Get outside! Get a tan! Make sure that having fun is more of a priority.
I struggle with this because I am always working toward something. Over the past couple of weeks, USUpcycled became a real thing. A d/b/a, a sales tax certification, a display in a shop in Waterford. Goals, dreams, self-imposed deadlines. I've always had that hustle; that's what has made me a valuable employee over the past decade.
I can't help but remember how my ex-husband didn't value my ideas and questions when it came to his business. He would always tell me I didn't know, I didn't understand because I didn't have a business of my own. He didn't believe in me ~ well, this future success is for you and all the others that were dismissive and unsupportive ~ you are a part of my motivation.
Success is in front of me - in all aspects.
And so are the moments of sitting on my couch with a cup of coffee and a kick-ass jar of overnight oats. Seriously - take advantage of the abundance around us - rhubarb is everywhere. Pick it and make strawberry rhubarb overnight oats. It's amazing.
I still make the time to be a better, healthier me - with my girl who hates her picture taken. We lift, we take difficult HIIT classes, we play with our boxing gloves on Friday nights at the Y because there aren't classes going on. And we eat everything. That's something we gotta work on but I'm finding it so fun to just enjoy life as the moments come. To be me, not have to worry about being a role model for others.
Fitness has and will always be a big part of my life and passion. Just because I no longer instruct classes now doesn't mean I gave up or that I would never go back to personal training/group training in the future.
Cheers to life in 2017 being refocused, revamped and upcycled 💜💜💜
