Also - I can’t count bc that was more than 5 things wasn’t it?

Anyways! I’ve had more ups and downs during mom life alone that feel like my body has been in constant yo-yo status since 2023.

I played sports throughout high school and college, moved to California from Massachusetts at 27 as a way to challenge myself to get outside my comfort zone and have been living life that way for the better part of 13 years.

I’ve had more setbacks than I’d care to admit, IVF was a LOT, postpartum depression hit me like a ton of bricks, and now here I am, newly 40 with a pretty banged up back. But I know this one won’t slow me down - it just changes my approach. I’m hoping that a lifetime of athletics and taking care of myself pays off and I know I’ll come out the other side strong again.

I’m so grateful to those I’ve “met” through this so far and excited to see where this goes. Thanks for sticking around and cheering me on :)

Disrespectfully - do not tell me we all have the same 24 hours either.

I was a 20 something once too that had all the free time to pour into whatever kind of workout I was focusing on. I cannot stand when people compare that lifestyle with this one.

I’m thankful for that time because I got to do, and learn, so much.

But I’m a lot prouder of this version of myself that does what she can to show up for herself and show my little guy what it looks like to work hard, even when (*especially when*) you don’t want to.

For all the other moms or busy women out there that are doing their best (and maybe hanging on by a thread some days😅) I see you!

Keep showing up, keep working hard. This stage of life can be so exhausting but man, do we earn every one of the amazing moments!

And just like that, our regularly scheduled chaos returns.

This is why I love celebrating little victories, because sometimes that’s all I get 🤣🤪

But seriously… I felt like I was on a roll.. I should have known the universe was giggling once we couldn’t decide on what books to read 🫠

If you’re new here, welcome to the chaos. We mom hard, we laugh harder, and we try to maybe squeeze in some workouts when the little ones “allow” it.

Happy you’re here :)

What was your little victory so far this week?

You want to look different?
Work for it.

You want to feel different?
Work for it.

You want a better life?
Work for it.

No one is saying it’s going to be easy, but isn’t everything you ever worked your ass for, and then achieved, so much better because of it?

You want something to change, you have to be willing to do it. So here’s your push.

Send this to someone that might need the reminder.

And come follow along if you feel the same

We start on a random Tuesday.
In October.
At 5pm.
When we’re tired.
Before we’re ready.

We just need to start.

Stop convincing yourself you need to start at the beginning of the week, or month, or year and just do it.

There is no better time than right now to start changing your life.

I’m changing mine at 40 and when there are not enough hours in the day to feel like it’s possible.

My friends are badasses and can do anything they set their mind too. If you’re here, you’re my friend.

I will hype you up for whatever goal you’re trying to achieve, but *especially* if it’s a journey to get faster, stronger, run further, just trying to be the best version of yourself.

I’ve started my “fitness journey” over way too many times to not know how much it sucks - hellooooo presently doing just that, again - I get it and you have me in your corner every step of the way.

Sooo, what’s our goal today? Fill me in. I gotchu 😘

This couldn’t have been better timing. I was up late working on a new project last night and all I could think was “I wish I started this years ago”.

But that’s life right? We put things off or wait for a better time, then kick ourselves when that time passes.

What you do today, sets yourself up for a better or worse 6 months, year, 5 years from today.

Whatever it is you wish you’d done, it’s not too late. Start now. 💙🙌🏻

I may not hit every goal exactly like I planned, but you can bet your ass that if I set my sights on something, I will work harder than I thought possible to achieve it.

I’ve proved it to myself countless times in my life, so when it comes down to it, I won’t let myself doubt.. myself. (Sounds silly saying it like that but you get it!)

So here’s to working our 🍑 off and checking off the next one. Who’s with me?

Okay but seriously- it’s like I get the free time then spend 72% of it stressing over how to spend it. By the time I make a decision, it’s way past my bedtime and clearly I’ve just missed the mark.

Why am I like this?! Please tell me I’m not alone.

What choice do you make when you get the ever elusive free time or do you get decision paralysis too? 😅🫠

Why am I the way I am? I had my phone under my chair, next to a bag, all blocked off and thought I was being so sneaky.

There was basically no one at the pool aside from us and two other ladies but I hadn’t realized he’d come back to his seat bc I’d been reading before that.

Just out here trying to embrace the cringe 😅🤣 it is what it is!

Whats your “omg I got caught” moment?! Please tell me I’m not the only one that’s done this! 🤣

It. Is. The. WORST!!

I’ve been there - I’m there right now again!

Whether it’s starting over after having kids, life getting busy, or recovering from an injury, I have been there.

Right now, I’m desperately trying to recover from a back injury in June that sent me so far backwards.

I’m using my lifetime of sports and fitness, combined with all the info and advice I’m prying from chiropractors, PT, doctors, you name it, to document where I’m at, where I’m going, and taking you with me.

Let’s agree that starting over sucks - it’s even harder when your time is limited, and agree to stick with this so we don’t have to do it again, k?

Follow along if you’re in 💪🏼 we got this.

It’s amazing how your mindset shifts.

I will alway love a beach day.
Palm trees will forever make me happy.

But these little feet? The 284748 questions from a tiny, curious mind?

There was a time I was pretty confident that would never happen for us.

Now, I can’t go two steps without stepping on a monster truck or finding a secret cache of 15 Paw Patrol pups tucked away somewhere.

Toddler life is not for the faint of heart, but I wouldn’t change it for a second.
