I ended 2018 with a full heart and a healthy mindset. I had achieved personal and professional goals and 2019 looked promising. Ten years of marriage and a kindergartener to celebrate. I was excited for the new year. . And then my dad died. Suddenly. . Everything changed. My heart. My mind. My life. It was all instantly different. Yet, so much of it remained the same I felt foolish when I didn’t ‘keep up’ but in some moments I literally didn’t know how. . Grief is funny like that. It blurs your world in a sneaky way...showing you a glimmer of what was or what could or should be. Holding you hostage to your emotions in a way that makes you feel out of control at times. . I was looking forward to so many things this year, but I’ve had a hard time really enjoying them. I don’t know if it’s the grief or just how crazy busy this year has been, both personally and professionally, but we have plenty to celebrate. A promotion for my husband. My boy who has blossomed into a little chatter box. My big girl who is amazed with new learnings at school. Lots of family and friend time. A solid job that challenges me on the regular. All blessings. . But 2019 has been a hard year. . I’m learning how to accept a reality I wasn’t prepared for. I’m doing my best to find the balance and space in my life for all the important things and to get rid of the crap. . Some days I’m treading water. Some days I’m winning the race. All I can do it be flexible, recalibrate and get shit done. #mommasgotgoals #creatingspaceforme #strongaf #2019 #grief #newnormal #acceptingreality #lossofaparent #lifegoeson #cheersto2020 #beflexible #recalibrate #getshitdone
Food prep after a weekend away means messy and multi tasking. Meatloaf and turkey tacos on the menu this week! #foodprepsunday #planahead #foodisfuel #fixatemeatloaf #fixatetacomeat #fixatecookbook #meatloaf #turkeytacos #eatyourveggies
I went on a business trip this week. This is the highlight reel....thanks @iamnotaweed #businesstravel #lifeisgood #hotelduck #carrotcake #10pmonaWednesday #canttakeyourselftooseriously
Switching things up to vegan vanilla Shakeology today. Added some frozen diced cauliflower too for a serving of veggies. Pretty good 👍🏼👍🏼 #shakeology #eatyourveggies #foodisfuel #proteinshake #beachbody #morningshake #riseandgrind #hellosaturday
Workout 25/100. Woohooo! Really loving the Morning Meltdown program. I should be farther along, but life has been crazy hectic. I’ll just keep plugging away. #mm100 #beachbodyondemand #progressoverperfection #getitdone #jerichomcmatthews #workitout
MM100 Confession: I’m cheating on my program...with a different workout 😬 . Here’s the thing. I wrote out all my workouts in my calendar...and then vacation, work and life travel happened. And then we had a short week. I couldn’t bring myself to complete a partial week🤦🏻‍♀️ . So I made up two workouts that I had missed....and today I did my favorite 20 minute workout with @joelfreemanfitness #liftandhiitfullbodyexpress . I could have got all bent out of shape and just waited until Monday to do ANYTHING...but life happens. So I adjusted and I still worked out. I’m sure @jerichomcmatthews would approve 😜 . Life is always changing. Presenting new challenges and opportunities. We can get ‘stuck’ or we can be flexible, recalibrate and get shit done 👍🏼👊🏼💪🏼 . #beachbodyondemand #strongaf ##joelfreemanfitness #liftandhiit #jerichomcmatthews #mm100 #morningmeltdown100 #foodisfuel #creatingspaceforme #beflexible #recalibrate #getshitdone #thisis36 #mommasgotgoals #getyourmindright #progressoverperfection
