Majority of my session consisted of landmine movements and I 100% 10/10 DO NOT RECOMMEND.🫩

I kid I kid. It was fun. 😬

One thing about me, I will not ego lift. I will practice form first before adding any extra weight.

Small beginnings matter and before I know it, I’ll be hauling the big boys but until then, I’ll appreciate what my body is ABLE TO DO and I hope you will too!! 🫶🏾✨ by @lelebelieves

Be the encouragement. Be the support. Be the safe space. Just make sure your own cup stays full, too. We’re better when we pour from the overflow. ✨🫶🏾 by @lelebelieves

Last week, I ran 5 minutes without stopping… then 10, then 16, and now 20! 🏃🏾‍♀️🙌🏾
It was HARD! At minute 17, I had to calm my nerves and remind myself, “I AM OK!”

Running is becoming routine, and I’m proud of my progress!!

Next goal: 2 miles without breaks, no matter the pace!

Until then, I’m working on my heart rate and upgrading my gear. Any running sock or shoe recommendations? ☺️✨ by @lelebelieves

2 years ago I wouldn’t even THINK of setting one foot on the stair master. Today I put on a good podcast, covered the time stamp and just let my will do what it does and got it done. The only time I’ll accept looking back is to see how far I’ve come. Since I got through years of that, I can get through 30 minutes of this!! It all starts with a decision! Whatever your “it” is, you can do it too!!🙂‍↕️✨ by @lelebelieves

I opened my camera roll to delete old workout videos and found proof of how far I’ve come.

Each swipe held a chapter:
✨Grief that learned how to share space with gratitude.
✨Multiple surgeries in four months.
✨Relearning my body, rebuilding my form.
✨Starting over but starting from experience.
✨Feeling alone, longing for encouragement, yet choosing to keep going.

Today, I saw the resilience that carried me through pain and sorrow. A resilience that will carry me into the journeys of tomorrow.

Change begins in the mind.
One decision makes the difference.
If I can continue to see it through, I believe that you can too! by @lelebelieves

One of the most thrilling moments of my life almost faded to the background.
Almost.
Days of excitement.
Days of planning.
Just for the moment to quickly turn into a memory.
How unfair is that?
I earned that moment!
My parents’ support in every step, such a blessing!
The sacrifices they make for their fully grown daughter is nothing to take lightly.
I did that.
We did that.
So many things stacked against me yet and still, I showed up.
That matters.
It all matters.

I find myself wondering “what’s next” but let’s just take a moment, to reflect, that in THIS moment, I did my best! by @lelebelieves

There were so many times when I was physically unable to move my body the way I wanted to. Now that I have the strength I’ve prayed for, I sometimes forget how important it is to rest. I can remember how far I’ve come while also giving myself the space to grow. It’s just as healthy to take a break, it’s just as healthy to reset. I’m no athlete, there’s no need to compete. I’m simply training to be a healthier, happier, stronger…me. by @lelebelieves

And on the fourth consecutive day, with tightness in my quads, with soreness in my calves, with blisters on my feet, I WENT AFTER IT🥹✨🏃🏾‍♀️🤎💪🏾!! There is something special on the other side of sacrifice!! by @lelebelieves

Ain’t NO WAY I invested my funds to just run! Ain’t no flippin way😅🤣!! And on the third day of training for this 5K, I practiced my cadence and paid attention to how my body responded to the constant jog. At about mile 2.3 I started to feel light headed so I took a break and listened to my body. Next time I will be sure to have some electrolytes on hand, this heat is nothing to play with 🥵! Another thing I realized is that it’s best to practice without headphones. That way I could listen to my stride. I noticed that the less my feet hit the pavement, the less exhausted I was. I’m learning more things about my body and what I am able to do and I love this for me! by @lelebelieves

And on this second day of training it came to me, I’m built up for this! I’ve overcome some of the most devastating challenges and have made it through ok! This is bigger than a 5k, it’s another mountain proven to be moved out of my way. Less about the time it takes, more about the barriers this journey breaks! by @lelebelieves

Sometimes the best thing for me to do is to commit first and consider my decision later!! People keep telling me that I should try out for a 5k, I kept saying I would “think about it.” Well, thinking too much about a thing isn’t always the best option. Planning is great, clearly I’m behind the curve on that but it’s cool 🙂. Maybe if I vlog this experience and actually showcase the struggle, I’ll appreciate my decision a little more. It hurts during the process but the reward is much greater when the goal isn’t perfect, it’s progress 🥹🥰✨💚. by @lelebelieves
