“Every action you take is a vote 🗳 for the type of person you wish to become.” - @jamesclear

Last month, I finally 🙌🏾 got around to “reading” (confession: it was an audio book😅) Atomic Habits by James Clear and, frankly, I felt attacked. And then I felt incredibly inspired.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My most powerful takeaway? We are a sum of our habits (scary thought, right?!).
🔸Writers write ✍🏾 .
🔸Liars lie 🤥.
🔸Artist make art👩🏾‍🎨.
🔸Cheaters cheat😈!
🔸Fitness lovers get active...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, as a self-proclaimed fitness lover, I’m working my way back to consistent habits that feel like ME! And, with my mini-desk-calendar-turned-workout-tracker in plain sight, I’m giving myself a little “YOU GO GIRL 🤩💫” every chance I get!

My journey back to Hot Girl Abs 🤪💃🏾😅—and handstands🤸🏾‍♀️—is underway! [📌save this for later]

This year's combo of gym closures🏋🏾‍♀️, solo yoga practices🧘🏾‍♀️, reoccurring quarantine blues🥺, and straight up LAZINESS🥱 has my body looking/feeling/performing completely different these days. My flexibility, strength, and endurance has been suffering...but it's never too late to get started🚦 (again), right?!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So I'm back to strengthening my handstand practice💪🏾, and I'm leveraging planks as my secret weapon🥷! Take a look at a few of my favorite varitions. This equiptment-free, post-run workout left me drenched and feeling so strong!

"I came so that they may have life and have it abundantly." #John10v10

I spent so much of this year praying for life BEYOND this season. And now, as we welcome the last month of 2020, I'm pushing myself to dwell in the fullness of each of the 30ish days that remain.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This month, as we prepare to celebrate the promise of life and salvation that Jesus' birth fulfilled, I'm reminded that there is always room for joy. That I don't have to wait for the new year to feel refreshed and renewed. That an abundant life is well within my reach.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This Advent season, I'm praying for y’all, too! That you make space to dwell in hope and peace of mind (instead of anxiety and frustration), as I try to do the same.

'Tis the season to shop for gifts 🎁 that WON'T be regifted throughout the year 😩! [save this post]
⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'll be the first to admit that I’m not someone who’s a naturally great gift giver (sorry, Mom 🙈)! But this year, I got an early start and thought long and hard about gifts I could confidently gift this season.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Today, my wellness inspired holiday gift guide is up #ontheblog. And the best part–everything on the list is less than $50 🤑 (and a few are on sale right now)!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Which of these would YOU want to be gifted this holiday season? #liketkit #liketkitunder50 #liketkithome @liketoknow.it http://liketk.it/32xUq

Two weeks since I took this pic and Dallas’ “run in shorts” weather is already over?! 🗣 I DESERVE BETTER!

This week has been cold and rainy🌧, but today, the sun came out. So I strapped Hula🦮 to my waist and we went for a run.
And y’all, it was just what I needed.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These past few month, my favorite gyms closed, I “lost” my local fitness community, I became really anxious about getting sick, and...my body started changing. A few pounds and some never-before-seen curves later, I’ve had to reckon with my self-imposed identify as someone who is “FIT”💪🏾🏋🏾‍♀️.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This season has been a challenge, but today was a great reminder that my goal is to be “WELL”, not just “fit.” That competing with my former self is ridiculous 🤦🏾‍♀️. And that my identity is independent of being slower, less sculpted, and less active than I’ve ever been.
⠀⠀⠀
Tonight’s mantra 🙏🏾:
I am whole in God.
Today, and everyday, is proof that I was made in His image.
He’s known me, He’s formed me, and He’s loved me from the start.
