DON’T GIVE UP… even though you’ve already given a lot.

H.O.T. (Humble Open Transparent) moment, the first picture (Blue Shorts) was taken a year after I had already been working out 5 days a week with a personal trainer, meal prepping, drinking water and cutting out sweets & after seeing this picture I almost QUIT… 

I wasn’t seeing results fast enough & it didn’t feel like the reward was matching the sacrifice but then I heard this quote⬇️

“Most people overestimate what they can do in one year and underestimate what they can do in ten years.”
-Bill Gates

I decided after reading that quote I was gonna KEEP GOING no matter how slow the progress was… as soon as I stopped caring about the finish line—— I honestly fell in love with the  journey of pushing my self beyond my last limit and encouraging other around me to join in the journey.

What a difference a year has made… I was way closer to unlocking a new version of me than I thought…you might be too! 

mrs.natalietodd I almost got you that 1 Ab I promised you…😅 give me til the end of the year! But foreal thank you babe for loving me through the THICK & THIN and taking both of these pictures with pride! I love you forever
