Dempsey Lives Well

Anyone remember me??? Anyone? Hello?

Well if you do, hi I’m back! If you don’t, my name is Dempsey and I’m a certified personal trainer and yoga instructor, fitness enthusiast, endorphin junkie, chocolate lover living in LA. BEFORE I just jump right back into posting, I wanna give a brief life update so y’all know where I’m at :)

-I working multiple jobs/projects in the fitness industry. Still own PreGame Fit and am currently working on designing a new workout program. I’m a trainer at a tennis and fitness club in a bougie area of LA which is fun. The staff is great and I’m really enjoying that. More on it later. I’m a representative/influencer for Gold’s Gym. And I still do some work at the Aussie gym I’ve been at forever but hopefully (fingers crossed) going to be a trainer there soon

-I moved in with my boyfriend 😳

-My diet has changed quite a bit. I really enjoy just eating lots of Whole Foods with an emphasis on meat and veggies. I’m sure I’ll hop back on the fruit train once summer rolls around but incorporating more protein and FAT into my diet has done wonders for my body and is so sustainable for me.

-My running is finally coming around. I’m in PT but am able to do 4 quarter miles on the treadmill and am loving every second of it.

-I just miss sharing my life on here so I think this will be a place for some workouts, pics of my adventures (dirt biking last weekend), things I’m learning navigating my 20s, etc.

Like... a really long time. Life happens and I got caught up in work and friends and family in the best way possible but I miss Tumblr and blogging and all my friends on here so here’s a little life update and I’ll do a more detailed post later about my goals etc :))

-I’m still working at the gym that I started at last year. It’s been great but recently things have been kinda in turmoil. I was essentially promoted but there isn’t a real position for me and a lot of the fun has been taken out of it. Once again, I’ll fill y’all in more later but work has been exceedingly difficult lately. I thought that this place was all rainbows and unicorns and as I’ve found out it isn’t, it’s been quite a slap in the face and I need to refocus.

-PreGame is going well. I had a friend doing the social media but she’s really fallen off so I’m going to take it back even though I hate Instagram 😂 working out the next steps with the business in general but it’s still my baby and I’m v proud of it

-I really hurt my back about 7 months ago. It was an old injury that got aggravated by too many front desk shifts at TM (moving weights and cleaning mats). I have 2 herniated discs in my lower back - one 8 mm and one 7 mm. I’ve been in PT off and on and got 2 epidural steroid injections and I’m in a much better place than I was a few months ago but still not 100% or even remotely close. It’s definitely been frustrating but it makes me appreciate my health when I do have it.

-I switched my diet up for the first time in awhile and I’ve been pretty happy with the results. I feel really fit and strong.

-I’ve been seeing a guy from work (he’s a trainer) for a few months and I’m v happy with how it’s going. He’s a bit older than me but I think that’s good for me and we just have fun, literally doing anything. He’s so kind and I’m just really happy he came into my life.
