Collage of me progressing…

What point did you realize adulting sucks? I couldn’t wait to grow-up…dumbness comes with youthfulness…..

👍Pros : Are there any, jk! My parents sugarcoated what was coming….adulthood slapped me in the face with reality really fast!

🤔Cons: I have made sure not to sugarcoat any situation my parents boys watched me endure, which included working 2 jobs and going to college-pregnant with our youngest son. I wanted them to have real expectations of what was coming, the good, the bad, & the ugly. I do not regret that decision at all! Idk what I did to deserve these boys, but I’m glad I did, they’re 22, 18, & 16 and I am so proud to be their mom!!

Random Thoughts

💭What's on my mind: even with this year being the worse emotional rollercoaster I’ve ever faced and even with God testing me back-to-back, my boys were what pulled me through it all!! Grief can really mess a person up, especially with no support. I couldn’t have hand picked better than how my boys rallied to be with me through my ride-or-die, sister from another mister-bff, suddenly passing away.

Current Mood: Mom Proud

A handwritten diagram on lined paper illustrates the 'Stages of Change' model as a cycle. It shows five stages: Pre-contemplation, Contemplation, Preparation, Action, and Maintenance, with 'Relapse' in the center. Each stage includes bullet points describing its characteristics, such as 'Not ready for change' or 'Actively taking steps to change'.
🖤Stages of Change
The Stages of Change model explains how people typically move through the process of modifying behavior. Change is viewed as a cycle rather than a single event. The five stages include: 1) Pre-contemplation • Not yet recognizing a problem • Not ready or willing to change 2) Contemplation

This is why you’re NOT “Toning Up”😬
Toning up is basically the process of losing fat and building muscle, which results in a more defined body. So if you’re not training with the goal of building muscle, it is going to be A LOT harder to get toned! 1. You need to LIFT HEAVY. Your muscles are forced to adapt when they’re continu
