Going into the week feeling strong AF!!! Still a little sore from yesterday’s lifting but it’s a good sore…I live for that kind of sore! Back/Biceps done and hopefully heading to boxing here in a bit!

Working out, whether it be lifting or boxing (that’s my jam), that’s the time I focus, come up with a game plan and am able to clear my head so that I can focus on all the million other things that need to be done. Working out is far more than just a workout for me, it’s a reset. Yes, some days it is therapy because I’m working through things and it isn’t always pretty and that’s ok.

I came across this explanation when I was looking for something else, but felt the need to share it. To this day, I still catch a lot of crap from people about working out. I want to add that this is also why I respect the hell outta people who are seriously trying to get fit too. It takes a lot of grit and dedication. No, you’re not going to WANT to do it every day, but if you have a goal in place and people to keep you accountable, that’s where the dedication outweighs the motivation and that’s where the magic begins to happen. Happy Monday y’all!!

Photo and video dump…I swear, the more sore I got, the bigger my smile got. Started the day with Rey and Sagi doing Total Body Hammer. Then off to boxing where I found out that I was going to have a surprise ass kicking at the second class (the combos got the best of me…check my stories 🤣)

Deғeaтed. Loѕт. Ѕcared. Eмвaraѕѕed.

Those are just a few of the emotions I’ve increasingly felt over the last few months. I didn’t think I would still be home a year later.

I thought that I would be back at work or doing what I love full time and rocking it. Neither of which have happened. That’s not to say that as hard as this past year has been that nothing good has come from it. There have been plenty of good things too.

But the weight of responsibility and being the sole provider is taking its toll. On my body, on my mind, and on my soul. I know that there are other women out there like me struggling to figure out this new balancing act. Friend, you aren’t alone. If you need a shoulder to cry on or a friend to vent to, I’m here. Together, we can get through this. Just reach out ❤️
