I’m sure we’ve all been here. Maybe we still are. And that’s okay. But the bill needs to be paid eventually. Thoughts?

Sometimes a picture captures more than just a workout. Looking through my HYROX Sim photos, I can literally see every emotion — the focus, the struggle, the “why am I doing this to myself?” face 😂, the grit, and finally that smile when it was DONE. Farmer carries — locked in. Sandbag — just keep moving. Sled push — head down and WORK. SkiErg — surviving. Row — pulling with whatever I had left. And then that last photo… the smile of someone who knew she just did something HARD. What I love most about these pictures is that none of them are posed. They captured me right in the moment — sweaty, tired, uncomfortable and still moving forward. HYROX training has taught me that I don’t have to look strong every second to be strong. Sometimes strength looks like the face you make when your body is screaming at you and you decide to keep going anyway. Every simulation is another opportunity to learn how to pace myself, trust my training, and get a little more comfortable being uncomfortable. And apparently my HYROX face has MANY personalities. 😂 📸 These are definitely some picture-perfect memories I’ll want to look back on when race day comes.

I've committed to my flights to Bangkok! AHHHH! 😆 I am scared; I am anxious; I am excited all at the same time, it feels ridiculous. I've been sitting on the thought and have been having ideas for the longest time. And like our fitness journeys, you can't wait to be ready, you just need to go - so here I go. One thing I can be sure of - lugging 20kg luggage across an airport will be the less of my problems. I'm going to walk the steps, eat the food, and reconnect with myself 🙏 I'll be in the city - asking for suggestions: what's a must try? Where is a must go? Do gyms take walk-ins and where are they? 😅 Genuis Bar is on my list. Rechill is also on my list. What else? 🤔

Okay, I know this isn’t technically my fitness win… but I’m claiming it 😂🏈 My son took this one, 60 yards for the winning touchdown yesterday! It was 95 degrees out, and I was basically getting my own cardio workout on the sidelines screaming the entire way 😂🔥 And to make it even better, it was our first win of the season! The kids wanted this one SO bad and ended up beating one of the top teams in the Bay Area. So I’d say it was a win, win, WIN all around! 😅🙌 It got me thinking… sometimes the best part of being fit isn’t what happens in the gym. It’s having the energy to keep up with life, show up for the people you love, and be fully present for the moments that matter. This one’s for you Coach @Aaron Wong … 😁 What’s something outside the gym that made you feel like a WIN lately? ❤️

Goodbye September 🍂 and hello October 🎃 A brand-new month, a fresh page, and another chance to make some memories along the way. And to all my October babies — HAPPY BIRTHDAY MONTH! 🥳 Wishing you a year filled with good health, lots of laughter, new adventures, and plenty of reasons to celebrate YOU. Forget getting another year older… we’re just becoming more experienced, more confident, and obviously another year YOUNGER. 😂 Here’s to October, cooler weather, pumpkin everything, spooky season, and making the last few months of 2026 count. Cheers to a beautiful new month! 🥂
