I am ready to take charge, to become who I am meant to become. Most importantly I have a husband that supports me in my goals. Who loves me either way, but is glad I am taking charge of my health.
In the mornings of summer vacation I am up and ready to hit the gym. My kids go with me as they have to choice.
I traveled to Hawaii with my husband, and the fact that he was in awe of the small transformation made it all worth it. Almost all of the pictures he took on his phone are me from behind.
Spur of the moment put us in Hawaii. There wasn't time to get a new hair cut, or a new wardrobe. I wore the same clothes I wore last summer in El Paso, and I rocked them.
We had an opportunity to grow closer, to enjoy each other, and even while there he encouraged me to do something every day. We walked on the beach, the tourist strip, I held plank in the hotel room, I even showed off my ability to do burpees.
I earned this shirt. I showed up to every R.I.P.P.E.D. class that I could. I pushed myself, and I stepped outside of my box. I let myself rest on the weekends, and worked hard during the week. Now I have the shirt to prove that I worked for it, I earned it. This shirt makes me feel sexy and powerful and it doesn't matter that I'm a mom of three, my body will continue to transform. That is my goal.
This is me on the 4th of July. The amazing thing about this picture is that I am sporting unwashed for two days hair. I am giving a toast to myself for my hard work. I am relishing the fact that I am becoming a confident woman.
And here I am after a long weekend of mostly binge watching television shows. My alarm didn't go off. I woke up with a little over thirty minutes to get myself and my kids ready. And the kicker is I had taken showers during the weekend, but I didn't shave, so I couldn't wear my tank tops. It wasn't the best outfit, but hey I made it to class and I pushed through it.
Find your inner strength and get up and get going.
