Sick start

Crummy start to the new year. 🗓 I've been sick since day one! 🤒 Ugh. I probably should have worked out today, but I just went home had a nice healthy dinner🍽, tea☕️, and rest💤. I feel guilty because this week is going to be busy with appointments after work. I've set my alarm for an AM workout.. Lol 😂. Hopefully, 🙏🏼 I can find the strength in my sickness and laziness to get out of bed a just go! 🙌🏼 This is just the beginning of my "better start" to the personal training process! 💪🏼👊🏼 There is plenty of time. 🕕☺️ 4ish months down ⬇️ 8 months to go! 👍🏼

Closing 2015

As 2015 comes to an end I couldn't be happier. This year was full of life lessons. Most I did not want to learn at this age. But some that made me realize the worthiness of our journeys. Over the years I’ve been through hell and back a few times, but this year was the biggest accomplishment as I learned to dig myself out of a pretty deep hole. After learning that all the time and medicine I went through, in order to freeze and preserve my eggs did not work.. and will not work even in the future. That was the definite answer a young woman does not want to hear. I went on an emotional roller coaster ride for months, many more than I wanted to. I went through stages of emotions: sadness, anger, hate, pity, who cares, etc. I feel like I wasted so many months of this year and I wish I could go back and make that time useful. But we can’t go back. I finally realized worrying about the past won’t change anything and I put the effort into changing my future. I was able to do this when I made acceptance with my situation.  And that was it, the ending I needed in order to start over. I learned that you cannot put a timeline on how long it is going to take to heel. Eventually, one day gets better than the next and so on. There is nothing a person cannot overcome. I was able to look back on the time I “wasted” and realized how these situations create a person. If I never went through this I don’t think I would be as strong and grateful as I am right now. I am alive. I am overall healthy. I am supported and loved. I have seen my whole family jump through hoops for me. I have friends that reach out with care. I have understanding co-workers. I have seen the kindness in strangers. And I hope to see what greatness the world can still offer and teach. Life is short and we need to not take everyday things for granted. I hope 2016 brings a wonderful year to everyone. We need the bad things in life to learn how great the good things are. Accept life how it comes; I now believe acceptance truly can allow us to keep moving forward to the life we all deserve. Hakuna Matata to the New Year, new beginnings, and new outlooks on life. 

That one time I grew a #mustache at a #bacheloretteparty and I thought I was a #hippie 😊🍸✌🏼️

10 days till wedding

10 days until my cousin’s wedding! Cannot wait to be part of this! I may not have reached personal goals I wanted to achieve for myself by this wedding but I have learned to stop living in the past. Some things take time and you can’t put a time line on getting your mind right. Today, I smile more and can accept my medical problems with less anger and that is progress. Now, if fracturing my tailbone couldn’t have come at a better time.. I’m living by the motto “life is what life is."✌🏼 Sometimes life can be really sucky then really good and get really sucky again. Soon enough I will achieve my goals and reach the happiness I deserve ☺️

Today's lunch was very delicious!! #homemade #chipotle #lettuce #brownrice #blackbeans #chicken #salsa #cilantro #redonion 😋 #healthy #humpday

I love new months! It's like a mini new beginning. And I got a feeling this one is going to be a good one. The next half of this year is going to be the shit. #July #new #newbeginnings 😃☀️✌🏼️

Feeling better

The month of June was a great jump start. I finally felt the urge to workout and push myself. That all made me feel so good! Of course working out is supposed to, but the fact that I was actually enjoying my workouts made them that much better! Before I used to never be able to sit down relax for a little after work and then go workout, but I few times this month I didn’t want to workout right away so I relaxed and thought about it. I never crossed off working out completely, and before I knew it I watched a tv show and was putting on my gym shoes. I feel like those are the accomplishments that keep me going! I can see the progress of course I haven't been perfect but the progress is making me happy. I’ve had longer workouts like 90mins and burning 1,000 cals! I haven’t done that in 2ish years. More stretching, strength conditioning, and pushing the cardio. I finally think I’m getting it and I think I’m finally able to move on and feel better over all. Of course the 12 week mark (2 weeks ago) for my cousins wedding is probably setting in because 12 weeks is a perfect amount of time! So the past weeks have been great with workout now just need to incorporate the diet and I will be well on my way! Yay finally feeling better and actually happy! A big regret of mine is quitting working out, but now I learned, see, and feel how important it is for multiple purposes! The past 6 months plus into last year weren’t that great, but this next half of the year is going to be great! Going to have a better attitude, work harder, and enjoy life more :]
