Back in the gym, building strength, and reminding myself what this journey is really about.

Today’s wins: 20 splat points, 517 calories, an 11-week strength-training streak, and 2 new personal bests. I’m proud of myself for showing up and getting stronger.

But I’m also working on changing my mindset around food. I know being more intentional about what I eat is part of taking care of myself, and I’m learning to approach it as an act of self-care rather than another thing I have to get right.

My goal isn’t just to lose weight. It’s to protect my knees, preserve my muscle, improve my mobility, and give myself the best chance of aging with strength and vitality.

Healthy living isn’t a finish line. It’s a series of conscious choices we make for the person we want to be tomorrow.

One workout. One meal. One decision at a time. I’m building a healthier future for myself, and I’m proud of that.

100 CLASSES.
ONE STRONGER ME. 🧔

There were days I felt strong, and days I had to fight to show up at all. But every class became a choice to keep going—to believe in myself, build healthier habits, and invest in the future I’m creating.

100 classes later, I’m not just stronger physically. I’m more resilient, more confident, and reminded that transformation doesn’t happen overnight. It happens one decision, one challenge, and one consistent step at a time.

This journey is about so much more than fitness. It’s about longevity, mental health, community, and proving that even when life gets heavy, I can keep moving forward.

Celebrating this milestone with people who understand the journey makes it even more meaningful. We don’t just celebrate the number—we celebrate every moment it took to get here.

SIS, never underestimate the power of showing up for yourself. Small steps become lasting change. Consistency becomes strength. And one day, you’ll look back and realize how far you’ve come.

Here’s to the next 100!

I’m not trying to get skinny. I’m trying to get OLD and still be ACTIVE! šŸ’ŖšŸ½šŸ’—

I’ve officially signed up with Berry Street to get some professional support with my weight-loss journey.

My goal? Lose 25 pounds.

But this isn’t about fitting into smaller jeans or chasing a number on the scale.

I have osteoarthritis in my knees, and I want to reduce the pressure on my joints, move more comfortably, and improve my quality of life as I age. I want to keep hiking, kayaking, traveling, dancing, lifting weights, and doing all the things that make life FUN!

I’m already active, but I’m learning that working out and taking care of your body are only pieces of the longevity puzzle.

Sometimes we need additional tools, professional guidance, and a willingness to make changes.

For me, this is about being intentional with the body I’m going to live in for the next 30+ years. I’m not just working on losing weight. I’m investing in my future mobility, independence, and freedom.

SIS, what is ONE thing you’re doing today that your 75-year-old self will thank you for?

SIS, it’s time for another Hood Chick Affirmation!

I’m trying something new and committing to dropping ONE new coloring page every week. One page. Every week. We’re building this collection one bad-ass affirmation at a time. šŸ’…šŸ¾

This week’s affirmation:

ā€œTHE ONLY BUSINESS I MIND IS THE ONE THAT PAYS.ā€

Because SIS… there are bills to pay, goals to reach, money to make, and a whole life to live. Other people’s business simply isn’t on the schedule.

šŸ–ļø Grab your crayons, colored pencils, markers, or whatever you love to color with and make this one yours.

And if you color it, I want to see it! Tag me or drop your finished masterpiece in the comments.

Same time next week? Absolutely.

One week.
One coloring page.
One more Hood Chick Affirmation.

Sis…

Y’all gon’ tweet. I’m gon’ fight.

šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

Because sometimes the timeline is doing entirely too much, and baby… typing ain’t gonna solve it.

This week’s coloring page is for the SIS who said:

ā€œI saw what you said.
I just chose not to respond… yet.ā€ šŸ˜‚

Grab your colored pencils, markers, crayons, whatever you’re working with, and bring this one to life!

And remember: color the page, not the person. 🤣

Drop a šŸ–ļø in the comments if this one speaks to you!

🌿 SIS Nature Escape

Sometimes you don’t need a big plan.

You just need to get outside.

A little trail.
A little fresh air.
A little exploring.
A little climbing on trees like you’re 12 again. šŸ˜‚

Today’s nature escape was at Lake Runnymede Conservation Area, and it reminded me why getting outside matters so much.

We spend so much of our lives taking care of everybody else, checking things off the list, solving problems and handling business.

But SIS… we need moments that are just for us, too.

Go walk a trail.
Sit by the water.
Explore somewhere you’ve never been.
Take the scenic route.
Laugh.
Play.
Be curious.

It doesn’t have to be a whole production.

Sometimes wellness looks like 30 minutes outside with nowhere else you need to be.

So consider this your reminder:

Get outside. Get curious. Make a little room for joy.

That’s what SIS is about.
Living. Exploring. Connecting. Aging with vitality.

SIS

🌓 This Week’s Coloring Page 🌓

STOMACH OUT. ASS OUT. TI***ES OUT. WHAT ABOUT IT?

Because sometimes the affirmation isn’t about changing a damn thing. It’s about being comfortable taking up space exactly as you are.

This week’s page is giving sun, curves, confidence, big hair, bikinis, and zero apologies. Four different women. Four different bodies. One message:

WHAT ABOUT IT?

Grab your pencils, markers, gel pens, glitter — whatever makes you happy — and color these bad bi***es exactly how YOU see them.

šŸ’— Color outside the lines. Take up space. Be loud about it.

Which girl are you coloring first? šŸ‘€

ā¤ļøSIS…

Friday reminder: sometimes you just need to show up.

I almost didn’t make it to this workout today.

I had to get blood work done, my schedule was already thrown off, and by the time it was time to work out, I was frustrated and honestly just over it.

But I had plans to meet two of my favorite workout partners, and I didn’t want to disappoint them — so I went.

And I’m SO glad I did.

The vibe was good. The energy was good. I got on that rower and somewhere along the way, my attitude started catching up with my body.

I wasn’t even trying to chase splat points today…

And somehow I ended up with 11+.

Funny how that works.

Sometimes the win isn’t crushing a workout.
Sometimes the win is not letting your mood make the decision for you.

I showed up frustrated and left grateful.

And that’s a pretty damn good Friday.

Show up. Do what you can. Let the rest unfold.
