I was recently asked of I'm currently building or cutting...

I told them that I'm titling this phase, "I'm just eating and moving my body well while I focus on learning and taking the next steps in my professional journey."

I'm not going to worry about any specific goals for a while, as I feel like that needs to take priority.

And regardless of how other people may portray their lives on the Internet...

I, in fact, can not do it all 😅

So, I am going to take this time to learn, grow, and rebuild.

And my body will look however it looks while I do that.

Because there are all kinds of seasons in life, and not all of them need to be focused on the way we look 🫶

I have a lot of certifications...

Personal training
Nutrition
Behavior Change Specialist
Rest and Recovery

And I have learned from all of them...

But this one?

This one has me lighting up again.

I can't believe I waited so long to do this.

But you know what they say...

The second best time to start is right now.

I can't wait to see where this takes me (and you all) 🫶

More to come!💪 ♀️

I'm a 39 year old woman and I have noticed changes recently.

I know very little about peri menopause and menopause, so I assumed it was something far away.

Something I would deal with when I was older...

No one I know really talked about it other than referencing hot flashes and weight gain, and from what I noticed, that was typically around the age of 45-50 .

So imagine my surprise when I started to feel/sleep/move different, and after a bit of research I found out that peri menopause can start in your 30s and last for SEVERAL YEARS.

Given that a majority of my clients are in the age range peri menopause and menopause, I felt it was time to educate myself, not only for me, but for them as well.

So, this begins my education of all things of health+aging.

If you're hanging around here, you might notice a shift in what I'm discussing, because we deserve to understand what's happening with our bodies and set ourselves up for success when it comes to our healthy lifestyle.

It will be yet another take on STRONG for LIFE....

Because while our bodies, hormones, and lifestyles might be shifting, our goals of having strong healthy bodies will not.

The mental shift from "How small can I get?" to "What else can I do?" is the secret you're looking for, friend.

The results will still come...

But finding out the cool s**t your body is capable of?

That's what will actually change your life 🫶

It doesn't get easier...

The workouts, nutrition, sleep, water intake, etc...

They don't change.

The moves are the same moves.

The weight is the same weight.

The protein is the same protein

You, however...

You get stronger.

You get more knowledgable.

You get more consistent.

The journey and the challenges don't change...

You do.

And that's the whole point.

"I always want more. Not sure if it's a good or bad thing."

I posted that on my page about 17 years ago...

And there was a comment on that post that has stuck with me for almost two decades.

The comment was...

"Depends on what you want more of."

And I think about that comment a lot because the answer is always "more out of life"...

You see, I've always had this restlessness that simmers under the surface.

It typically shows up as a need for a big change or for "more"...

But then there's this other side of me that needs peace...

That needs consistency...

That needs simplicity...

And at times I almost feel childish for not being able to just settle.

But I just can't.

And therein lies my struggles.

The anxiety.

The exhaustion.

The struggle with making decisions.

It all stems from the issue that I'm at odds with myself.

The side of me that has this restlessness that is begging me to make a move or do something different keeps butting heads with the side of me that keeps yelling to "just be content, damn it!"...

But I've been through this enough times to know what side will win out.

Because like I stated 17 years ago...

"I always want more."

Disconnected...

That's the only word for can use to describe how I feel recently.

And I don't mean this in a good way like I'm spending less time on my phone.

No, actually the opposite.

I've been scrolling my life away looking for the missing pieces.

Creativity, purpose... And most of all connection.

But I'm not finding it.

And the crazy thing is that I've never been more busy and social in my life.

Physically, I'm out and about...

I'm talking with people, having fun with my kids, walking in the sunlight.

I truly feel like this is the best I've ever shown up as a parent.

But in other aspects of my life, I'm frustrated...

I'm not sure what I want or how to move forward.

I feel like every move I make is wrong so I keep avoiding decisions that I know I need to make.

And that's pushing me into a dark place of exhaustion and pushing people away because I'm tired of feeling like I'm failing....

And then that causes anxiety and I feel like I keep running on this hamster wheel but I'm never getting anywhere. Never moving forward.

And if you're wondering why I'm sharing this, honestly, me too 🤷 lol

It just feels heavy right now...

And sometimes the only way to more forward is to put some of it down.

I could have picked from thousands of progress pictures on my phone...

That's not an exaggeration.

For a decade I've stood in front of a camera and took pictures from different angles so I could assess my body and if it was good enough, thin enough, fit enough...

News flash... It never was.

Now don't get me wrong, I'm not avidly against progress pictures for the sake of seeing muscle built, etc.

In fact, I took some a few weeks ago.

But back then, I wasn't trying to collect data to see if I was getting stronger or healthier.

No, back then my body was a problem to fix.

And the pictures I took showed me exactly what my worst problems were...

Once I could see just how awful I looked, I made a list of my flaws and then I would get to work "fixing it".

But it never worked. You know why?

Because there was ALWAYS another issue, another area with fat, another body part that didn't live up to my standards.

Because the issue wasn't my body, it was my brain.

I had no worth outside of having a thin body...

But as the years have gone by I've learned about grace, and health, and peace.

The way I measure success now is so far from what it used to be...

I no longer care about the scale. I care that my body is healthy and I am happy.

I no longer care about a lower belly pooch. I care that I am able to move well and play with my kids.

I no longer care about how little I can consume. I care that I'm am well fed and feel good.

I no longer care if I have done enough *cough* too much *cough* cardio. I care if I'm able to do all the cool s**t I want to do and if my body is ready for whatever life throws at me.

Progress pictures can be a great way to measure success.

Just make sure you're measuring the important things 🫶

Let's get out there...

Yes, let's get outside...

But mostly I mean go LIVE.

A strong body is meant to be used.

Make sure you're strong for LIFE 💪⛰️☀️
