October so far… 🌿🌀☀️

Life doesn’t need to be perfectly organised to be bloody good… I’m already fkn good 🙌🏽😂

Just living it, feeling it, laughing through it and appreciating every moment that I get to spend with you… you… and you… and potentially you 😂

That’s freedom for me… 🤎 taken in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia by @rach_nolan

Been some time in between visits… but when you go, they all play their part 🌊🌬️

Asked permission of Hinemoana and Tangaroa, and in an instant my wai bottle was replenished… ✨

Enough… and then some.
Abundantly blessed 🤍🌊

Whakatau te wairua ✨🌀🐚🌊

Whole lotta box jumps, shuttle box jumps and breathless burpees 😮‍💨😂

But underneath all the puffing (hands on hips) 😮‍💨 and questioning our life choices… just here building bodies that can do life… 🙌🏽

Jump. Run. Get off the floor. Carry things. Move well. Move strong… 🙌🏽 Daily deposits into the body we want to keep living in 💪🏽

That’s CrossFit in Northgate 📍 @crossfitdesire

Strong things for real-world living. 🫶🏽🔥

Training like any other day… giving the Service Cup workouts a real, honest, scaled go…

Shuttle runs though… the effort 👀😂

And if you know my circumstances, I am aware.
I’m asking my tinana to come with me on this one.
I believe in it. I trust myself to shuffle. It’s only a few times… and right now, that’s all I can ask of myself ☺️

Because inner strength starts with the conversation you have with yourself first…

What CAN I do?

And most of the time, mine gives me that cheeky little wink… 😉 you know 😆

“Cos I can with what I have. And that is enough” 🤝🏽
Resilience will look different for every one of us. Wherever yours is right now it only has to belong to you…

Wāhine toa 🖤

79% of my 1RM — 55 $$ cha-ching 💸😮‍💨🏋🏽‍♀️

Knee did GOOD catching the load too 🤝🏽Considering sometime last year 60 $$ on a hang power clean pulled my ITB up real good, I’ve been pretty hesitant to start rolling decent numbers back onto the barbell.

So this one felt different. 55kg. Strong catch. Knee happy… 😮‍💨🤭

Rebuilding strength ✔️
Feeding my face for it ✔️ under fuelling is no joke ladies!

Quietly loving myself and the strength to wield it again🥹🏋🏽‍♀️

Cha-fkn-ching 💸

FIFO Birthday ✈️🎉🌺

We accepted the invite to celebrate our Nana’s sister’s 80th because… we chose to.. 💛

We haven’t seen Aunty Mareta in some time, and truth is, we don’t know when the next opportunity will come.

So… let’s go… ✈️

Underneath it all, we’ve each had our own personal experiences with our Aunty Mareta. Some cool, some yum Kai moments, some wow… and some very much “what the Maryanne Joseph?!” 🤭🤣🤦🏽‍♀️

But family means a little more to me with this one, because this is my Dad’s family… 💛 I think Dad is the favourite 🫶🏽🙌🏽😂

We show up for him. Because through all the years, she has shown up for him in the same way..

So off we go - FIFO vibes to celebrate 80 years of Aunty Mareta… 🌺✈️🎉 love you Aunty 🥰

Dear July,

You gave me a challenge.
And something in me quietly accepted it.

270.0 metres of rowing…

Sounds crazy.

Maybe not.

Maybe it was just a mind and body that decided to keep showing up. It started with 5km. Then 8km. Then longer.

Day after day, rest day was a rest day, sparing time to continue all the way to 31st July.

I can’t really tell you why.

I just know that I can.

It’s the same part of me that used to love running… the part that likes to explore what this body is capable of. To find the edge, then take one more stroke. Not to prove anything to anyone. Just to remind myself that I’m still here.

Still grateful.

Still capable.

Thank you, July.

Now… let’s see what August has to say 🚣🏼‍♀️✨
