I can definitely say I’m excited to see such a difference from December 2018 to now. I love the fact that if we don’t get work in the am we aim to hit the gym! However gyming with friends sometimes means more talking happens and less working out 😂😂 #fitnessgoals #fitnessjourney #lifestylechanges #littlebylittle #someonesaidishouldbeamodel https://www.instagram.com/babeelu/p/BxQ0l9QAYrj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=x68ca7cf91x0

When you have a meltdown about life, then go away for the weekend and you get a picture from your love who took the time to make a space for me to get back into my creative zen. I absolutely love this. Thank you so much babes. Honestly the best thing ever and can not wait to be back in your arms💜🤗🥰 @franciscoakamike https://www.instagram.com/babeelu/p/Bwhp88lAPXU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1q6tueznso7k4

That’s a wrap, I had a pleasure being apart of the ILWU CANADA TEAM! Made it in 1:12, and I picked my time to be 1:15, pretty big accomplishment.

A time for change, and to trust this risk. I was so nervous and sad to see my hair being cut but as the day has gone by its grown on me instead. I feel free and not weighed down without worries on how I'm going to deal with my curly breakage of a mess, I call hair. Here's to a new me and it's only the beginning. Shoutout to my home girl, we go way back but I'm still cooler @robynstegy thanks for your great scissor hands! also to my amazing man for giving me the courage to take the big chop. As well as all the wonderful words of kindness from the people I'm surrounded by. The two biggest words that have stuck with me is "edgey and fierce" I love it. 🥰👌😘 Peace and love folks https://www.instagram.com/babeelu/p/Bv8IoDMgMZX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1qsjyzt3ohx8g

**WARNING LONG POST*** Fighting a battle again with myself. Lost sight of what I'm wanting to accomplish. I say everyday I need to go to the gym and eat better however at the end of the work day, I just wanna go home and be with my family and relax. Most days I have no energy, I feel like I'm gaining my weight back and taking 20 steps backwards. I love my foods that are fast and take no time to make due to such a constant go go go life and never know when I work. I also absolutely hate left overs and am a picky eater. This is me today and I need to focus and get back into that habit. I will get there in time, setbacks happen. They say to love yourself, stretch marks, curves and all but media influences differently. A struggle, a battle where you feel defeated. I see these beautiful sports models with killer bodies yet how do you juggle work, motherhood, and being a spouse while getting that sexy bod you want? And keeping the weight off when all you wanna do is eat the good foods (but really they are bad). I don't post this to have a pity party. But only to share that people struggle, life isn't always rainbows and happiness. There's pain, suffering, depression, and eating disorders of any kind. I hear people say I'm skinny but when I look at myself I still hold this image of the fat, gross, saggy me, and never know how to respond to those comments. I work on this everyday of telling myself I am beautiful yet there's still those moments. Social media/the internet doesn't share the whole truth about someone, or something. only sharing what people want you to see and think, yet behind that camera that person could actually be suffering. Hence why I have deleted my apps for instagram and FB many times because a. Ads pull you in, b. You scroll endlessly yearning to have a life like that thinking your life isn't as good. I love my life yes, yet I still have many battles and struggles everyday, because no one is perfect. 🤷🏽‍♀️😔💜 #truth #life #deep #realtalk #womenempowerment #learntoloveyou #lifeisnoteasy #taketimeforyou #eatingdisorders #depression #dailystruggles #everythingwillbeok https://www.instagram.com/babeelu/p/BvXqGkUgC5l/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=15a6jm2e777iy

Now I’m rather not to excited yet as this is always how I am until I’m actually sitting on the plane. On the other hand my travel buddy is sharing the excitement for me. A month away from my family and friends will be challenging but I can assure you I will create and have the best memories anyone could ask for. See you soon Thailand & Vietnam! 💜👌🏽🛫 #jetsetter #travel #vietnam #thailand #justatadexcited https://www.instagram.com/babeelu/p/BvC-tOtA85j/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1el6uzy4o8qxj
