With how obsessed I am with my dog I can’t imagine what I will be like when we have human children 😂.

Do you ever look at yourself in the mirror and go “is that really me?” This could be a positive or a negative question but, regardless, it’s funny how sometimes we don’t even recognize ourselves. I had that moment today when working out. It’s amazing how day to day we may not notice changes but over time we can tell just how much change we have made.
I took this weekend to catch up on a ton of work I had been putting off. I stepped away from social media and focused on research and putting together the free group I am running this week. I set a goal, and I crushed it. I edited two book chapters, two papers to resubmit to journals, and set up my whole week of crockpot recipes. This weekend was EXACTLY what I needed after the headspace I have been in recently. So here is to making Monday amazing and continuing on this productive path.
I used to not make exercise a priority. I told myself I had “so much” else to do. When I did go to the gym, I went for hours upon hours, typically doing cardio, and was mad that I wasn’t seeing any results. But the truth is I wasn’t consistent and I wasn’t working my body correctly. But for 20 months now I have been consistent with my exercise (and nutrition) thanks to amazing support, accountability, and programs that tell me exactly what to do. I have gone from a size 6 to a size 2. I have increased my weights from 2.5 - 10 pounds, to 5 - 30 pounds. But most of all, I FEEL better. Like Elle Woods 👱🏻♀️ said “Exercise gives you endorphins, endorphins make you happy.”
#throwbackthursday to 10 years ago 😱 when I was a freshman in college. I tend to refer to myself as “hot mess Jess” because that’s the best way to describe who I was at 18. I was 1,000 miles away from my family and friends, not in a good place mentally (or physically), and really was trying to figure out who I was. Some people peak in college, I like to think I wasn’t one of them 😂 I am so much happier and healthier than I was 10 years ago and hope to continue to move in a forward direction. Like a fine wine 🍷some of us get better with time, and I like to think I am one of those people.
I woke up this morning with no desire to work out at all. However, I pushed myself to get it done and felt great after. As I was getting ready i turned on the news to see so many positive results from the election yesterday that give me hope moving forward. Today is going to be a good day. - - - - - #healthylifestyle #fitphd #fittherapist #fitwife #clinicalpsychology #psychologyphd #phdlife #gradschoollife #puppymom #cavapoomom #fitfromhome #selflove #lifestylechange #fitstudent #svuaddict #edwarrior #mentalhealthawareness #ilovesourpatchkids #suicidepreventionadvocate #youareincontrolofyourreactions #emotionregulation #findyourcopingskills
I meant to post this picture this morning but life got in the way 🤷🏼♀️ I realize I haven’t been as active with my posts, stories, or health & fitness biz but internship is keeping me plenty busy. But just because I’m busy doesn’t mean I’m not staying on track, and I have my accountability group to thank for that. If it wasn’t for daily check ins in this community I would have fallen off the wagon a long time ago. - - - - - #healthylifestyle #fitphd #fittherapist #fitwife #clinicalpsychology #psychologyphd #phdlife #gradschoollife #puppymom #cavapoomom #fitfromhome #selflove #lifestylechange #fitstudent #svuaddict #edwarrior #mentalhealthawareness #ilovesourpatchkids #suicidepreventionadvocate #youareincontrolofyourreactions #emotionregulation #findyourcopingskills
After checking the weather this morning I said to Spence “ Today I’m going to dress like it’s fall.” What he heard was “Today I’m going to dress like an adult.“ you know, same difference right? 🤷🏼♀️ dressing like fall aside, I am extremely excited for this Monday because it is my first day on my second rotation. I hope everyone has a great Monday! - - - - - #healthylifestyle #fitphd #fittherapist #fitwife #clinicalpsychology #psychologyphd #phdlife #gradschoollife #puppymom #cavapoomom #fitfromhome #selflove #lifestylechange #fitstudent #svuaddict #edwarrior #mentalhealthawareness #ilovesourpatchkids #suicidepreventionadvocate #youareincontrolofyourreactions #emotionregulation #findyourcopingskills
