Even a messy workout still counts. Doing it when you are not feeling 💯 is when you realize just how far you have come in the past year. Building the habit of exercising is what has helped us both stay motivated. Showing up for yourself isn't selfish, its important. Its taken me a LONG time to realize this

I have been making this weekly.

Chia seed yogurt pudding:

1 container plain greek yogurt
1 package fresh berries or frozen berries, blended smooth
1/4 cup maple syrup
Splash of vanilla
1/2 cup chia seeds

Mix all together and let sit in fridge for a few hours until thick

Enjoy ‼️

*usually I use fresh strawberries but today I just mixed berries from the freezer and let them unthaw

Most people train for how they want to look next month.

Very few people train for how they want to feel 20 or 30 years from now.

Strength is not just about workouts or muscle.

It is being able to carry groceries without thinking about it, keep up with your kids or grandkids, get off the floor easily, travel freely, and maintain your independence.

You are going to age either way.

The goal is to age with energy, capability, and strength.
