Press on

It’s easy to get discouraged on your fitness journey, especially when the progress seems slow or the results aren’t immediate. Maybe you’re hitting a plateau, feeling exhausted, or just finding it hard to stay motivated. But here’s the truth—fitness is so much more than the numbers on a scale or the weights you lift. It’s about the daily victories you don’t always see, the strength you build with each moment of effort, and the resilience that grows every time you press on.

Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been at this for a while, remember that every step, every rep, and every push brings you closer to your goals. Even when it feels hard, the effort is worth it. There’s power in consistency. You may not feel like you're changing day by day, but over time, your persistence will show—in your strength, endurance, and mindset. That’s what fitness truly is: a journey of growth, challenge, and transformation.

The process may be slow, and the days may feel tough, but your future self will thank you for not giving up. It’s not always easy to keep going, but that’s exactly why it’s worth it. It’s in those moments of fatigue, when you’re tempted to quit, that you build something greater than just muscle—you build resilience, dedication, and a mindset that can carry you through any challenge.

“But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.”* — Isaiah 40:31

Pressing on is an act of faith. It’s trusting that every bit of effort will pay off, even if you can’t see the results yet. So don’t stop. Keep showing up. Keep pushing yourself. Your body and mind will thank you, and the victories you’re working toward will come in ways far beyond just fitness. You are stronger than you think, and you’ve already come so far—so keep going!

The Last Day of Being 39

It’s hard to believe, but today is the last day of being 39, and I find myself looking back on this past decade with so much gratitude. My 30s have been a whirlwind of change, growth, and discovery, and now, as I prepare to step into 40, I feel more excited than ever for what’s to come. One of the biggest things this year has been starting this “Get 5” business. After all of the dreaming, planning, and working through the challenges, it’s finally happening. This journey has pushed me out of my comfort zone and taught me so much about patience, perseverance, and trusting the process. I’m stoked about what The Lord has allowed us to build so far, and I can’t wait to see where this new venture takes us.  I feel overwhelmingly blessed to share this journey with the people I love most—my incredible husband, James, and our three amazing daughters. James has been my rock through all the ups and downs, always supporting me, encouraging me, and believing in me when I’ve doubted myself. And our

Carpe Diem

As the week winds down and Friday arrives, I can’t help but reflect on all the blessings the Lord has given me. Each moment, whether big or small, holds significance. Today, I was reminded of something powerful:there is nothing too small to pray for.  It’s easy to think that only the big challenges deserve prayer, but God cares about every detail of our lives. When we bring even the smallest concerns to Him, we open the door for His grace to work in unexpected ways. It can be easy to take things for granted—the busy days blend together, and we forget to pause and appreciate the goodness around us. But today, I’m taking a moment to soak it all in: the simple joys, the answered prayers, the quiet moments of peace. Gratitude, it changes everything! It shifts our perspective from what we don’t have to what we’ve been blessed with. As the week comes to an end, it's not just about coasting into the weekend. Finishing the week with discipline is a choice—one that builds the foundation for

Nercited

Have you ever felt nervous and excited all at once? It’s that flutter in your stomach, the buzzing in your mind when something new is just around the corner. I like to call it feeling “nercited.” It’s that perfect mix of nerves and excitement that hits right before stepping out of your comfort zone and into the unknown. We all face these moments—starting a new job, moving to a different city, or even starting a new fitness class. It’s so easy to stick to what we know, where it’s safe and predictable. But there’s a certain kind of magic in the unknown, where growth happens, where we become more than we ever thought possible. That’s where courage comes in. Courage isn’t about not feeling fear; it’s about feeling the fear and still choosing to move forward. We Need to develop a constant push to be better and to take action, even when we’d rather stay in our comfort zone. There are days when it feels like a battle against your own willpower. But the payoff? It’s incredible. You get to the
