Life Of An Omboy

Oh what a week 😅 #tgif https://www.instagram.com/p/CiS9OTYLla6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

One month with my trainer @bodybybunch_ and you can see a difference. I have a much better understanding of what I’m doing at the gym and I’m more mindful of the things I eat. I cook more now and I can count the times I’ve gone out to eat on one hand and I’ve cut out consuming alcohol. On the plus side, my stomach is no longer upset, I have close that fit, and I have more energy. For now I celebrate how far I’ve come and continue on this unending journey 🙌🏽 (at San Antonio, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiP2pjprC9v/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

2 years ago, I recognized that I wasn’t happy with my life. I no longer had the dream or passion to be a school principal and I also wanted to experience life out of El Paso. The first step was enrolling in this graduate program to obtain my Masters in Public Administration or MPA. This decision opened a huge door by giving me the skills to work for the City of San Antonio. As my course work is completed, I have my capstone project left until graduation. My team and I will be working with the City of Mansfield to create a program that trains k-9’s to detect water leaks in pipes. I’m definitely excited for what this project entails! 14 more weeks and graduation will be here! 👨🏽‍🎓 (at San Antonio, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiL-H7ULDGl/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

While the world is obsessed with hustle culture, I march to the the beat of a different drummer. Working in public service means constantly refilling your cup because you can’t pour from and empty cup! ❤️ (at Austin, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiIq70RLJWS/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I found my lower back really tight today and it was then I realized, yesterday I did legs 😅 https://www.instagram.com/p/CiIQ7dOrTUP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I remember avoiding weights and heading straight for the cardio equipment because I was afraid of being judged. Going into a yoga studio can feel the same way when you’re not strong or flexible. Through yoga, I learned about a drishti or gazing point. When your eyes focused on something, your mind is present on the work ahead. Combined with noise isolation, this has helped me become gym confident. Every Body is worthy of taking care of their overall health! Don’t let anyone stop you from doing so!

Starting week 4 of my training with @bodybybunch_ One of the things that I’m most impressed about him, is he not only knows about fitness and nutrition but about building a culture of success with his clients. Every Thursday, we have a weekly zoom call where he talks to us but gives time for people to share their stories of their progress. This last week it was nice to hear that others were having similar experiences in their own journeys. This is what breeds success! It doesn’t happen in insolation 😃 (at Gold's Gym) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiDg269rWaJ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I’m evolving…. 8 years ago I took my first yoga class. Since then, it’s been a staple in my life keep me centered through the flow of life. My yoga practice has always been about reaping the physical and mental benefits. I’m slowly moving away from the physical practice of yoga as I’ve found that weightlifting (and stretching before ) are keeping my body healthy and with running are quite meditative. In the next month I plan on increasing the days that I go to the gym as it’s what’s bringing me joy. https://www.instagram.com/p/CiAyE2urWzS/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Is that my camera? -Judy Garland It’s nights like tonight when I’m in the company of friends that I realize, yeah this is my life now 😄 My first experience watching #rpdr was watching season 5 with @thejinkx she’s only gotten funnier 😆 All hail the Queen of Queens 👑 (at The Bonham Exchange) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ch_mPB-PTH5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“If you get to the top of the mountain Find a bigger mountain!” @bodybybunch_ shared that quote in one of his stories today. I’ve come a long way, but I’m only getting started. When I took the pic on the left in March I was sidelined from the gym and yoga due to not knowing what I was doing at the gym and injuring myself 😅 I’ve made a lot of progress this year, but the thirst to keep pushing myself to be better in all aspects of my life is real! “It's the journey The continued pursuit of growth The constant seeking of improvement The challenge That's what makes life great That's what makes a fulfilled life” (at San Antonio, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ch6GDh_LWy6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Today marks 4 months since I uprooted my entire life and moved to SA 😃 So much has happened in 4 months that it feels much longer! I’ll be forever grateful for this opportunity ❤️ (at San Antonio, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ch2ckeArZOe/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I’m barely going on my second check in with my training with @bodybybunch_ and in two weeks I’ve made the progress that typically would have taken me a month. 😃 This is only the beginning! For now we keep going! 💪🏽💪🏽 https://www.instagram.com/p/Chz-pZgLh-J/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I learned a valuable lesson from my experience with my trainer. Having a trainer made me realize that not all feedback is meant to crush me but help me grow as an individual. I mean I’m literally paying him to help me reach my goals😅 it’s not going to change overnight, but I can be more conscious of it 😃 (at Gold's Gym) https://www.instagram.com/p/Chs4vI2r2Uo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It only took 3 tries to finally face the camera and smile 😊 This was such a short trip, but it was filled with a lot of fun experiences that I will hold onto forever. ❤️ (at Dallas, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChqeCqVLLwX/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

When In Dallas it’s always a pleasure to visit my favorite hiking buddy @915gigigonz 😄 (at Dallas, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/Chp8vGBOqb4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
