When becoming a single-mom, I had to put my energy and emotions somewhere. I struggled emotionally for a long time, that is when my sister encouraged me to start running. I actually hated it at first, literally could not keep a good pace, always had side aches, or shin splits. I thought okay, maybe I'm just not a runner lol!

So that is when I started going to our local gym and started my weight lifting journey. I enjoyed the feeling of becoming stronger mentally and physically. I got into the groove of going to the gym daily and even started running again on the treadmill, I found my happy place!

Then Co-Vid hit...

And I HAD to resort to running outside again, except this time. I was able to enjoy it. I removed mental blocks and told my-self this was my only option at the moment for continuing to better my health, mentally and physically. 

However, during this time, I managed to talk my parents into purchasing a Peloton Bike Plus together. It was the perfect option for our family, they loved biking and I was sold with the strength workouts, plus having the convenience of working out at home! 

As of today I am on a 93 week-streak with my Peloton workouts, the trainers have a way of always connecting with me during the workouts, whether it is reminding me how lucky I am that I woke up today, or that I WILL surpass this mountain I'm on, or reminding me that I am never alone in this journey!

My fitness journey has changed throughout the years, but I am dedicated to making my health a priority so that I can be the best mom and teacher throughout the year!

I've linked a couple of my favorite fit-wear and companies that have also helped my fitness journey!
