This offseason is going to be epic. Mark my words... tired of knocking on the door.. time to kick the d.a.m.n. door DOWN.

I get asked often "How Do You Stay Motivated?" It's simple. I don't. There are days where I have absolutely ZERO motivation. And I eat and train exactly the same as I do on days where motivation is abundant. LEARN TO WORK WITHOUT IT.

Forever my challenge, but getting better every.single.day at letting that sh** go that doesn't serve me or grow me.

That is the only reason I WILL eventually get where I want to be... It's not genetics (that makes me laugh)... And it sure as heck is not talent. It's just never ever stopping until I get there.

Last week I considered settling... Thought about just being content with being the only female in my gym with any muscle... content to say 'good enough'... content to say 'these are the cards my genetics dealt me'. no. No. NO. NOOOOO.

That look in his eyes... he's not running to be 'fit'. or because he thinks he is too fluffy. He moves because he loves it. Eyes on the target. Fall in love with the process and the physique will just follow.

If you look at your dream and think 'realistic and achievable"... you better dream bigger. Blow yourself away with what you achieve.

Way beyond burning calories at this point. Way past the point of no return on this journey. It's part of me now.

I stayed 'stuck' for far too long and it is HARD to get away from that. But once you do? The freedom is amazzzzzing. Not everything will be a great success. That's ok. I will take a failed attempt at something over STUCK any day.

.. Saw this last night in a school building.. LOVE. Chase the extra degree. Blow yourself away with what you can achieve.

Mission accomplished. Had to move 1000 miles away to do it... But whatever it takes, do it. Your life depends on it. Xo
