Tomorrow I enter into my 5th month of achilles rehab🩼‼️

Not going to lie; this journey has attempted to break my spirit. I feel like a shell of the person I used to be most days.

From 2 surgeries 6 months apart .. relearning how to walk (low-key just exist), while trying to run and keep growing  my business, a long-distance relationship, be there for my friends and family and honestly show up for myself in a body I no longer know that can no longer do the thing that brought me joy.

I thought the journey was low-key over after I was off crutches, but honestly, that’s where the real work begins. Not just rebuilding what was lost but also trying to keep my mental positive.

I know this is just a season and I won’t always feel like this because one thing about me is I don’t stay down long.

God has really sustained your girl. From the love of friends family, my medical recovery team,  my church community.. i’ve been prayed over and loved on . 

I don’t know why this happened to me while I feel like I was in the height of my career and athleticism it low-key feels so cruel😅… BUT

I know when I come out of this thing, my character is about to be so refined. I know to myself I’ll be unrecognizable! 

I’m a really good hustler for that external stuff but the internal stuff… Your girl needs some work and IS working!

I’m Learning: Patience ( I thought I had that before, but this is next level)

I’m Learning : Who am I when everything I thought made me get stripped away? 

I’m Learning : To ask for help I can’t do everything alone.

I’m Learning : To rely on God like never before, because I literally can’t do this in my own strength.

And lastly I feel like my empathy has grown so much. I feel so much more present and in the moment with whoever I’m interacting with because we all have a story and we all have some challenge that were facing and sometimes people just need to know that they’re loved and heard.

So I as enter in my 5th month i’m not exactly where I had hoped I would be but I’m moving in the right direction and as I always say “ The comeback will have to be studied”😤💪🏾✨❤️.

Two best friends with different goals, but the same mission; to become a healthier and stronger versions of themselves💪🏾🩵🩵

It has been amazing to work with Rochelle and Jade!! They joined the Fit With Vic family with no gym experience, feeling confused and not knowing where to begins 

Since working with them @___shellz has lost 50lbs and is obsessed with dead lifting🏋🏾‍♀️💅🏽.

@_.jadeb has gained close to 20lbs and is hip thrusting more than half of her body weight!🍑💪🏾.

They are both in school full-time have full-time jobs and are thoroughly involved in their community. Truly, I don’t know how they do it! 

Their progress hasn’t been perfect, but something I really do appreciate about them is that they always give their best! Not only have I seen a physical transformation, but I’ve seen a mental one as well that surpasses our time together in the gym!

So if you’re ready to lock in with your best friend and Chase your goals DM “ bestie” and tag them below.

The Fit With Vic family can’t wait to have you❤️.

Before I even had time to make a 2026 vision board,
life said… plot twist.

Hip surgery in July 2025.
Achilles surgery right after.

They say this is one of the hardest comebacks.
They say it takes close to a year.

I’m not rushing it..
but I’m also not counting myself out.

If you’re scrolling this thinking
“yeah… 2026 already feels like a lot,”
you’re not alone. 

This is not what I envisioned for myself. But here I am, and with that I’m gonna give myself all the grace and patience to grieve a loss of the type of year, I thought I was gonna have and learn to adapt with what I’ve been given

So let me ask you this ;what’s something this year has already forced you to slow down, pivot, or rethink… even though it wasn’t the plan?

Drop it in the comments.
I’m right there with you. 
And we’re gonna get through this together🩶🩶.
