Health first, always. I strive to bring a focus on health in mind, body, and spirit to the fitness industry. No fitness goal is worth sacrificing your mental health, and at the same time focusing on mental health should not put you in a bad place physically. Although the fitness industry focuses HEAVILY on aesthetics, I hope that my presence here helps bring people back to what really matters: living full and healthy lives with happiness at the forefront

How I keep track of my preps! I got this idea WAY back in the day (literally a year ago) from @carissa4health on her YouTube channel. This is an excel document where I keep any and everything regarding my prep- weight, macros, workouts, body fat percentage, and any other notes, like “was super tired today” This document is a life saver if you’re coaching yourself, or if you’re just a numbers freak like me And having info from previous preps allows me to look back and see progress!

Passion (n): loving something so much that you’re willing to suffer for it. ▪️▪️▪️
Passion has been a recurring theme in my life lately. Moving on to a new chapter of my life had me thinking about what it is I truly love. This was such a difficult question until I heard passion defined as something you love so much that you’re willing to suffer for it. Upon hearing this, my mind went immediately to fitness and competing. Any suffering I go through, any tough workout, any endless cardio session, any night going to bed hungry, is ultimately worth it for me. My passion is what pushes me through when it gets hard. I refuse to live a life that isn’t passionate. I will find a way to shape my life around my passion. As Layne Norton says, you can’t fake passion. If you do, someone who is truly passionate will show up one day and f***ing embarrass you. With that said, I’m asking you: what are you passionate about? Is your passion reflected in your everyday life? If it isn’t, why not?

Is that a tricep I spy? I’m EVER so slowly leaning out, trying to keep as much of my hard earned muscle as possible! That five month off season will not be for nothing

On an unrelated note, I was thinking about passion today. Specially, finding your passion and purpose and turning those things into your career. And I’ve come to the conclusion that doing that is much harder than it sounds. @amandabuccifit has really been inspiring me to take my life into my own hands lately with her podcast and #igniteyourfire, and all of my self-reflection is just leading to more questions! The one thing I know for sure is that I’m a helper, and I want to be able to improve someone’s life every single day with whatever I end up doing. But besides that, I’m essentially stumped. Oh well, i’ll just be over here doing tricep press downs and questioning my life♀️

Ahhhh those post massage feels ☺️☺️☺️ I swear if I won the lottery I’d just get a whole bunch of massages. They’re so expensive but soooo wonderful. I feel so comfy and happy right now. I definitely slack on my recovery- stretching, foam rolling, massages, etc are all so important when you’re lifting regularly, and I could totally improve on this area. Oh well, progress not perfection!

I start and end every day with protein oatmeal I wake up with oatmeal and whey protein, which is faster digesting and good for breaking that fast. Then at night, I have this deliciousness which is basically dessert I add a scoop of chocolate Optimum Nutrition casein protein and a tablespoon of Crazy Richard’s 100% peanuts peanut butter to my oats and I’m in taste bud heaven. Casein is great before bed because it’s slower digesting and helps prevent the breakdown of lean muscle mass overnight, which is important when you’re dieting! As for the peanut butter, I’m definitely a connoisseur, but on prep I like to keep it simple. This pb is 100% peanuts, with no hydrogenated oils In conclusion, say hello to my favorite meal of the day
