An amazing 6 months for @lift_with_emily 

Between these 2 photos is a net loss of 40lbs of scale weight

Between now and ending the active dieting phase, we’ve added over 1,000kcal per day back into her diet and reduced cardio drastically 

One of my favorite parts about working with Emily is her ruthless level of consistency and adherence. We’ve been working together for a full year, and I can count on one hand the amount of times adherence was under 10/10, and I wouldn’t even need to use all my fingers

There wasn’t

“I had a tough day at work so I went off the plan”
“I was stressed so I didn’t go to the gym”
“I needed a treat so I had XYZ”

You can’t expect real change when anytime life presents an obstacle, you use it as an excuse to fly off the rails

It’s only up from here

Hiiiii you guys!! 🥰

I came across some photos and videos from this time two years ago and felt led to share because I am so proud of myself!

My fitness journey started almost 7 years ago, and it has started, stopped, and restarted more times than I care to count. For a long time, I didn’t believe I could do any better than what I had already done, and I believed that if I wanted to be fit, I couldn’t be happy.

GIRL! If that wasn’t a lie from hell! I could not strive for perfection if I wanted to succeed, because I will never be perfect. I had to introduce love, grace, trust, and forgiveness toward myself.

My journey hasn’t been without faults or mistakes, but when I chose grace instead of shame, I gave myself permission to be HUMAN… and to start again the next day.

Thank you, Jesus, for showing me what perfect grace, love, and forgiveness looks like so I can try my best to reflect those things in my own life. And thank you to everyone who has encouraged, supported, and loved me through this journey.

🤍 february things I’m looking forward to:

• more work dates with husben - being productive in a coffee shop with my favorite person? (with no toddler?) say less

• I love any excuse to celebrate, I love a theme, I love girl dates and also husband dates. I see no downside.

• my brain that thrives on novelty, caffeine and intense music is readyyyy for my next season of fitness goals!!

• this studio is the biggest dream I’ve ever attempted in my business and also my biggest challenge. embracing the learning curve and enjoying every minute it exists. 

• slowly starting to offer more business mentorship options for more than just photographers and oh my gosh 😭 what do you meannnnnn I get to help other people grow their business and get excited about it?!

I know few people read captions these days but after the January that we shall never speak of again - I’m holding onto happy little things and choosing hope (: 

I’d love to hear if there’s anything you’re looking forward to this month!!

Hii finally back home and coming up for air!

Heart so full after my first show. Had no expectations going into it and just wanted to get on stage finallyyy. 

This sport is a weird one in that placings are far less meaningful than you’d think—the accomplishment is really about the journey in getting to the stage. Placings are so dependent on who shows up that day; you could win one weekend, compete a week later looking exactly the same, and get your shit rocked and get 5th place lol. 

But since ik everyone is curious hahaha, my class placings were: 1st in true novice, 3rd in novice, 4th in open

Feedback was that shape is really good but I need to grow, which is exactly what we expected. Our plan is to come in a little tighter for the next show in two weeks and try to get those tie ins to pop a little more. 

Was cheered on by friends and fam and got to hang out w everyone and eat after finals. It was a really good night. Went to sleep w my belly and heart so very full 🥰. Huge thank you to everyone cheering me on and blowing up my phone from home too!!! Love you guys sm!!!!

Back to work today tho, as we have several more lbs to drop by the next show on Dec 6!
