when I say that reframing changed my life, I mean that wholeheartedly, with no exaggeration.

this isn’t just positive thinking. this is training your brain to default to the positive instead of the negative. anyone can do it - i fully believe that because i watched it transform my own life.

i found the best way to practice it is to actually write down the negative experience you are having and then make a list of ways that you can reframe it. keep coming back to the list so that every time your brain triggers that negative emotion, you point it in the other direction. eventually, your brain will begin to default to that direction.

it has worked for me with small things, like simple everyday annoyances and big things like a midlife existential crisis 😅

i hope you try it and i hope it helps ☺️ by @missorrell

NOTHING!! nothing happened! 🤭

you aren’t going to lose your progress if you miss a day, let alone a week or even two weeks.

life sometimes lifes - i was out of town and then under the weather. i controlled what i could (food and steps), but i gave my body the rest it needed and sometimes that’s the best thing you can do.

the reality is - you are the result of what you do consistently, and what i have done most consistently for the past 25 years is work out 3-5 times a week and eat healthy.

being fit can be hard, but it’s not complicated. boring things done consistently will win every time.

so if you need a break, take a break. if you’re just getting started and you fall off, just get back on. your body will thank you either way. 👊🏼 by @missorrell

hot take - i don’t think skincare has to cost a fortune. i have used SO MANY PRODUCTS through the years, including expensive ones, but this is what is currently in my line up (a lot of it is from the drugstore) and i think my skin looks great (especially for 45 years old). i do splurge on a couple hero products, but i keep the rest inexpensive and simple.

all of that to say, i do think great skin is an inside job - drinks lots of water, get electrolytes, limit (or no) alcohol (it wrecks your skin), and eat lots of fruits and veggies.

and wear sunscreen!! i do not walk out of the house without sunscreen on my face (my body is another story but there is a laser for that 😂).

everything is linked in my bio (except the skin brightening pads - reach out to @ageless_remedies directly for those)! let me know if you have any favs i’m missing 👀 by @missorrell

here are a few things i’m prioritizing over the coming months.

just know this - it’s never too late to start over. it’s never too late to reinvent yourself. you can be ANYONE you want to be, and sometimes not having a plan IS the plan 🥰 #jjyapchallenge taken in Charlotte, North Carolina by @missorrell

just a lil bit of my life lately ☀️👯💦🌱 by @missorrell

here are a few of the workouts i’ve been doing lately 💪🏼

my typical week is @ultimate_crossfit704 3-4 times a week, @y2yoga 1-2 times a week and walking as much as possible. i am REALLY BIG on listening to my body, so if i’m tired, have a tweak or get super sore, i will take a rest day. it’s so important to listen to your body (especially as you age).

the thing i love about crossfit is 1. the community. i get to go see my friends every day and that’s the best part 🥰 2. the dedicated progressive overload strength cycles. this is what has made the most impact on my physique, for sure. 3. it’s fun, kind of like gym class as a kid, and it’s totally scalable - some days i go in and crush it, some days i go in and phone it in, but it’s great to have something where i am in charge of the intensity.

hope this helps inspire you to move your body - whatever way you’ll do it consistently is the best way for you! 👊🏼 by @missorrell

being an adult means we have to figure what to eat. everyday. for the rest of our lives. UGH! 😂

i love food, but generally find eating to be a pain LOL. i think i would have a chef if i could. BUT SINCE I DON’T, we cycle through maybe 10 or so recipes and eat pretty dang simple at home.

here is what we’re eating on rotation lately. i look for things with minimal ingredients, macro-friendly, and protein forward. swipe for recipes for my recents favs - be warned, i am no chef and we just kinda throw stuff in, so i typed these up as best i could, ☺️ but you kinda can’t mess them up. DM me some of your favorite easy meals! hope this helps 🥰🥰 by @missorrell

i grew up camping, but kind of lost it along the way….as i got older, the trips got bigger and fancier (but arguable not better which is a whole other convo 😇). then 2020 hit and everything closed, we ended up in yosemite that year. it was my very first national park and it quite literally changed my life (if you’ve never been to yosemite - GO). since then, we’ve made it a point to visit a national park every year and get outside as much as possible. autocamp is amazing (we stayed at autocamp yosemite in 2020). you get the best of both worlds - some little luxuries and the great outdoors (plus they are kiddo and doggo friendly). and with this location, you get all the amazing food asheville has to offer just 15 minutes away (we ate THE BEST FOOD omg i’m still not over it). touch grass! you won’t regret it! ⛺️🌳🏞️ taken in Asheville, North Carolina by @missorrell

things i do (and don’t do) that have me in the best shape i’ve ever been in (at 45 years old).

disclaimer: i am no expert and everything here is MY personal experience and what works for me. know that these changes came over YEARS, not days or even months.

focus on the macro > micro - eat whole foods, move your body, drink water, limit alcohol and processed food, and get quality sleep.

you become what you do the majority of the time — consistency > perfection.

hope this helps 👊🏻 by @missorrell
