ISO: a tupperware big enough to hold 5 cups of #greens so I don’t have to bring my serving bowl to work 😂 Swipe 👉🏼 for scale. Seriously, slide into my DMs with reccs 📩 - Lettuce forget the dark times LBF [life before #fitlicity] when my salads consisted of 4 things: romaine + cherry tomato + cucumber + Burger King chicken nuggets 🤦🏼‍♀️ I’ll never forget the first time I realized this world had more to offer than “House Salad with a side of Burger King” 🙏🏼 There is an entire grocery store of possibility out there y’all 🛒✨ I was such a “picky” [read: fearful] eater prior to starting my #fitnessjourney. I wrote off entire food groups without even trying them, plus, my taste buds were totally warped from the amount of sugar + grease I was consuming. Alas, here we are! Where throwing stuff into bowls + trying new ingredients is my idea of fun 👏🏼 Brussels, sweet potato, olives, beets, kale, greek yogurt, salmon, the list goes on and on and on 👉🏼 these are all foods I “didn’t like” 😭💔😭💔 Do you have any new found food loves?! Salad deets 👀 baby kale + arugula + kiwi + blackberry + @minimalistbaker almond ricotta + almond slivers + grilled chicken + @traderjoes green goddess dressing

JUST THE HORNS 👊🏼 Grabbin’ this #ManicMonday by the horns like it ain’t no thang 💁🏼‍♀️ I’m armed with my secret weapons ⚔️ – ☝🏼SWEAT: #excercise in the morning, especially before a cray day, makes me feel #productive + #empowered [even if I bail on my back #squat + feel like I’m dying 😏] ✌🏼 NUTRITION: there is nothing, I mean NOTHING, better to stimulate mental clarity + #energy than nutrient dense #meals 🔑 Take the time to set yourself up for success, the power is yours 💯

6 minute #Sunday brekkie ⏱ #Nutrition does not have to be time consuming y’all! This poached #egg + broiled #avocado spread went from fridge to #plate in no time at all 👍🏼🍳🥑🍓🌿💨 ✨Prep (1 min) ➕ simultaneously set your broiler to high and heat a small pot of water on high [switch to low just before boiling] ➕crack one egg into a small container [cup, small mason jar, ramekin, etc!] ➕ season avocado with your fave spices [I used chili powder + smoked paprika + @traderjoes EBTB] ✨Cook (4 min) ➕ pop avocado into oven on sheet pan and broil ➕ carefully pour egg into water and cover ➕ WHILE YOU WAIT: whip up 1/4 cup cottage cheese with your fave berries [greek yogurt works too!] ✨Plate (1 min) ➕ serve on top your fave greens ✨Eat (30 seconds) 🙄

🎶 You make me so happy, it turns back to sad 🎶- Taylor Swift, about this plate, probably 💯 Have you ever had a #meal so good you can hardly put the fork down but every bite makes you die a little inside because you’re one step closer to finishing? 🤷🏼‍♀️ Yup. That was me for the last 15 minutes. I gotta give myself a pat on the 🍑 for the this one 👏🏼 While on the hunt for #paleo bacon at my local natural grocer [more on that later], I spotted these stunning feta + dill #salmon cakes with ultra-Al-approved ingredients and I was instantly inspired ✨ My recent shifts in #nutrition have been challenging me to think of meals in new ways, and I am licking – whoops I mean loving 😜 – the outcome! 👅#BSCF12 What’s cookin’ good lookin’ 👉🏼 seared feta + dill salmon cake served with lemon #tahini kale + shaved brussels and topped with almond slices + 1/2 tiny #avocado + harissa greek yogurt sauce 🤤

