When you look in the mirror are you inspired by the what you see? 

There is one thing that comes to mind as I stare into this mirror… “The ability to get up after you have fallen and keep trying is more inspiring than succeeding on the first time” 

So many feels this week- 

I’ve fallen off my macros more times this week than I’d hoped but I kept trying… out side of that I crushed workouts and kept trucking through Insanity Max 30 and I crushed 17.1 in the CrossFit Open!


On top of an amazing finish I even won a lululemon giveaway! Whaaattttt! 


Thanks @MarvelousPerformance for hosting Friday Night lights! Can’t wait for this Friday! 17.2!

I strongly believe in order to be successful in fitness and health you must surround yourself with inspiring and positive people too! 

Saturday we spent the day kicking off 2017 Avon 39 walk to end breast cancer! Me and my girls of Team Fearless Fitness will work to raise over $12,000 this year in the fight to end breast cancer!!!

it’s time to #GetMyShitTogether 


So we are all prepped for lunch and dinner, macros in check- workouts planned, ready to kick this week in the ________(fill in the blank 😂). 

Can’t wait to crush it this week! I hope you are too!

Sleep, you love it and your body needs it!

Day 2! Today was my first hybrid day of Insanity and Crossfit 😳

Here is where sleep comes into play… in order to get have maximum results my mind and body must be prepared to deliver. Sleep patterns help with this. 

We all know typically you need 7-8hrs of sleep for you body to have adequate energy but did you know that also contributes to metabolism, over eating and ultimately your end weight loss goals. 

Studies show, and trust me I personally agree, that people who are, in a sense “running on fumes” are more likely to nosh on 3-400 times more calories and binge on sugary/ salty snacks! 🤦🏻‍♀️🙋🏻 hi guilty right here! 

So last night was about sleep! And today was about crushing it! 


If we push ourselves, we truly have no limit!

Food… yep, sleep eat repeat! 

I’ve done well in this category today! I discovered a new way to enjoy a protein packed yogurt snack- and I feel like I’m in Hawaii!! 

1 packet Devoution Nutrition Flex Flavor: coconut biscotti (taste tropical though)! 

10 almonds

1 container of 0% Fage Greek yogurt, plain 

Oh and Shakeology  drank separately of course 💪🏽😍


And last but not least I returned from Crossfit to receive my February Barbella Box, curated by Brook Wells! 💕💕

What a fab ending to my day! If you love Crossfit you  have to check out Barbella, amazing goodies every month, why not!! Like a present to yourself 😍

Well fitties! My present to you is a virtual high five ✋ have a fantastic night!

The Open 17.1 will be announced tomorrow! Stay tuned ✌🏽💪🏽

And end of an era?

” I think you can be completely happy in one part of your life, yet still fell compelled to want more from something…someone…it’s what keeps us curious and motivated to never give up hope in finding miracles. “

So much has happened these past weeks…. how do I even start.

I quit my job of 9 years…. I feel liberated…. I am now at a new company, in the heart of the FinTech world–meet my team… they are amazing! Each person I have met has a unique personality that compliments mine so well.

We are fun! The vibe is energetic and I could not be more happier!

Outside of having a kick @$$ job I have been traveling around to be with my amazing family and friends!

  • Thanksgiving in Auburn
  • Holiday Ale Fest in Portland
  • Oh and did I mention……. I turned 29!!!

 

Thanksgiving– A-M-AZE-ING food and the best company!

My sisters love flew in from WI and we all trucked in from the Bay to make it not only a holiday extravaganza but a surprise 60th to my momma!

 

Shortly after the thanksgiving holiday I got back to celebrate my new gig! I started a brand new career on my 29th birthday! The happiest day ever! I celebrated with an amazing dinner with amazing friends!

img_0941

Birthday gifts shown: New nespresso, apple iWatch 2 and some amazing flowers from my bestie!

After a full week of training off to PDX I went!

Bitter sweet as I said goodbye to some of my good friends…. not really goodbye but see you later girls ❤

So now 29 is here…. and I am completely happy…

Of course there is one tiny piece of my life that could use some revamping but what person doesn’t have that? I mean we are human right…?

I have a few goals for 2017 that honestly can’t wait until the new year… So I am going to lay them out now:

  • I refuse to settle… not in my health, my fitness or my relationships
  • I promise to remain active daily but allow my self rest to achieve my results
  • I promise to get rest… actual rest!
  • I promise to be happy, not the fake shit.
  • I will try something new every month, a new wine, dessert, food, exercise, etc.
  • I will lift myself up and others around me
  • I WILL NEVER GIVE UP

The list could go on but we would be here for the whole night…

This year is about living my life 100% to the fullest. It is about going out of my 20’s with a bang and making sure that it is the best year of my life.

I am making 2017 mine… are you?
