Jason Morgan and the ladies (including my mom and her friends from Tally) at Revivery | Sauna + Cold Plunge 🥳🥳

Trying something new can be hard… But always a little easier with a few friends 😁 So proud of Dixie Furlong, Danley Skelly and Diane Susil Eakin for crushing their 1st class 💪

And as you can see in the 2nd pic, its still hard for me to get in sometimes, even 3 years later!! But totally worth it every time. WE CAN DO HARD THINGS TOGETHER 🙌

Owl’s Head, NY (Part 1)

Annette K. Scott has done it again 🥳 This is now the 4th retreat I’ve done with this amazing lady and I can’t wait till the next one 😉 The fellow travelers from both Kodawari Studios and Revivery | Sauna + Cold Plunge made the last few days so relaxing, adventurous and hilarious!! Laughter is so good for the soul and laugh we did 🤣 Meeting her parents was definitely the icing on the cake 🤩

Hit a HUGE milestone today 🤩 And its not what the scale says bc that changes every day… Swipe to see what I shared with my coaches Sean Jacobs MS CSCS | Strength • Movement • Longevity and Laura Elizabeth Mahoney Jacobs from Sean & Laura Jacobs | Functional Health & Fitness. They have been with me every step of the way and (dare I say) even make this process enjoyable.

I still have shoulder, back and once in a while hip issues. But I now know how to scale back when needed and when to keep going. I recently learned that setbacks are part of the game for everyone who trains to get stronger and makes massive lifestyle changes, not just mid-lifers like me. So I’m in good company!

I love lifting but the 20 min full effort cardio is intense. The treadmill (on an incline) tries to defeat me every time but I win in the end, barely 💪🥵 If I can make a comeback at 52, so can you. I believe in you but you have to believe in yourself even more… ❤️🥰

I was so anxious to go back to the gym yesterday after my back completely seized up last Friday 😭 I kept telling myself I’m too old to be doing this bc I’m 52 (I’m not) and what if I make it worse (I didn’t). My trainer Sean Jacobs MS CSCS | Strength • Movement • Longevity told me that if I am being consistent, doing the work and pushing the edges of what I can do (in a safe way) then setbacks WILL happen. They happen to everyone.

In the past when I had a training setback, I went from all in to zero. It doesn’t work, I know from experience. Everything just got tighter and the less I moved, the worse it got.

Movement really IS medicine bc Sean started me on some easy mobility exercises after it happened and I instantly started feeling my back loosening up. I just wish I hadn’t waited so long to message him that day. But I was embarrassed, it felt like a commercial for old people happening in slow motion 😜 I reached up to get something out of a cabinet and then severe pain.

Well I did conquer my fear yesterday and walked back in the door. That’s always the hardest part for me. I thought I would have to scale back my session but I actually hit a PR and goblet squatted 30lbs for my last set 💪

And yes, this was after extra mobility work to make sure I was ok 😉 Do I feel perfect? Definitely not but I moved my body and will keep doing so for as long as it lets me. This is for the long haul so Sean (and Laura Elizabeth Mahoney Jacobs) you’re stuck with me 🙃

And I can’t wait to go back tomorrow!!

I look so tired in this picture. Because I am… Asthma will do that to you. But I also look happy because I AM!! I finally made it back to my happy place after being sick for 2 weeks…

Today’s goal was to step thru the door. Do some mobility work and walk on the treadmill. Make it a habit again while ignoring the all or nothing thinking that has stopped me from starting over in the past.

Baby steps count. Slow and steady counts. I did the thing and I’m proud 🙌

Thank you Sean Jacobs MS CSCS | Strength • Movement • Longevity and Laura Elizabeth Mahoney Jacobs for pushing me when I can handle it and letting me know it’s OK to rest when it’s truly needed. So grateful for your guidance 🙃

I am SO pumped I’m going from 250lbs on the leg press BACK to 160lbs 🥳 Now we’re working on a much deeper range of motion and OMG I’m going to hurt in a few days 🤣

My trainer now has me working towards more body comp goals since my mobility is so much better than when I started 7 months ago. I feel like I’ve graduated from lifting weights so I don’t break a hip when I’m older to lifting bc I LOVE it! Not bad for a 52 year old 😉

Thank you Sean Jacobs MS CSCS | Strength • Movement • Longevity and Sean & Laura Jacobs | Functional Health & Fitness for beating me up today, it was awesome 🙌

And I’m super grateful I’ll be working the Revivery | Sauna + Cold Plunge 1 year Birthday Celebration tomorrow morning from 7-10am 🥳🥳 Contrast therapy sounds perfect right now…

Tickets are still available and include food and giveaways!! Come say hi tomorrow if you live in Tampa 🔥❄️🔥

6 months in with Sean & Laura Jacobs | Functional Health & Fitness 🥳

Forever grateful to Sean Jacobs MS CSCS | Strength • Movement • Longevity and Laura Elizabeth Mahoney Jacobs for their expert guidance as well as their kindness and willingness to work with a true beginner. My chronic injuries will always be in the background, but they are almost invisible now and no longer define me or my capabilities.

And I am now in the pre-diabetic range with my A1C and finally stopped being scared of carbs! They are so important for my workouts and I get exhausted without them.

I can’t wait to see what the next 6 months look like with both of them by my side 💪😁

is not for the weak 😜 But it’s a haven for the weird, wacky and wonderful humans that I encounter there frequently. A place where you can truly be yourself and be celebrated for it 🥰 Come join us and you can be a Kodaweirdo too!!

Hospice Volunteer Luncheon at the beautiful Columbia Restaurant 🥰

So honored to be standing next to these 2 beautiful souls. My volunteer coordinators work tirelessly to make sure all of their patients and caregivers are taken care of in multiple ways.

There are so many ways to get involved with LifePath Hospice through the ! I work with kids who have lost a love one, deliver birthday bags for milestone birthdays, assist with the annual Celebration of Light, celebrate veterans during their Valor Ceremony and my favorite- offer respite care for very deserving full-time caregivers. This is not to brag- but to show you how diverse the opportunities are to serve your fellow human in need.

There are also volunteers who feel called to work in the 2 local Hospice Houses, make phone calls to patients, do various admin work, sew blankets, bring a therapy pet to patients, and SO much more.

If you have the time, be a volunteer in whatever type of organization you feel called to do so. Do it for your community and also for yourself. I promise you will learn so much and be more grateful for the little things in life, which sometimes ARE the big things…
