Hello! 👋 Long time no post! 😁 I am sorry I do not have time to catch up with everyone, but I took a quick glimpse 👀💖 and I am happy to see everyone is doing well! 💐 Just a quick check-in today to say that I am still alive, safe, and sound. 😂🙌 Quick update: ✨ - My blood panel is mainly in the safe zone, with some metrics hovering around the threshold, but very acceptable! 😇 - I gained some fat compared to my lowest point in Q2 2026 and then %body fat fluctuates recently, but 😄 I am happy to have some fat as my energy source! 🔋💪 - My brain fog is not better than Q3 🧠, though it is better than Q2 2026. ☁️ I still remain employed 💼, though I have no idea when I will get fired, LoL! 🤞😅 ❤️🌸 I wish you all happiness on your health journeys! 🌷🌟

Yesterday was strength day, and today my muscles were filing a COMPLAINT! 😂 I was so sore I could barely do TWO push-ups! Speaking of yesterday…this little mama was a NOISY LIFTER! 🤣 I was working on my 70 lbs goblet squats x 6 reps, and those last few reps had me unleashing the BEAST from deep within my chest! 🦍💪 Grunting, squeezing my face, and using every ounce of energy I had left! Did I get some looks? 👀 YUP! Did I care? WHO THE FUCK CARES! 🤣 This 5-foot little mama has GOALS to hit! 🔥 Fast forward to today’s F45 HYROX Foundations 5 with Coach Amber! Today’s challenge was all about PACING, CONSISTENCY & REPEATABLE EFFORT! ⏱️ 60 sec WORK / 10 sec REST ⏱️ 50 sec WORK / 10 sec REST ⏱️ 40 sec WORK / 10 sec REST ⏱️ 30 sec WORK / 10 sec REST ⏱️ 20 sec WORK! Burpee box jumps, rowers, farmer carries, wall balls, SkiErg, squats, mountain climbers with 2 push-ups, BikeErg, sled pulls…AND a 1 KM RUN to finish as a class! 🏃🏻‍♀️🔥 HOLY SMOKES! 🥵 My muscles were already screaming from yesterday! But today’s lesson wasn’t about going all out. It was about finding a sustainable pace, controlling my breathing, and maintaining consistent effort even when fatigue kicks in. That’s what I’m training for come race day! 💪 ✨ THE UNEXPECTED HIGHLIGHT OF MY MORNING! I bumped into a familiar face from my old F45 days! 🥰 We started catching up and sharing our fitness journeys. I remember when she wasn’t nearly as strong as she is today, and WOW…SHE IS AN ABSOLUTE BEAST NOW! 🔥 Her skin was glowing, her physique looked strong and toned, and she’s training for HYROX PRO! 💪 I couldn’t help but admire her determination and how far she’s come. We were both so excited sharing our progress, cheering each other on, and wishing each other the best of luck! Hopefully, we’ll cross paths again at HYROX Anaheim! 🏁❤️ You know what I loved most about that moment? We weren’t comparing ourselves to each other. We were celebrating how far we’ve BOTH come. 🥹💕 That’s what fitness should be about! Supporting, inspiring, and recognizing the hard work someone has put into becoming a stronger version of themselves.

Thursday evening was spent volunteering at Bingo Night to support my daughter’s softball program! Three hours of volunteering from 5–8 PM earned us a $60 credit toward her offseason dues. Not bad, right? 😆 I’ve done Bingo before when my daughter was in choir, so walking back into that room felt like a little reunion! I ran into a band mom I knew, and we immediately hugged. ❤️ I also recognized several familiar Bingo players who were happy to see me again! Of course, I had to bring my personality to the table! 😂 When selling Bingo tickets, I always tell the players, “Come get your LUCKY tickets from me!” 🍀🤣 And somehow, my tickets sell FAST! Maybe it’s luck, or maybe it’s the fun energy and conversations I bring along. One player told me, “I didn’t get a winning hand!” I laughed and said, “It’s just like playing the lottery! If you don’t play, how will you ever know if you’ll win?” 😂 She couldn’t help but laugh! Meanwhile, the Mister teases me because when HE volunteers at Bingo, those three hours feel like an eternity. But for ME? Time flies because I’m too busy talking to EVERYBODY! 🤣 And yes, I got my steps in too! 🚶🏻‍♀️ Here’s my little Thursday takeaway. ❤️ Sometimes it’s not about what you’re doing, but the energy you bring while doing it. I love that people remember me, not because of anything extraordinary I’ve done, but because of how we connected, laughed, and enjoyed a moment together. Whether I’m at the gym, volunteering, or simply walking into a room, I want to be someone who brings a little positivity, laughter, and good energy. People may forget what you said, but they’ll remember how you made them feel. 💕 If I can make someone’s day a little brighter while selling Bingo tickets, that’s a WIN in my book! 🥎🍀✨

