My journey with getting stronger and healthier both inside and out

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

This week was hard to feel motivated but it also reminded me that workouts aren’t a chore they are a choice. I choose to spend time on me and I need to remember to show up in this space with a quiet mind! This is self care, this is time I get to leave everything at the door and be present. by @tabistrong

The past couple years my skin has had a mind of its own! I have tried so much and it’s still a journey I am on but I am excited to introduce into my skin care line, not only a local (aka bestie of mine) but also all natural beef tallow! A community collaboration that has garden grown flowers and naturally infused oils into the tallow! Can’t wait to update you all! by @tabistrong

Okay everyone !! It’s 2025, new year brings new opportunities and I want to capitalize on those new opportunities! Each month I want to challenge myself with something that I either struggle with or something that will push me outside of my comfort zone!

For the month of January my goal is to show up more naturally and feel beautiful doing it! Allowing myself to look in the mirror and be enough without covering up insecurity! I am looking forward to it and will keep you updated ! by @tabistrong

It has been a while… what I have been learning is that in order to live freely and be present you must learn to shut your mind off even in the storm of fear! The hardest thing for an overthinker like me is to shut my brain off. It will take time but I am enjoying the experience to be calm in every moment! By meditation, stopping my morning runs/walks to listen to the energy around me, watching nature brew a storm, and listening to my environment instead of my thoughts I am feeling closer and closer to creating calm instead of chaos every day! by @tabistrong

LISTEN TO THIS!!

One of my biggest frustrations right now is “why after all the work I have I done do I still feel like this?” But in reality I have never felt this way before because I have never been in the same situation. There has never been a time in my life with no volleyball, no school, no external accountability. It is so important to know that every chapter, every new year, even every day in your life brings new challenges, new feelings, new accomplishments! Understanding to be kind to yourself at every stage in your life will allow the notion that I did the work I’m good forever to dissolve. A new stage in life and a new day (though different amounts of time) provide new opportunities! So what are you doing with your new opportunities? Are we in the past or are we allowing ourselves to continually move forward! by @tabistrong

LETS TALK RESET DAYS

Lately I’ve been feeling all over the place but also no where at all! I was able to have an amazing reset day. I completed so many tasks and was able to clear my space so I can create an environment where I can clear my head. I have been trying to reset back to routine and staying disciplined but felt like I was drowning with all my to do’s. Sometimes it takes realizing you need to dedicate a day to getting crap done! Take your down time but also take your reset time to be able to create sustainability for yourself ! by @tabistrong

Well today I turned 25 and as I reflect on the past 25 years I am filled with so much gratefulness but also with some internal frustration. I feel as though this picture is a perfect representation of how I feel lately; blurred, hidding behind my overthinking brain and not allowing my beauty to shine! I’ve been struggling lately mentally feeling confident with who I am and living in the present moment. As I look back on 25 years I wondered how many of my years, weeks, days I’ve spent thinking about myself and how I feel or look or want to change and it’s frustrating to say that I feel as though I’ve spent 90% of that time analyzing instead of living! I feel as though I am constantly learning lessons and learning about myself which is important but I also don’t want to spend my whole life focusing on what I need to do or how I need to feel and instead of thinking I want to just feel. Instead of planning I just want to do and instead of wishing I had this or that I want to live in the space that is grateful for what I do have! Here’s to another year of growth and a new year of living in the right now! ❤️ by @tabistrong

One of the hardest things about transitioning from being a post secondary athlete to a retired athlete is redefining workouts. As an athlete a workout is at least an hour of intense heavy lifting, interval training, pushing your limits constantly and not feeling satisfied until you are physically exhausted and either sweating profusely or your muscles are so tired that the walk to the car is a struggle! Now the struggle is not feeling guilty or unsuccessful after a half hour of purposeful movement that feels good! I completed a half hour of yoga that was still intense and I know my muscles were working but I wasn’t dripping sweat or exhausted. It’s important to remember that movement is movement and it’s the fact that I showed up for myself that matters not that I burn myself out but that I re-energize myself!! by @tabistrong

Wellll my first official workout since retiring from post secondary sport. (Seriously this is my first) I’m not going to lie I have been really struggling to find my why and find what I want to do. I have been going really crazy and letting go of moderation but in simple terms I think I went from one extreme of being an athlete to the opposite extreme of letting loose. I am starting a new a journey and I am working really hard on using this journey and everything I have learned to do it right and do it healthy! I am focusing on feeling healthy and nothing else. No diets, no measurements, no tracking! So let’s buckle down and join me on this new adventure !! by @tabistrong

TABI TIDBIT
Lots going on lately and totally forgot about my accountability but here is my catch up!!

To summarize :
Tidbit #1 : Stop putting pressure on yourself to please others before pleasing yourself! Or even stop trying to please your idea of what you think people expect of you! Do it for you!!!

Tidbit #2: Surround yourself with people who match the energy you put into them! When people genuinely care about you they will put you first the way you put them first ! Enjoy and embrace the people around you who keep you going!!!

Tidbit #3: Fuel yourself the way you WANT too! It looks different for everyone but it doesn’t mean what you’re doing doesn’t measure up to what others are doing! As long as you are doing what YOU need to feel good you are WINNING!!!

Keep going because you CAN and WILL do it! And remember you are doing an amazing job!
