I took a train from Croatia to Germany a few years back, and we went through the Alps. Gotta say, the view from my window wasn’t so bad 😉 who else enjoys travelling by rail?

Here’s what losing 45lbs has done to my face! Left is in August and right is yesterday during a workout. I’ve been sober since May 23, 2021 and working out since September.

My dad was fishing for walleye and ended up with this musky instead. At Sturgeon Lake, Ontario.

Happy I chose the discomfort of hard work for positive changes over the discomfort of giving up on myself. Almost 15 months sober, 10 months or so of (mostly) consistently exercising. Nice to have photos to look back on and see the progress. I will never abandon myself again.

Not exactly a direct fitness post, but celebration of overall health and well-being in sobriety! Left is peak of my drinking in 2020, right is today, 381 days sober, healthy, and happy! Now to get back to my weightlifting routine 🏋🏻‍♀️

Coming up to 9 months sober. 42 pounds down and lots of new muscle. Strength training and powerlifting have helped me tremendously. 9 months ago I was in the worst physical shape of my life, and now I’m hoping to hit a 300lbs deadlift this month. Thankful for this journey!

I’m so fortunate to have such a kind, patient, and loving woman by my side. Thankful that she’s in this world, and lucky that she’s in my world too. ❤️

In these turbulent times, remember to smile and get outside if you’re able.

Not sure if this is a mold, but I found this incredibly old bag of pecan pieces in my mom’s cupboard that essentially turned to dirt. They were unopened when I found them but seems some moths had chewed through the bag. Has anyone else seen anything like this?!

Steve was a stray cat and was shuffled through 3 city shelters before I adopted him. He was underweight and weary of everything. It took him almost 3 days to start eating when he got here. Now, he’s a little chubby cuddly boy, and likes to watch TV with us while he warms his butt on the fireplace...