Today, I received an unexpected text from one of my former coaches at 24 Hour Fitness letting me know he’s back! 🥳 He checked in and asked if I had already competed in HYROX. I told him my competition is next month, and I’m feeling a little nervous but SUPER excited! 😬🔥 His response? “You’re going to do just fine. You have the discipline and motivation.” Awww, that made this lil mama smile from ear to ear! 🥹❤️ As I’ve mentioned before, compliments from a coach just HIT DIFFERENT! 💯 Coaches see our struggles, our progress, and the work we put in when nobody else is paying attention. What made this moment special wasn’t just the compliment. It was realizing that someone who had witnessed my fitness journey still recognizes the discipline I’ve built along the way. Trust me, I didn’t get here overnight! There have been struggles, setbacks, doubts, and plenty of moments where I questioned myself. But one thing I never stopped doing was SHOWING UP! 💪 My Thursday WIN? Realizing that my hard work is speaking louder than I ever could. 🥹❤️ I’m still nervous about HYROX, but his words reminded me that I’ve already done the hard work to earn my place at that starting line. Now it’s time to trust my training and enjoy the experience! ✨ Thursday takeaway: Never underestimate the power of a few encouraging words. You never know how much confidence you can give someone just by recognizing their efforts. Keep showing up, keep challenging yourself, and keep doing HARD SHIT! 🔥💪 Sometimes the biggest WIN isn’t what you accomplish, but realizing how much you’ve grown along the way! ❤️

I’ve noticed something pretty amazing lately! 🤩 Whenever I’m traveling, finding a gym and getting my workout in is always a priority. It’s just part of my lifestyle now. But what makes it even MORE FUN is that somehow, I always have someone wanting to work out with me! 😂💪 Over the weekend, Patrick’s girlfriend wanted to join me at the gym. I was excited to have another workout buddy, but I reminded her that she recently had surgery on her nose and wasn’t supposed to sweat. I told her, “I would LOVE to work out with you, but I’d rather you focus on healing first. The gym isn’t going anywhere, and we’ll have our workout together next time!” ❤️ And that got me thinking…HOLY MOLY! Have I become a WORKOUT MAGNET?! 🧲🤣 I’m just over here doing my thing, lifting heavy shit, challenging myself, having fun, and enjoying this fitness lifestyle. I never set out to convince anyone to work out with me, but somehow my enthusiasm is rubbing off on the people around me! 🥹 🏆 MY WIN? It’s not about making it to the gym while traveling. That’s already a habit I’ve built. My WIN is realizing that my love for fitness is becoming CONTAGIOUS! ❤️🔥 People genuinely WANT to join me, and that makes my heart so happy! One thing I’ve learned is that you don’t always need to motivate people with words. Sometimes just showing up, being consistent, and genuinely LOVING what you do is enough to inspire someone else. Being a positive influence doesn’t mean pushing someone to work harder. Sometimes it’s reminding them that REST and RECOVERY are just as important as the workout itself. The biggest wins aren’t always measured by pounds lifted, miles run, or numbers on a scale. Sometimes they’re measured by the positive impact you have on the people around you. 🥰 If there’s one thing I hope people catch from me, it’s NOT my sweat! 😂💦 It’s my passion for taking care of our health and having FUN while doing it! So here’s my question for my BBB/Skool family: Have you noticed anyone around you becoming more interested in fitness because of YOUR journey?
