be the best version of ourselves we can be. ❤️ #strongereverday

The happiest parts of my soul are born from the darkest moments in life. Because I LIVED, NOT for them. Because I SURVIVED. NOT for them. #NotForThem Have. The. Liberty. To. Clear. Your. Mind.

💃🏼💋 My body is always under construction. I am the architect of my own destiny. Goals are individual, not universal. Just because someone can lift heavier, run farther, or go longer doesn't mean your effort isn't valid. So work hard for YOU and YOUR OWN GOALS. Progress will come.

It's all really a #numbersgame... It can be especially #wellplayed when it's more than cardio...like #legday!! 😝I've had a few sassy clients try to outwit me and challenge me with their own number game @kbarrie1 ....😉✌🏼️ When I'm trying to push through and countdown the cardio/HIIT minutes left or in lifting when the reps in the set are burning I try to remember this quote I once read: "I am building a fire, and every day I train, I add fuel. At just the right moment, I light the match." 👊🏼🔥💥

Never take for granted your ability to workout and take care of yourself. 💕 From this perspective, there are no failures; only opportunities. Make the most out of this opportunity.

"Champions aren't made in the gym. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them- a desire, a dream, a vision." ~Muhammad Ali There is strength within you...all you have to do is have faith in it. Strength is built on the inside before it's seen on the outside. The foods you feed your body, your workout routine and stress level lay the foundation for how you feel, so fuel your body with good nutrition, break a little sweat each day and set aside time to unwind. Because it's hard to feel about bad about a body you're taking great care of.

Even though it is the end of the year, I'm still working on my goals. A lot of people tend to fall off the wagon this time a year, they spend the last 2 months of the year eating whatever they want and they skip their workouts. They do this with the thought in their mind that they will start over in January. There is nothing magical about January! Actually, it is much harder to get back on track then. All these New Year's resolutions are a lot of talk and BS. You can still focus on your goals and stay on track now. Don't get me wrong, I still plan on enjoying the holidays but I'm not going to use the holidays as an excuse to eat whatever ever I want. I'm not going to eat cookies all of December and make excuses that there is not enough time to fit my workouts in. I know that I NEED to work hard no matter what time of year it is because I know how far I've come. Fitting my workouts in and doing my weekly meal prep is especially important during this crazy time of year. I want you to come along with me and survive the frenzy, too! Message me if you'd like to be a part of my private accountability group or if you'd like one on one coaching. It's time to get on track and stay on track. Don't wait till January. You can have all of the best of intentions in the world but if you don't execute them, you are just spinning your wheels.

Your fitness is 100% mental. Your body won't go where your mind doesn't push it. People just don't find the strength and willpower that they need…THEY CREATE IT! Sometimes the strength within you is not a big fiery flame for all to see, it is just a tiny spark that whispers ever so softly: "You got this. Keep going." On days that things don't go as planned, the days your feeling stressed or frustrated, take whatever you're feeling: all that anger, all that fear, all that negative energy....take it to the gym and spend it there. These things make great fuel. Let these things nourish you and not the other way around. Old ways won't open new doors. Make that change..

Barebells, Phormula-1 with Ignition and poneytails. Squats, deadlifts and shimmer chapstick. Never underestimate the power of a girl living to be fit that fights and shows up with her Level-1, Full Mega & M-Factor Goddess in hand...she's not messing around. Play "ALL-IN"...ALL the "Top Dogs" do-- feed your body well, train it and work on it. Where you lack knowledge, study it or reach out to someone who does have knowledge. But, no matter what-- above all, believe in your strength of will and purpose of heart and soul. #BelieveInYou Keep your chin up. You don't need to have it all figured out yet, that is what this journey is for-- living experiences that teach us. I have always been about finding the knowledge to reach my next goal...when we find out we need knowledge so we can get to the next goal, we have to realize; it's all about going after it, feeding our mind, practicing on ourselves or friends or WITH friends...and, ultimately not being afraid to fail and fall on our face a few times to end up as the person reaching out his or her hand down the next time to help the next girl or guy rise up when he or she falls. Forge ahead and don't doubt yourself. You. Are. Strong. Nothing can stop you...it seriously can only delay you, for a minute or two. I have been failing forward my whole life and I feel deeply about that...and, if YOU are reading this right now, you my favorite person because you know that I know fear, self-doubt, insecurity, shame and pain...and, I realize that they are all part of this journey. And, because of feeling all those highs, lows and mixed emotions; it is the main reason why I also know what patience, grace, triumph can give you...the WILL TO WIN. I will make it. And so will YOU!!! #strongereveryday

💯🙌🏼❤️🔥🔥🔥 What if I told you 10 years from now your life would be exactly the same? I doubt you'd be happy. So why are you so afraid of change? There is a crack in #everything. That's how the #light gets in. 🙏🏼❤️

What do you want to be? Fit, confident, happy, tenacious, strong, hilarious, cool, hot, radiant, bright and brilliant... The truth is, you can make yourself anything...and, have a lot of fun doing it. But it's up to you to make it happen. You're in charge. You are entirely up to you. Make your body. Make your life. #MakeYourself Exercise not only changes your body. It changes your mind, your attitude and your mood. Create a lifestyle that you can live with. Identify unhealthy habits and replace them with healthy ones. Get creative with your eating and exercise. You decide what counts as a "cheat" meal, find a balance between healthy and indulgent. Knowing what you want gives you power. 👊🏼✨

Set goals. Do hard ass work. Have drive, ambition, ethic and passion always. Never stop working for what you want. If you aren't working toward it or to keep it then you're asking to lose it...there is no in between.

OM@#%!! #legday When your legs are shaking like Elmo during your workout...no wonder why it hurts to stand up or sit down after!! 😫 Be infatuated with the burn because that burn during a workout and that sore feeling after it means change is occurring! #hurtssogood 👊🏼

"A dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work." -Colin Powell My joy will always be found in the work. 🙌🏼❤️ Keep yourself in check. Remember why you are grinding, and you will push harder. Always do your thing. Do it unapologetically. Don't be discouraged by criticism. Pay no attention to the fear of failure because the lesson is far more valuable than success. Take ownership, take chances and have fun. And no matter what, don't ever stop doing your thing.

It's YOU VS YOU until the best version of you emerges. #ownit 👊🏼👑 Personal growth is so important. You should never feel like the same person you were a year ago. Don't be the same person, be better. 🙌🏼 My motivation for working out has always been to have energy and feel confident in myself. Having that feeling outweighs being lazy and eating like crap or binge eating. I think your whole life shows on your face and you should be proud of that. When you work out your body releases toxins and it also releases chemicals called endorphins, which trigger positive feelings and emotions. In other words, exercise is a source of happiness which will make you smile. Every day is a choice.
