When I first fell off the wagon, I had just had emergency surgery, was on some powerful antibiotics and could not workout. Then depression set in, outside stressors increased, and I chose to follow directives from those not serious about their own health much less mine. Fast forward to now, I tried to ignore the signs, but when a reality check comes... there is nothing you can do to avoid facing it. Increased fibro flares, increased neuropathy pain, and lethargy. Borderline Diabetes... now Type 2 Diabetes. Was it all worth it? Allowing outside forces to pull me from my healthier, happier place? Nope! But it has taught me a VALUABLE lesson. Only I am responsible for how I live my life, fuel my soul, feed my mind and treasure the body I've been blessed with. Change is happening all around me, and I'm determined to make positive changes within me. #TPNF #TeamPhatnFit #FitOver45 #Fitbit #FibroFit #FitMom #FkFibro #GymRat #MomsWhoLift #OpShred #OperationShred #determined #diciplined #focused #goals #inspired #motivated #planetfitness #selflove #spoonie #weightlifting

My Friday, felt good to go into the gym with a clear mind and a renewed drive. I hit the weights hard and then spent the rest of the day with my youngest. Working harder to keep my mind and body on one accord. For that i have to be disciplined and focused! #TeamPhatnFit #FitOver45 #FibroFit #FitMom #Momswholift #determined #diciplined #focused #OpShred #OperationShred #inspired #selflove #weightlifting

I woke up this morning, looked in the mirror and was HAPPY with what I saw: A 47 year old mother of a now 11 year old..More energy, better health and loving life....a far cry from the woman I was 3 years ago. My HUSTLE IS HARDER today because of my sons, but especially my youngest. I've been blessed to be a stay at home mom most of his life, however this morning as we prayed and snuggled before he left for school, he told me..."Mom, I'm glad you are my Mom. I love you, have a great day at work, stay safe." To him fitness & motivating others is my job. I thank him for speaking my dreams into existence! #TeamPhatnFit #FitOver45 #FibroFit #FitMom #Fitbit #planetfitness #MomsWhoLift #GymRat #HOB #HOMT #determined #focused #inspired #OpShred

National Fibromyalgia Awareness Day! Those who know me, know how I've suffered for YEARS from this illness, but refuse to be defeated by it! Getting myself physically active helped tremendously, but it is not the cure all. I still suffer flares, but my tolerance for pain has grown and I no longer refuse to accept pain management help from medications and stress therapy. Purple symbolizes strength and butterflies symbolize change, beauty and strength. Thank you to all who wear PURPLE today in support of myself and other Fibro Warriors! 💜💜💜💜 #TeamPhatnFit #FitOver45 #FibroFit #FitMom #Fitbit #planetfitness #MomsWhoLift #GymRat #fibromyalgia #FkFibro #spoonie #fibrowarrior

You don't FIND willpower...YOU CREATE IT! That's right getting up and making moves STARTS WITH YOU! Stop taking about how you wish you could find time to workout...MAKE THE TIME! You cannot allow yourself to get so busy with EVERYTHING but yourself! 30 mins a day will make a difference...walking, dancing, lifting weights or some other cardio. But don't just stop there - MAKE HEALTHIER food choices! Change your relationship with food! Yes it is hard... but IT IS POSSIBLE! #TeamPhatnFit #FitOver45 #FibroFit #FitMom #Fitbit #planetfitness #MomsWhoLift #GymRat #HOB #HOMT #determined #focused #inspired #OpShred #SizeHealthyistheGoal

This was last night as I was finishing 3x40 @ 5lb Alternating Lateral Raises... Shoulders, Biceps, Triceps ON FIRE! Thinking to myself WHY am I putting myself through this? I had to remember...all the workout tweaks & changes that I've survived since 2013. Each time resulting in A STRONGER ME! TRUST THE PROCESS! Give your best to every workout! No matter how simplistic. I started this journey with a short but effective quarter mile walk in my neighborhood and as I grew stronger...my bedroom became my gym. I have faith that if you put your mind to it AND WORK you will see positive results! #TeamPhatnFit #FitOver45 #FibroFit #FitMom #Fitbit #planetfitness #MomsWhoLift #GymRat #HOB #HOMT #determined #focused #inspired #OpShred
