MYA Fit

Life as of late 🫶🏼 been soaking up every bit of my family lately. These days are passing me by and I don’t want to miss them. Been really feeling the need to slow down lately and I have. So grateful for this season of life that’s busy, crazy and beautiful in every way. I love my people and summer 🤍

Maybe the answer to your problem is to change what your goals and habits are. They may not be ultimately what you wish you could do in this busy season of life, but what are 1-2 things that you CAN stick to no matter what?

We get caught up in this all or nothing mentality and think if we can’t do it the best then we may as well not do it at all. But that’s actually not what gets us to our goals.

Progress is not linear. Read that again.

Some phases of life I can check off all my goals and habits every single day and some I can just do a few. But guess what? I’m still progressing because I’m doing SOMETHING. Not nothing.

Remember that it’s you against you. Nobody is you. So don’t compare to others that are completely different than you 🫶🏼✨🤎

When did my little man get so big? 🥹🤎

Life lately has been weird. Busy and unexpected things and sickness and changes and hard moments. Been trying to remind myself of these little things and that this stage is temporary while also trying to soak up every minute I can of this beautiful, messy life. Letting go of the perfection I’ve always held myself to.

Sorry I haven’t been as good at posting my usual content. I feel like I’ve been in survival mode and taking care of me and my family is top priority.

It’s okay to rest, it’s okay to change, give yourself grace 🫶🏼But also work hard when it’s time to work ✨ Which pic resonates with you?

Motherhood. My greatest calling in life.

I feel so honored to be this little boy’s mom. There’s been some hard days, but most days are days filled with the greatest joy I’ve ever known.

Baylor, thank you for making me a mama I love you beyond words 🤎

I’m so passionate about my health and feeling good in a body that doesn’t always want me to. Living with autoimmune diseases can be so hard, I get it. I live through it. I see you 🫶🏼

I know how hard it is to get through the day when you’re completely fatigued, when you have pain, when you have brain fog, when you feel like you’re not accomplishing anything because you’re just trying to survive.

But, I always believe there’s something you can do to change the story you’re in and make it better. This is why I made my program. For women. For women with autoimmune diseases. To help you feel better, help give you more energy, help decrease your pain and to ultimately feel strong. You’re in charge and you get to choose what you do to help yourself.

This is what my app is all about. It has a 7-day free trial, come join our team of strong autoimmune women 💪🏼

It’s easy to go grab a candy bar from your pantry or the gas station instead of making a healthy snack or meal. It’s easy to sleep in and miss your workout instead of getting up. It’s easy to sit there and break promises to yourself that might be convenient in the moment, but later on you have lower self esteem and you’re further from your goals because of it. Start focusing on a habit that will serve the future you 🫶🏼 your future self is begging you to stick to your goals and do the hard thing that benefits you later on.

I was telling Jake the other day how sometimes I wish I could just be one of those people who at the end of the day, sat on the couch and watched my favorite TV show and relaxed all night until bed. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with that if you do that, but in my case it wouldn’t help me reach my goals.

Watching TV at night and relaxing would make me happy for a moment. But, what I get done instead helps me be successful for the next day and leads to so much more happiness. Same goes for exercise, work, eating healthy, etc.

Don’t be mistaken for what you think is “normal” will bring more happiness. A happier, more successful, joyful and healthier life is on the other side of your excuses 🙌🏼

So many people think there’s some “secret” that they’re missing out on that’s keeping them from reaching their goals. When in all reality, it’s just sticking to the basics, consistently.

Truly ask yourself, when have you been consistent for years with the basics?

If you haven’t, today is your start date 🫶🏼

You’re blessed with a beautiful body to move and take care of. Don’t take it for granted.

Move it, fuel it, let it rest and most of all, love it 🫶🏼 When you take care of yourself, so many things in your life get better in so many ways. You can’t pour from an empty cup.

If you’re struggling to start, get real with yourself about why you want to be healthy and feel good. And most of all, remember that motivation won’t always be there. You have to start to get the motivation most of the time 💪🏼

All I need 💕😍💗🤍💞❤️🫶🏼

2023 was a year of pure joy and healing. Being a mama to the most wild, loving little boy has been my greatest blessing. I reached goals, crossed things off my bucket list and my life feels so rich. I love these boys and the other people in my life that make such a big impact. SO excited for this next year ❤️‍🔥✨ happy new year!

Sometimes you feel like your daily efforts aren’t enough. Here’s your reminder to take progress pictures. The last few months I’ve been focusing on more food, protein and lifting heavier when I can. There’s 5 months between these pictures. And although they’re still small, I’ve grown and gotten stronger 💪🏼

Imagine what you can do in 6 months, 12 months, 2 years… if you focus on the little things each day.

I’m just a couple short weeks the gyms will fill up with people trying to hit their New Year’s resolutions. It’s great, but why wait a couple weeks? Start today. It’s not about “waiting after the holidays” or “working off all the crap you ate”. You’ll feel better when you move your body and you get a head start on building healthy habits 🙌🏼

Focus on those daily things and you’ll see change over time ✨

Merry Christmas from us to you ❄️ the happiest and most magical time of year ✨ These boys make it 10x better. I love them more than words.

I’m just over 13 months postpartum. I realized I don’t take enough pictures of my progress but just looking at these pictures compared to a year ago are crazy.

Today —> 1 week PP —> 36 weeks pregnant

I’m not where I want to be, but I know little changes everyday make big ones overtime.

I wish I could say I was extremely disciplined over the last year worked out consistently 5 days a week, are really clean and got all the sleep I needed.

Buttttt… having a baby really hit me with real life. I had a hard few months after recovery from losing a lot of blood and trying to keep my lupus under control. I really learned the value of doing the best you can in the circumstances you’re in. Each month I felt more like me and a little bit stronger.

Our bodies are amazing with what they’re capable of. It still blows my mind we can grow babies and keep them alive inside of our bodies. I’m so grateful for all that my body did to give me my biggest blessing.

I hope you know how strong, incredible and capable you are. No matter what phase of life you’re in. You are amazing if you need that reminder 🤍

Struggling to get enough protein in? I think snacking is hard for a lot of people.

It’s so easy to grab the crackers and treats and all the high carb snacks… protein makes you more full, helps with your blood sugar balance and helps build a strong body.

Little photo dump of life lately ❤️‍🔥 Been soaking up every little bit of Bay that I can cause he turns one soon. This year flew. So many good days and also hard days. Learning to balance life being a mom, wife and work is not easy. I’m still learning so much and just when I think I have it figured out, I don’t. I’m learning how to take life one day at a time and just roll with what it gives me. Being a mom brings the most happiness. Now I’m gonna go cry cause I don’t want him to grow up 🥲
