Ok fam I’m putting out there to hold myself accountable this summer! My goal is 5 workouts per week 💪 I’m home with my boys all summer so I know it’s doable! Anyone is welcome to join me on this goal ✨❣️

Life has been hectic lately but the past week I’ve made a point to no matter what get a workout in! Many days that means one of the 10 minute videos but even with those I ALWAYS feel better afterwards! Marnie and M/body team hoping you might drop a few more 10 minute workouts at some point😁🤞🙏🏻

My pics aren’t uploading lately- let’s try again…

Had a great moment with my 9 year old while hiking the Grand Canyon today 💙 If you ever get the chance to visit DO IT!! We both had our phones out taking pictures along the way- his phone isn’t actually a phone but he’s able to take photos on it. I told him to get the photos but also take time to just ENJOY the beauty around us!! We saw so many people putting themselves in horribly dangerous situations out on cliffs for “the Insta shot “ I’m personally not a fan of social media because of these situations- among other things! But I verbalize my sentiments towards social media and my son asked “Well Mommy what about Marnie’s social media you do?” So I explained to him that Marnie created our very own special space that only we can go as part of the M/Body fam… he replied “Oh yeah that makes a lot of sense! I like that!” Smart guy😊 Anyway felt proud of this community and how much it’s always an impact on my life even when I’m not on the mat ❣️💪✨

I’ve tried to post this with a picture multiple times with no luck sooo here’s the quote I’m referring to:

“Don’t grow a wishbone daughter where your backbone ought to be”- Celementine Paddleford

Today Marnie had us visualize a special strong woman/women during class. Mine were my mom and my 26 year old self.

My mom gave me this awesome quote years ago. It hangs in my bathroom and I take those words in everyday. My mom showed me what it’s like to be a great mother and I look up to her so much ❣️

My 26 year old self took on a lot all while staying strong and positive. I was 26 when my (now) stepdaughter moved in with us full time. She was in 7th grade so I went through all the milestone girl stuff with her. Although at times I felt overwhelmed and too young for such an adult role I channeled my mom and made our house a happy home😊My stepdaughter and I have a wonderful relationship and I feel so proud that I was a strong female role model during such an important part of her life 💪✨

It’s a serious workout sitch in my tiny house this morning in Dallas 💦 💪 My bff is in town from Milwaukee- she also happens to be the one who introduced me to Marnie on popsugar instagram lives during lockdown spring 2020🙌

We are doing our workouts in every room of my house- including my 6 year old who was inspired my me and my bff💙

Love the healthy habits I’m teaching my sons through my commitment to M/body💪❣️

I’ve been really good about drinking my lemon water first thing in the morning 👏👏 But there’s some days I forget until later… I end up still drinking it but sometimes after coffee & breakfast and sometimes in the afternoon… my thought is it’s better that not at all, right??

I woke up in a lot of pain today- I’ve suffered from arthritic flare ups since my 20s and though I haven’t had one in a while I knew that’s what was going on. I’ve been going 100 miles a minute since I finished a full time job in December and think I have just pushed my body too hard. I’m working on the 10 day challenge and have done M\body everyday since sometime before Christmas… there was a big part of me that kept thinking I “should” do a workout today. But I finally listened to what my body NEEDS and that’s a day of rest! I’m already feeling better and I still had a very productive day- win/win😊 Love that Marnie always encourages listening to our bodies- mine was talking loud and clear 😜 Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day and I’ll hop back on the challenge 💪💪

And I’ve had to bend a LOT this challenge! I’ve been sicker over the past few weeks than I’ve been in years🥺 First a stomach bug last week then the flu hit our house on Tuesday 😵‍💫 Trying to heal up and regain strength to hopefully get back on the mar in the next week or two. Not at all how I envisioned this challenge but I’m trying to bend with what life’s throwing my way in order not to break❣️

We love Halloween in my house! We always do a theme! This year was Sonic the Hedgehog 2

We are Dr Robotnik, Sonic, Knuckles & Tails❣️

Love to share here since I’m off social media😊
