A throwback reminder on how I forgot how hard learning something new can be, persistence is 🔑, and the ground gets harder as you get older.

Escaping this brutal cold for.... more cold ❄️ Quick getaway 🔜 to Tahoe coming up - taking any & all recommendations!

But don’t worry @colpjennings you’ll be fine...

Be respectful to your body, but also to those who respect theirs.
•
Last week I got the flu, it was about as fun as it sounds. I’m usually not one of those people who takes multiple guilt trips about fitnessing when things are slightly out of my control, but it was definitely top of mind considering today was my first gym session in 5 days.
•
It’s okay for your body to rest when it needs it. It’s also okay to still move when you’re sick, if you’re up for it. Trust your own judgement.
•
But don’t be a dick. If you’re sick and want to “sweat it out”, do it in your own gym, living room, bedroom, whatever. Just move & be respectful.
•
I have no doubt that I got sick because of someone who decided to go to the gym sick and “push through it” or because of someone who “sucked it up” and went into work 🖕🏼and I know, I know, something’s “going around”.... just more of a reason to stay home 🤷🏼‍♀️
•
A quick trip to urgent care + quarantining myself and I’m almost back to 💯.. just in time for some upcoming travel!

Our first Valentine’s day as a married couple & I’m experiencing flu-like symptoms.
•
Sorry for snotting all over your pillow last night, coughing & sweating on your side of the bed and cancelling my Brazilian today...
•
Can’t wait to stare at you from across the room later while I wait for the tamiflu to kick in.
•
Happy Valentine’s Day @douano20 I wish we were dancing in warmer weather tonight 🖤

For the record, I’m not promoting multi-tasking, as depicted, but the reality is that sometimes it happens.
•
The reality is that with the nature and structure of my job, there is minimal disconnection. The reality is that boundaries are not always respected. The reality is that “9-5” is not a thing. The reality is that sometimes asking for 90..even 60 minutes to yourself is a stretch.
•
The reality is that I had a limited window of time to put in the work and the clock was ticking. So I worked.

Too much fun gettin’ my reps in for rescues in my hometown this morning at @cfmotown 💪🏼🍑🐶 THE BEST cause, in my very personal opinion. Look at this wittle hippo 🖤
•
Jersey Pits Rescue Inc. works tirelessly to save one pitbull at a time from inner cities and high kill shelters. This effort is both emotional and expensive, as many of the animals they rescue have been mistreat, neglected and require costly medical care.
•
‼️Hey Hoboken... STAY TUNED!!!‼️

Responsibilities in my periphery... focusing on the simple things that make me happy. The things that are right in front of me, or in this case, to the back/left...

An interrupted routine is the perfect time to improvise & sometimes improvising is an incredibly liberating thing...
•
To know you can still put in the work regardless of your surroundings. To ensure you can “go with the flow” when necessary. To solidify the fact that your well being doesn’t revolve around a specific location, but rather a mindset.
•
I find myself needing a break from the gym lately. Totally normal & it’s times like these when I welcome the chance to improvise.
•
This morning consisted of @romwod, some hip circuits prescribed by @lhoyt23 & rowing intervals in my in-laws garage. ‘Twas a family affair 🍑

All I’ve been doing this week is complaining about how I’m not in Florida anymore.
•
I’m cold & cranky, but there are some pros to being in the Northeast during the holidays that I keep on reminding myself:
- sweats all day every day
- beanies
- sipping hot soup out of a coffee mug at all hours of the day
- the smell of firewood
- high concentration of the people I love in one area
•
I love giving gifts to the people I love. It makes me happy to see them happy. It also helps that I enjoy shopping for other people... and for myself.. shopping in general, really (relax @douano20) 💁🏼‍♀️
•
Pictured is my favorite toddler with one of my favorite purchases of the season - a book called “Rescuing Reed The Little Dog Who Could” - a story featuring a black pitmix rescue dog named Reed, who happens to look just like my rescue, Captain. Also, a story that makes me cry every time I read it.
•
It’s moments like this that turn my cold & cranky ass into the still cold, but fun & sensitive aunt that I was meant to be 🖤
•
We got through the book & then played dress up to make ‘Aunt Britta feel better’..... you try explaining ‘happy tears’ to a 2.5 year old!

My spider veins are begging for some beach time. Between this move & the coldest December that I can remember, my thickness needs a break.

Who else is traveling for the holidays? Anything to escape this Northeast weather, amiright⁉️⁉️
