Sleep babes… I know your mind is wired and over stimulated… but sleep will be your new best friend. It allows you to reset your body and mind so you’re not always on the verge of a mental breakdown or physical immobility. You’ll be better off with a good night sleep or a day to mental distress yourself. Wednesday I got up, made my protein smoothie, cleaned the kitchen, made my gym bag, then proceeded to sprawl out on the couch. I knew I was exhausted the night before and I barely get an hour of REAL sleep at night as it is. I felt a tad bit of guilt for not actually getting up to workout. I even went to work in the evening and thought I’d be able to workout in the evening time… yea that didn’t happen either. Got off of work and went straight to bed. Listen to your body babes. It will always tell you what you need. #fiftydaysoffit #fitnessjourney

Everyone’s journey and reasoning for starting is different. I started Fifty Days of Fit to push myself beyond what I started 4 years ago and to be able to keep a visual journal of my day to day. My plan is to post each of my days til October 21st, telling my story, showing my workouts, what I eat on a regular basis, and how I form my everyday life to fit my health/fitness life. This post is me on September 3rd showcasing how I start my workouts lifting my own body mass before I lift any weights. Lifting my own weight is my ultimate goal. I start with at least 10 reps per set of pushups and gradually increasing the reps the more sets I do. For my pull-ups, I do a variation always making sure I get at least 3-4 pull-ups each variation or until I max out. #fiftydaysoffit #fitnessjourney

Let’s teach our young ones the act of asking for help and participating in spaces they have never been in before.

The struggle on this day was real. I just wanted to curl up in bed and sleep. My brain is usually on 1000, but now my body AND brain are on 1000 EVERYDAY. There’s this thing I’m trying to accomplish (we’ll talk specifics another day) and it requires me to be on Go mode 24/7. I lived a soft girl life the last 3 years and now babes… LIFE IS LIFING 😫 But regardless of the stress I’m under I’ve always managed to succeed. Favored by God cause I ALWAYS receive my blessings… on Gods timing.

People always think I’m angry because my face always looks so serious. Little do yall know I’m thinking about the time I was in 8th grade getting dropped off at house parties and dance battling other girls in a dance circle to Uncle Luke🤷🏽‍♀️

💙 Keep going babes… the belief in yourself is all you need.

Shout out to my sister! Real MVP 😘 ##fiftydaysoffit##fitnessjourney##pullups##pushups
