Happy New Week! Did anyone else really enjoy their extra hour of sleep yesterday? 🙋🏻‍♀️ If you've been following my post the past year, you know that I've had so many struggles. But, I've kept working away on myself, trying to find the right recipe for life. While I haven't found the magic potion, things have been slowly improving. Sleep, energy, overall mood. 😊 Last week, I felt more locked in than ever before! Don't get me wrong, it took real work. I had to plan ahead to make sure I had time to complete all of my workouts. I had to order groceries and make food so I could follow my nutrition plan. I had to sleep and recover (stretch, roll, etc). It wasn't perfect and I've learned to accept that. I just promised myself that I would give 100% of what I had to offer for that specific day. 💪 I just started the day with a 10 minute stretch and a 10 minute walk. I'm still feeling locked in and ready to tackle the week ahead. I want to take a minute to celebrate this feeling. 🎉 What is the one small thing that you can celebrate today? Please share in the comments. Have a great week, ladies! 👑

🎃 Fun Fact: The first jack-o’-lanterns were carved from turnips, not pumpkins! The tradition began in Ireland, and Irish immigrants later adopted pumpkins in America because they were easier to carve. Imagine carving a spooky face into a turnip! 👻 Please share your Halloween pics in the comments! Have a Spookey Weekend! 👻☠️🎃

Happy Monday! In 47 days, I'll be competing in the DEKA World Championships for the 4th year in a row. It's go time. The past couple of weeks have thrown me off with travel and an allergic reactions that took me out for days. But today is the day. I'm still not 100% recovered from the rash and my sleep has been terrible. But, despite all of that, I'm ready to hunker down and put 100% of what I can give each day to my training regime. 💪 I'm going to start documenting my journey here. Mostly for accountability and hopefully I will spread some inspiration into this group. 📝 This morning started off with 10 minutes of stretching and a quick 10 minute walk. These are 2 things that I've been wanting to incorporate into my daily routine for months. It's was refreshing! I even took my coffee on the walk with me. ☕️ What is something that you've wanted to add to your daily routine but haven't yet? Take this as a sign to get started today. 🤗

Fun Fact: 🎶🍎🎧 On October 23, 2001, Apple introduced the first iPod, putting “1,000 songs in your pocket.” That’s 25 years ago today! 👀 Some of us remember when carrying our favorite music meant a binder full of CDs and a very strong opinion about who could touch them. 😂 What song would still be on your playlist 25 years later? If you were even born yet...😆

I just got back from Boston and, of course, I couldn't miss out on this famous landmark! Fun Fact: 🍻 Before everybody knew its name, Boston’s real Cheers bar was the Bull & Finch Pub! It opened in 1969, 13 years before the TV show premiered. And it already had bragging rights! Boston Magazine named it “Best Neighborhood Bar” in 1982, the same year Cheers debuted. A big year for a little neighborhood pub! Cheers was the place "where everyone knows your name". I've always thought of ObstaCourse as my "Cheers". It's a place where I can go to be myself and enjoy the company of others. Where is your "Cheers"?
