POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

He was a way better grandfather than he was a father. When I was younger, I resented how he treated my mother and brother. He always had a soft spot for me but I wasn’t spared from his frequent alcohol induced rage and tantrums. As I got older, I understood more about the whys of his behavior. While it never excuses it, I was more understanding. On top of his health issues, I’m pretty sure my father suffered from major depression caused by survivors guilt from his car accident where his brother had tragically passed. I could never understand what he was going through. He wasn’t the type to express his feelings. He kept it bottled up by tipping that bottle up.

As a kid, I feared my father. Never knowing when his next outburst will be. As an adult, I realize he’s a flawed man with many issues he never sought support for. In the end, he was surrounded by people who cared for him and those he cared about.

Rest in Peace, Dad.

Another revolution around the sun — my Dad turns 70 today, and my 44th.

Sharing a birthday with him has always been kind of cool to talk about; but this year hits different. Life comes at you fast, and it reminds you what really matters.

He’s been fighting hard, and all we want is for him to keep finding the strength to keep going. We’re all with you. Love you dad, always. ❤️

Happy Birthday to Us. 🎈🎂

🎂 Birthday Twins! 🎉 🦂

My dad’s 69th and my 43rd, both on November 8th, but celebrated a day later. It feels like just yesterday we were celebrating my mom’s 70th this summer. Time is passing by so fast, reminding us to cherish these moments with family, friends, and loved ones. Another year older, wiser, and stronger together—one more year of growth in every way. Liam and Asher loved the double cake situation—double the sweets, double the joy! Here’s to shared milestones, memories that keep us growing, and my big back activities continuing strong. 🥂❤️ #BirthdayTwins #FamilyCelebration #AnotherYearStronger #Grateful #BigBackActivities #Birthday #Scorpio #ScorpioSeason taken in Queens, New York by @foreveryung81

Today was the day of redemption, and what a beautiful day it was. Trying to avoid a repeat of what happened in Brooklyn back in May, I came into this race with a game plan. A game plan that considered (1) the elevations on this course (at one point, I thought I was taking on “Orange Everest” 🍊🏔️), (2) the myriad of foot and knee issues lately and (3) myself, since I’m my own worst enemy.

After it was all said and done, I stuck to the game plan and finished the race within my goal time. I then headed to the Staten Island FerryHawks stadium, where they hosted the “after run” party. Since I missed out on Coney Island’s famous Nathan’s 🌭 in May, I treated myself to a double on Staten Island. When I tell you they were the most mediocre dogs I’ve ever had - super disappointing! 🤦🏻‍♂️

Until the next adventure...but for now, my race day dump:

Over the past week, we celebrated my incredible mom’s 70th birthday with an unforgettable Royal Caribbean cruise to Nassau, Bahamas 🇧🇸; Falmouth, Jamaica 🇯🇲; and Georgetown, Grand Cayman 🇰🇾! 🌴🚢

Mom, you embody selflessness and hard work, always putting Andy (@greenoak1122) and me first. You are one of the hardest-working and most self-sacrificing women we know, and we love you with all our hearts. ❤️

As this amazing cruise draws to a close, we reflect on the beautiful memories we’ve made and look forward to the exciting new chapter of your life. Here’s to many more birthdays and wonderful moments to come. 🙏🏼

While I’ve thoroughly enjoyed this week of cruise life and indulgence, I’m eager to get back to shedding off this vacation weight – but it was well worth it!

We love you, Mom! 💞💞💞🩷

❤️‍🩹 3:37 Finish time

Yesterday’s race didn’t go as planned but I crossed the finish line of my very first Brooklyn Half Marathon.

Leading up to the event, I faced some challenges. My right knee wasn’t at 100% after running in Thailand without my regular trainers, and two days before the race, my lower back started tightening up. Despite these issues, I felt surprisingly good on race day.

Everything was going smoothly until mile 10, when a sharp, burning sensation hit my left hamstring. No biggie, I thought—I downed my last electrolyte gel pack and pushed on. But by mile 11, both legs started cramping badly. I hobbled to a medic station where I got some much-needed help with biofreeze, Gatorade, pretzels, and ice packs.

Determined to finish, I left the station. Between mile 11 and 12, the pain became almost unbearable. My legs locked up multiple times, and had to endure intense muscle contractions. At the next medic station, I faced a tough choice: call an ambulance or wait for the sweeper bus. I refused the ambulance and, after some thought, opted for the sweeper bus.

Sitting there, I realized I couldn’t let this nightmare scenario end my race. I got up and started the last 2+ miles, walking as fast as I could. I didn’t want to risk getting stranded without medics, but I pushed through. Near the finish line, a friend (who only has achieved the Abbott World Marathon Six Star Finisher 😭) had just completed his run encouraged me and gave me some electrolytes.

The dream first half marathon didn’t go according to plan. During the run, I saw a sign that said Nathan’s Famous Glizzies at the end of the race, and I thought to myself, as the unofficial glizzy gobbling Champion of Queens, I need to show Brooklyn how it’s done. Unfortunately, the line at Nathan’s was insane, so no glizzy for me—I settled for an extremely underwhelming Popeyes chicken sandwich and went home.

Thank you for everyone who was tracking my run and checking in on me 🙏🏼. I’ll be back, stronger tomorrow.

Started today with on or around 699 OTF classes taken and ended with 2 more. What a journey it’s been and appreciative to being able to add to that growing number.
Much thanks to @coach_lori_ who also coached my 500th, I knew ever since taking my first class with you that you were going to be great for @otfnewhydepark ☺️. Thanks to @jillthomass for the excellent camera work 😉.

Quick shoutout to my BFF @reggielo24 who’s been by my side from my lows and highs. You were there telling me shit that I needed to and wanted to hear, but most importantly telling me shit that I did not want to hear but needed to hear.

Another quick shoutout to @lamarpinson @jointheprotocol. I’ve been working with Lamar over the last few years and he’s played a large role in the person I’ve become today. I’ll make a special tribute in about 6 weeks for you 😂.

And yes, I wear 2 watches 😭. Also, patiently waiting to being able to indulge on Costcos food court chocolate chip 750 calorie cookie (yes singular cookie 😩).

I’m blessed (and a little embarrassed 😂) to share that I hit my 500th @orangetheory class this morning! It’s been an incredible journey and I’m grateful to be part of such an amazing and inspiring community.

I want to give huge shoutouts to all the Coaches and Staff who have been there to guide me and push me to be my best self. But I also want to acknowledge the other members who show up day after day who inspire me with their own dedication and hard work.

Being part of this community has been an important part of my journey towards becoming a better me. I’ve pushed myself harder than I thought possible, and I’ve seen the results both in my physical but most importantly, my mental health. I’m excited to see what the future holds and to continue growing and improving alongside my Orangetheory family.

Thank you @orangetheory for creating such an amazing program and thank you everyone from @otfnewhydepark who have helped make this journey so rewarding. 🍊💕🍊

Also big shoutout to @coach_lori_ for an amazing class!
