Sometimes you have to kick the doors down, smile and introduce yourself 🥾🚪👋🏽

Happy Sunday!! 🦍

Who ya got!? Choose wisely 👊🏽

Imagine you're at the foot of the cross, kneeling before Him.
Look up at His body, physically destroyed just for you.
Imagine that He looks down at you and says,

“My child, it is finished”.

What does He see in your eyes?

It’s always nice to meet like-minded people, who like to improve their health and wellness, but also know how to dress in style! 😉
I met at my new gym, and HAD to say hello and take a pic together!
She also is new to the 1stPhorm Spring Transphormation Challenge…I sure hope she doesn’t outwork me!🫣
Amazing to meet you Valerie, excited and PROUD to have you a part of the Phamily ☝🏽

Leading from the front is something that I’ve never thought that I’d be doing, I like to stay back in the shadows and let others lead.

But here I am, jumping out of my comfort zone and competing in the Spring Tranphormation Challenge for $50k!

Scared to take the step toward greatness? Me too…🫣

So let’s step out together! Join me, and bring a friend and a family member!

I’ll do this with you!! LET’S GO!!! 👊🏽

“You vs You”
🦍
I am my own worst enemy, and this is the dialogue that I have with myself DAILY!
🦖
“I doubt you can do this…”
🦍
“I don’t believe in you…”
🦖
I constantly talk about the ‘what if’s’ …
🦍
“What if I can’t…”
🦖
“What if I’m not good enough…”
🦍
“What if I’m not able to do this/that?”
🦖
We ALL have these thoughts! It’s not just you.
🦍
You are fighting against yourself, every step of the way just like I am. But…
🦖
What if you/I CAN do this?
🦍
What if you/I ARE good enough?
🦖
What if you/I ARE able to do this/that?
🦍
What IF you/I just step out and see what happens?
🦖
What if…? 🤔

It all begins with the starting lineup! 🏆

I always thought that eating food after working out was the way to go.

Don't get me wrong, I still made great gains with eating, but switching to a rapid digesting carb & protein, & creatine shake right after my workout, was an even BETTER choice!

I've been able to minimize my soreness/recovery time, which has allowed me to get back into the gym to get even more results! And the flavors?!!...WOW, who knew that a Root Beer Float would help to grow muscle? 😅💪🏽

I AM NOT A NUMBER

Jan 24, 2023, I “weighed” 202.6 lbs. This morning Jan 26, 2023, I weighed 1 pound heavier.

I know what it feels like to feel fat and not worthy. I’ve struggled with my weight most of my adult life. I couldn’t breathe while tying my shoes. Pinched my stomach with the seatbelt and had to tuck it under my stomach so it wouldn’t feel like it was choking me.

I get it.

I used to base my progress, on the results of the number.

So many things factor into the scale “number”. But the number doesn’t define who you are or if you are “healthy”!

And FYI, skinny isn’t always healthy either!

Today, I FEEL better than I used to!
I HAVE more energy than I have in the past!
I AM stronger in the gym than I was a year ago! I HAVE a happy gut and have regular movements 💩

Do me a favor, STOP chasing the numbers, and START chasing the results. ⭐️

Use the scale as a guide, not a title. ❤️
