5am club!! Well, technically 5:15 after I snooze. 🤪 But up and at it. This is my third week back into a morning workout routine and it’s getting easier and my body is expecting it. I’m feeling stronger...hopefully my clothes will start to feel looser this week! . One thing that helps me be successful is accountability. Knowing that I’ve told someone else I’ll be getting up early with them and committing to a ‘good morning’ text makes such a difference in my mindset. For whatever reason, I can break a promise to myself, but not a friend. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 🤣 Get yourself an accountability partner who believes in you, pushes you, encourages you and wants to grow with you. #crazyhairdontcare #mommasgotgoals #strongaf #creatingspaceforme #accountability #accountabilitypartner #5amclub #foodisfuel #feedyourbodyandyourmind #sweatsesh #workitout
All my favorites. It’s been too long since I’ve had a weekend to prep like this and I’ve missed it. Prepping my food for the week sets me up for success and helps get my head in the game. . I’ll eat the same thing during the day and alternate different proteins for dinner...homemade grilled chicken nuggets and beef stew. . Ready for the week. Are you? #foodisfuel #eattherainbow #myfavoritefoods #foodprepsunday #keepitsimple #quinoaeggcups #settingmyselfupforsuccess
It’s hard to feel successful when things are hard. I often associate success with perfection instead of progress. But it’s the progress that keeps us moving forward towards the perfection. Even if it’s a struggle. . I often want things to be easy and perfect. I want to feel successful and like I’ve achieved something. But the truth is, easy and perfect rarely equal success. The success is achieved by overcoming the challenges along the way. . I’m changing my perspective to embrace the struggle and realize that it’s part of my path to success. Personally, professionally, emotionally and physically. Embrace the struggle....that’s where I will see my progress. #creatingspaceforme #mommasgotgoals #strongaf #progressoverperfect #thestruggleisreal #embracethestruggle #personalgrowth #changeisgood #roadtosuccess #bemybestforthem

Another quick day trip. I snapped this pic expecting it to be a blur...but to my surprise, the skyline is perfect. #nyc #workworkworkworkwork #daytripper #homeforbedtime
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
