#beatyesterday

This year I resolved to ride purely for fun, companionship and coffee! Today fitted the bill perfectly: a 28km riverside coffee cruise with my friend Gretta. ☕

There is nothing like getting out on the bike on a golden summer morning. My injury means I must keep it short, flat and easy. After so long off the bike it was my butt that was hurting after just 16km!

Happy to have been able to come back to @everythingfitnessguelph for the last month I was in Guelph. The nostalgia was great.

I have been aligned with where I must go and my path is direct. The motivation and drive I feel to continuously push myself by myself has been a strength of mine I’ve acquired from those around me. Remember to thank the universe for giving you your struggles because where would we be now without them to show you what you don’t need to thrive? Thankful for everything that’s been taken and given to me. @mussingtonphotography #pushyourself #motivation #fitspiration #fitnessgoals #getfit #fitlife #fitnessmotivation #nopainnogain #fitspo #gymmotivation #thesweatlife #fitnesslover #beatyesterday #bopo #lauracroft #badass #universalalignment #aligned #spiritualawakening

It’s funny how much 7.5lbs can fucking feel like.

Smile.
It irritates those who want to destroy you.

I am not gonna lie. It is very interesting watching your body change! I am proud of my current delt status and can’t wait to see what happens! Sometimes I have to look back through my pictures to realize my current definition.
It’s getting me excited.
I am super pumped for the next few weeks.

One thing I’ve learned about prep is that your emotions are constantly out of whack.
You’re happy. Then upset. Then you don’t really feel like much and the cycle continues.
You have to find a happy medium of how to still enjoy pushing yourself to the gym even though you’re tired. And eating the same food today that you had yesterday…
It’s almost comparable to a full time job. You just have to push yourself.

I like to think I am a machine. But I am not. We can push ourselves as hard as we want but we are not made of metal and will eventually reach a threshold. We have to remember that things that are worth essentially anything, are also worth the time getting there. Keep your mentality strong and push yourself to your goals, but be realistic. Take care of yourself in the process of bettering who you are. Physically, mentally, emotionally, they are all equally important attributes to get you where you need to be. #machine #training #workhardplayhard #betteryourself #expandyourmind #berealistic #loveyourself #fitspiration #fitnessgoals #getfit #fitlife #fitnessmotivation #nopainnogain #fitspo #gymmotivation #thesweatlife #fitnesslover #beatyesterday #bopo (at Hamilton, Ontario)

Shneak peak 5.5 weeks to condition, tone and perfect from here! Had a great time with @ifbb_pro_fedel_clarke at his @posingwiththepro studio! First time trying on the suit I’ll wear on stage (thank you so much @rb_2sday ) I love being able to see the other side of the process (vs tanning the athletes). It’s definitely been a mind opening experience that I have really been enjoying! Thank you EVERYONE for the support you have been giving me. Knowing that I inspire and motivate others to get in shape pushes me to drive myself even harder to hit the goal my coach and I are creating. (Big shoutout to @marievandusen for convincing me to get on stage!!! Thank you thank you ♥️♥️♥️) Step one: get on stage, step two: … well you’ll just have to wait and see #athlete #posing #appreciationpost #cpacompetitor #lessgetit #posingwiththepro #fitnessjourney #fitspiration #fitnessgoals #getfit #fitlife #fitnessmotivation #nopainnogain #fitspo #gymmotivation #thesweatlife #fitnesslover #beatyesterday #bopo (at Whitby, Ontario)

So so so thankful for my friends, family, acquaintances and those I am getting to know better. I don’t have everyone pictured here but I’ve worked out with five different people so far since I’ve been back in Guelph (1.5 weeks). The excitement I’ve gotten from others to train together pushes me even more. The support I’ve been getting could never be replaced by anything and I just want to let y’all know I appreciate ya ♥️♥️♥️ (not tagged - Rob and Rachel) #friends #appreciationpost #fitspiration #fitnessgoals #getfit #fitlife #fitnessmotivation #nopainnogain #fitspo #gymmotivation #thesweatlife #fitnesslover #beatyesterday #bopo #gaintrain #lovetolift #competition #competitor #training #trainpastthepain #trainballsdeep #lessgettit (at Guelph, Ontario)

Life is fucking crazy. We worry about trivial things and don’t stress about the important stuff. We need to learn to take control of our decisions and stop letting our subconscious attempt to destroy the self that we have built.
Take every action in stride.
Pride yourself in knowing you are doing what you can to hit your goals.
Remember where you came from and continue to move forward.
————
We may need time to pause our successes. Only briefly. To work on who we are.
This is a sign of good awareness.
Never lose sight of your goals.

Working on them “Mr. Clean Arms” ( @jillian.eh ) Great shoulder and bicep pump today. 6.5 weeks out…. getting intense. As much as I am dreaming of food I am still enjoying my training and everything about this. The challenge is exactly that. A fucking challenge. To figure out how strong YOU can be. This is on you and no one else. The journey takes time. But it’s worth it.

My sister is the bees knees @foxxsalonandspa I showed her a picture of the suit I’m wearing to compete in and these are the nails she did for me. She also redyed my hair so it’ll look nicer when I’m on stage. I’m not usually one to get excited about hair or nails but she “nailed it” I love them.

Check out them old tunes + random dancing with @rb_2sday during my shoulder and biceps today. I don’t usually post much about biceps because they’re my least favourite muscle to train (even though I loooove the results ) but I felt good about how they’re coming in! 1.5 weeks til the show! I’m excited to see what’ll happen! #competitor #10daysout #biceps #curlsforthegirls #randomdancing #maniac #preachercurls #fitspiration #fitnessgoals #getfit #fitlife #fitnessmotivation #nopainnogain #fitspo #gymmotivation #thesweatlife #fitnesslover #beatyesterday #bopo #cablecurls #silly (at Lindsay, Ontario)

What are you afraid of?
Why does putting effort into something as critical as your health terrify you?
Are you worried you’ll become addicted to the euphoric high that you come out of when you’ve pushed yourself during cardio?
Or the results you’ll see when you put effort into repetition with weights?
Why are we okay with staying in our set ways of feeling miserable about what we’re putting in our bodies with minimal effort when we know there’s a solution to fix how you’re feeling?
Will it be easy? No
Will you want to give up? Yes
Could you just deal with being depressed in your “easy” routine? Probably
But is it worth it? Abso-fucking-lutely

I feel like most athletes could agree that you can never have big enough shoulders.

Fucking throwback. And never look back. Can you tell the difference in my energy from looking at these pics? It’s funny cause I’m probably more exhausted today since I’m close to being on stage but I couldn’t be happier with the determination I’ve found to get myself in shape. I can’t wait to see what two weeks will do from here out. But this is almost a years difference between photos… like I said. Never going back. Always moving forward.

You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere.
You, yourself, as much as anyone in the entire universe, deserve your own love and attention.

You can always try to plan out the future. Keep yourself organized and have goals set for yourself. But it is never guaranteed that you will do exactly what you set out to accomplish.
Sometimes life tests you by taking away you job, or your loved ones, your significant others or your health.
You need to remember that everything is temporary but still worth fighting for.
When you get knocked down you MUST get back up and keep trying.
You don’t get where you want by allowing others to walk all over you or take advantage of your kindness, but you will get somewhere by continuing to persevere and push yourself through the bullshit.
This is to remind you that you are strong and that setbacks only set you up for more triumphant returns.
Keep on pushing.
