What are you chasing?
Some people are trying to get back to a memory, of when they were a different person.

Not me. My younger self did not trust herself, and was a people pleaser. She didn’t have four freaking kids and the experience I have now.

I’m chasing growth and strength. One lift, one day better than the next.

I’m saying no to anything that doesn’t serve MY goals and life standards. I want my clients to feel confident to take up space and know their way around free weights.

😘Sound fun? Lets be friends. #bloomingdale #bloomingdaleil #ltemployee #roselle by @thefitsmith

Never let someone else dictate who you are or what you can do.

Fight your inner critic, and hype yourself up like you would a friend. Hell, I’ll be your hype person!

You never know who’s watching you, looking to you as inspo. I had MULTIPLE come up to me today to share their hype for me. I love the community here at @lifespa.bloomingdale

🔥Are your workouts intense enough?
😴If you are comfortable in your training you might NOT be pushing hard enough to yield results. 😬

🌡️Change happens when we are uncomfortable.
Try to incorporate some harder efforts, 8-9 out of 10, in one of your workouts.

💥You might get better results if you lifted less often, but with MORE intensity.

📅Depending on your goal, aim for 2-3 strength sessions a week; one of them including high intensity intervals/ movements.

I hit a PR today and it made me think.

What am I doing differently?
-eating MORE
-better nutrient timing for PERFORMANCE
-30 g of PROTEIN/ 10g of FIBER at every meal
-more WHOLE foods less packaged goods
-protecting sleep at all costs
-including a stronger cardio plan: aerobic AND anaerobic

Carbohydrates are not your enemy 😘

Deadlifts have been there for me ever since I started my strength journey, and have really helped me reconnect with me as a person versus a wife a mother. by @thefitsmith

“Don’t underestimate the big importance of the small things.” -The Midnight Library

Lately, I’ve been down on myself about things out of my control, despite my best efforts. My ever increasing silver streaks peaking through my purple, insulin insensitivity, perimenopause, etc.

I’m still working on letting go of the scale number, and celebrating all the strong shit my body can do. What’s the saying, “not seeing the forest for the trees.”

Today my client told me her daughters called out her muscles and strength like my own. @coachcourt333 saying I looked like Storm or Rogue from the X-Men. Both were my fave growing up. Much needed small things that lifted me back up So then I went and did these as my 4th set after weighted pull-ups. Felt like a badass again.

You never know the effect you have on others, or how much they might need your kindness. 💜 taken in Bloomingdale, Illinois by @thefitsmith

Maui day 4. Exploring, beach time, and more swimming. Everyone’s asleep by 8pm most nights because it’s non stop movement. Eating what I want and taking a nap by two o’clock most days 😍

Don’t let the pics fool you, there’s been plenty of neurospicy meltdowns and overstimulated tantrums. We take a break and snack, then we try to move on. by @thefitsmith

Pull-up hack!

If you can do 1-3 pull-ups, try adding weights to build strength.

I left my belt at home so I tried the super band hack. Put an arm in, loop the band through the plate and put the other loop on like a backpack

Light. Heavy. High rep, or low rep. Just lift weights. Researching shows just both methods work as long you are pushing to within 3-5 reps of FAILURE! by @thefitsmith
