❇True personal growth is about transcending the part of you that is not okay and needs protection ✨ In other words, get out of your comfort zone, and spend a little time trekking through new territory. Live. Love. Try. Fail. Try again. Just do it. See what happens. You might surprise yourself.✌ #groweveryday #spiritual #coffee #thoughts #bebrave #happythirties #positivevibes #inspiration #goalsetting

When your dinner is so amazing you want to repeat it. There's a difference this week. I'm being intentional with my food, my workouts, my workload here...everything I'm doing is serving a purpose. Because I'm driving towards goals, I squeeze out any room for temptations or anything that will steer me from them. Be intentional. Consistent. The results will follow. #motivation #inspiration #getfit #absaremadeinthekitchen #momlife #sahm #happiness #mygrind #skinnytofit #happythirties #positivevibes

What I really wanted to do was slap the bacon and tomatoes in between a glob of mayo and mustard, and throw a handful of Gardettos on the plate. Seriously what the hell is wrong with me?!😂😄 Instead, I sautéed some diced zucchini in garlic-infused grape seed oil, sliced up a tomato, and broke apart about 4 slices of uncured natural bacon (baked the night before). Then I added a Flat Out! whole wheat wrap and Sriracha of course . I didn't make it through the entire thing so I saved about half for later. Winning? I say, YES. #nomnom #delish #healthyeatin #cleanereating #musclefuel #allthefood #fitlife #momstrong #embraceit #musclesaresexy #workingonmyshit #skinnytofit #nc

When you've already taken your preworkout and you try to reconsider actually working out. And then, it kicks in. Nope, not happening. I'm getting this shit done. #zinging #feelintingly #gamefaceon #energizzzzzed #messyhairdontcare #mondays #goals #progress #biggirlthoughts #bolderband #bodyafterbaby #mommytummy #diastasisrecti #filipino #asian #skinnyfat #skinnytofit

I woke up to a rude awakening this morning, 14 years ago. My stomach was turning. I couldn't stop watching the horror unfold on live TV. I couldn't focus on anything but the tragedy right in front of my face. I remember asking myself "Can this be real?!" Before September 11th, I decided to join the military for myself. Sick of college, I was set to go. My paperwork signed, I just needed an oath, a plane ride and a bus to take me to the gates. But once this day happened, I had new purpose. My mindset had shifted. It was no longer for me, but for my #country. For those who no longer couldn't. For our #freedom. Little did I know I wouldn't see foreign shores for this cause. I was a naive 19yo with a deep #desire and #passion to do something when I felt helpless. To be part of whatever I needed to be a part of, to take action against these terrible attacks. It is still hard to think about. Talk about. It rocked me to the core, as I know it did for so many others, especially for the families and friends who were directly affected. Another day in history that will haunt America forever. 🌟I will always remember.🌟

Our idea of perfection is deeply rooted within our own personal opinions and beliefs. It's all relative. Built from insecurities, things we perceive as unattractive, pieces of us that are broken, parts we want to exchange... Some are affected so much by this, that in their mind perfection is not a goal they can achieve. Screw that. Screw perfection. Get back to the basics, re-wire your way of thinking, and learn to love and appreciate yourself all over again. From there, you will build upon a foundation of self-love and acceptance, not negativity and bitterness. To me, it will always be about progress. If I ever believed that I attained perfection, that would mean there is nowhere else to go. The long journey is done. Nope, not buying that depressing shit. When we hit that goal, we go even bigger next round. We are always and forever going to be on a journey. 🌠Strive for PROGRESS and being 1% better than you were yesterday, and you are already coming out on top.✨

I find that I am always in the kitchen sautéing or dicing or boiling something. It's a lot of work up front. I don't always find joy in spending so much time in there. But, there's a certain type of high, a #happiness that comes with putting good food on my plate and in my body. It's #dedication both on my plate and in the gym. ❇Suck it up now so you don't have to suck it in later✨ #worknowplaylater #absaremadeinthekitchen #musclefuel #illcookforyou #welcometomykitchen #gainsstartinthekitchen #Sriracha #guerrillachef

Let me tell you about how badly I do not want to be awake right now.😣😧😳😪 I'm trying to get back to my normal 5am routine though so these first few days of waking up earlier and earlier have been painful.😬😁 Slammed some preworkout and the #cdj I believe is a 30-min workout with Autumn Calabrese. Love her😍 Lower complex, let's go! #thursday #effort #wakemeup #5moremin #21df #fitmom #bodyafterbaby#goals #skinnytofit #momstrong #feelintingly #gamefaceon #energizzzzzed #zinging #slayon

Not only was it a colorful day in the kitchen, it all tasted so amazing. I was a happy girl. My main meals: 🕖 2 eggs I semi-hardboiled (thought I'd try to be fancy😧) an avocado | sautéed bell peppers and onions | whole wheat toast with coconut oil in place of butter 🕚 salad of mixed greens | half of a chicken sausage | lightly sautéed leftover broccoli | sautéed bell peppers, onions, minced garlic | homemade dressing (balsamic vinegar, olive and grapeseed oil combo, garlic and onion powder, and a 1/2 t of Sriracha😨) Added some feta😁😣 🕡 One big zucchini hollowed out and stuffed with a mixture of turkey and sautéed onions, and garlic, topped with a simple marinara and....more feta. I had to finish the container. Then I baked it for probably 20 min on 350. *everything in this picture was touched by Sriracha powder🔥🙊

I told myself no progress pics. So this is me documenting my sweaty everything. I did Insanity Max this afternoon as our group's #cdj Technically, I maxed out at 15 minutes then just modified the rest of the time.😭😰😆 But I completed the 30 min and did not throw up.🙌 #cardiokiller #sweatybetty #fitmom #bodyafterbaby #mommytummy #skinnytofit #strongnotskinny #transform #focus #momstrong #nc #enc #happythirties

About to push play on another Shaun T workout today and I'm posting this video as a reminder of last Friday - when I survived a different workout of his. I showed a couple different ways to modify if you can't do all of the jumping around. I am also trying a different preworkout. I only had the one we offered called E&E. But this other stuff, Energize, is amazing. Back down to 1 scoop, but twice the energy. It'll definitely carry me through this. But rememeber, the physical aspect is only part of it; the other part is mental. When you don't think you can go on any longer, you're going to have to reach into your soul and pull that energy out. Mentally focus on that last 30 seconds, that last rep, that last 1/4 of a mile. When your head is in the game, you'll surpass any self-doubt and limitations you put on yourself.🙌💪 If this was helpful let me know. I'll make more videos. #readysetsweat #challengeyourself #fitmom #throwback #wednesday #nc #ncblogger #skinnytofit #strongnotskinny #transform #focus #momstrong

This picture pretty much sums up my every day. Good healthy food and my babies. 🔸2 eggs scrambled | sauteed broccoli with minced garlic | Sriracha🔸 As much as I use #Sriracha, I should buy in bulk. Purchase stock. Wear them on a t-shirt.👈Ooh I already checked the box on that last one.😉😁 Did you know that there is a documentary on Sriracha? Surprisingly, I haven't watched it yet. It's on the agenda.🙊😆 #cleanereating #healthy #breakfast #latergram #momlife #myeveryday #fitstyle #strongnotskinny #absaremadeinthekitchen #musclesaresexy
