Blessings are not just something that's immaculate; it takes hard work. They are messy, requires grit and at times, create devastating stories. The ones that you admire - or don't like - all have been blessed with something and at times, can be viewed as their burden. I bear a self inflicted weight to accomplish goals on my checklist and I'm called inspirational -- yet, the weight of the world rests on my breasts. When you reach a new high, the last thing you want to happen is allow it to consume you whole, spit you out raw, unkempt and dismantled-- especially not with an audience. I have been asking the universe to keep me humble with my blessings and when life gets real, I remember that this might have been something I asked for; but it's all good y'all. My blessings weren't handed to me in perfect packaging. They are as raw as my battle scars and for that, I'm still blessed in every sense of the word. All that glitters ain't gold but I can't complain when all I saw for years was copper.

Time has been kicking my ass so bad and I wonder if it's been skiing the same to you. January has been interesting and we're slowly shifting into a new month. Are you still kicking ass in your respective passions? I surely hope so. Share them with me.

Scaled my workouts back a bit. Try these eight moves and see how many circuits you can knock out. Set your own reps and tell me how it works out. #runningfatchef #fatrunner #spartantraining #spartanfinisher #arms #legs #glutes #core #athlete #plussizeathlete #endurance #strengthtraining #calisthenics #kettlebells #kettlebellas #jumprope #skirtsports #REALwomenmove #swiftwick #chaseadventure #doyouevenlift #womenwholift #fitmom #fitness #fitnessmotivation #hellobeautiful #blackgirlsrun (at Bedford–Stuyvesant, Brooklyn)

Slowly but surely finding my rhythm back into my regular fitness level. Yes guys...I remember that I had surgery and I'm taking extra precautions to make sure my insides heal before going berserk. Here's a glimpse of errr...I think Thursday's workout. I tend to edit these videos when I can catch a minute. I'm going to cruise on my bike a bit and do very light cross training today because I'll be doing an eighteen miler in the morning with @nyrr. Wish me luck 😉. #runningfatchef #fatrunner #spartanfinisher #ultramarathoner #marathoner #ultramarathoner #crosstraining #strengthtraining #calisthenics #kettlebells #kettlebellas #arms #legs #glutes #core #athlete #plussizeathlete #endurance #doyouevenlift #womenwholift #fitmom #fitness #fitnessmotivation #hellobeautiful #blackgirlsrun #skirtsports #REALwomenmove #swiftwick #chaseadventure (at New York, New York)

My partner workout at the crack of dawn with @dismantledthenovel was nutritious and delicious for the body 💪🏾😄👐. We murdered our arms, parts of our back, core and legs yesterday morning at the gym. People tend to find their favorite area of the gym and start to babysit the space every time that they workout. Instead, I want to encourage you guys to learn and try something different once a week. Regardless if your personal goal is to lose weight or condition yourself, trying new exercises safely and efficiently prevents boredom, fools the body and you're able to learn something new. Don't be afraid of challenging yourself. After the workout, I was too dead to go for miles of running. I'll knock it out this weekend. How's summer treating you thus far? #runningfatchef #fatrunner #kettlebells #kettlebellworkout #kettlebellswings #kettlebellas #battleropes #liftheavy #girlswithmuscle #womenwholift #doyouevenlift #arms #legs #glutes #core #calves #calisthenics #strengthtraining #pushups #burpees #crossfit #crosstraining #marathontraining #ultramarathontraining #nyrr60k #chicagomarathon #nycmarathontraining (at Blink Fitness Bryant Park)

Keep it simple but effective: 8 reps on each side (if applicable) and choose a weight that's slightly uncomfortable. Aim for form, not reps. Try this 2 to 4 rounds.