O N E + D O N E ☝🏼 Today I challenged myself to take just one photo, and post it no matter the outcome. Well, here she is y’all! I wasn’t *quite* ready, but at least I had some #Beyoncé wind on my side 😂 - I have read many posts lately that express a sort of negative association + insecurity surrounding curated Instagram content, and to those who feel this way I say, I validate you! Peep 👀 my story for my personal reaction to this topic + join the dialogue! 👉🏼👉🏼👉🏼 - I absolutely love to curate beautiful + meaningful content 📷 And I work hard to do it. But more than anything, I hope that I contribute #AUTHENTIC content 💯 - I am a perfectly #imperfect human y’all, and I am very, very proud to say that when I see this photo, I don’t pick it apart 👏🏼 But okay, I sort of wish that one hair wasn’t in my face 😜 I have fallen deeply in love with my evolving self, and although I have my moments, I am more #confident and self assure than ever ✨ I‘m not talking about my physical appearance, I’m talking about trusting my ability to make the best choices for me. Navigating this lifestyle by forging my own path. But this was not always the case! - A while back I asked a few Insta-friends who I really, truly admire if they thought I should take up #CrossFit, and every single one of them said if it where them, for a variety of reasons, they would stick to a traditional #gym. And I let those responses drag my 🍑 into a YMCA for a few months until I wanted to hit snooze more than I wanted to #sweat 🤦🏼‍♀️ So I made up my own mind + took a chance + holy hell, what a chance it was. - I try not to preach often, but the ONE thing I will preach is to DO 👏🏼YOU 👏🏼 BOO 👏🏼 BOO 👏🏼 The minute you focus on yourself, this whole wide world will align for you 🌎 Engage with people who inspire you + challenge you to think differently while offering nothing but support + empowerment. That’s where the magic is. To all of you who offer me this on the daily, thank you and I love you deeply!

I eat a lot of #snacks, might as well look like one too 😜 - Bless up to the booty y’all! 🙌🏼 My legs are 💯 my most valuable ASSet if ya know what I’m sayin’ 🍑 There was this one time in high school that I aspired to have a “thigh gap” because I live in a society where photoshopping women into less than versions of themselves is desirable 🤷🏼‍♀️ I didn’t aspire to be strong, or fit, or healthy - I aspired to have space between my skin 🤔 Alas, the structure of my pelvis + body composition in combination with my #fitness interests will never [like ever 😂] amount to such and I 👏🏼 am 👏🏼 proud 👏🏼 My legs got the #power to #run 👟 + #jump 🤸🏼‍♀️ + #lift 🏋🏼‍♀️ and I wouldn’t have ‘em any other way. When I’m trying to PR my 1RM deadlift I’m certainly not thinking about what my thighs look like. I’m thinking about what they can DO 💪🏼 IMPORTANT NOTE: some women naturally have a gap between their thighs, or develop one as a result of a **healthy** lifestyle and there is NO shame in that! The message is simply this 👉🏼 exercise + fuel your body + practice self care in a way that YOU love and EMBRACE how your body adapts 😘😘😘 Health looks different on everyone y’all!

Don't ever let anybody tell you that leggings aren’t pants 🙅🏼‍♀️ You don't need that kind of negativity in your life 💯 My name is Al + I’m a proud supporter of dry shampoo + #athleisure 👍🏼 - Finally felt like I got my #workout groove back + I’m keeping that momentum goin’ all day long ✨ Surpassed my mini-goal for the morning + made progress on some larger performance #goals to boot! If you want to see someone who’s excited about #gains + skill work, peep 👀 my story 😂

I got 99 problems, and they all dishes 😏 - Not sure what’s heavier, the return of the 35# dumbbell #cleanandjerk post-#CrossfitOpen or today’s lunch box 😂 Got a tough #WOD behind me 💨 and a full day of eatin’ ahead 👀 - Today, I choose to feel #strong 🥊 and I empower you to do the same! 💯

#Monday #Mantra: The weight of not trying is heavier than the barbell will ever be 💯 My alarm goes off ⏰ It’s early ⭐️ It’s raining ⛈ Today’s #WOD does not play to my strengths 🏋🏼‍♀️ This is it 👉🏼 the first #choice of the day... what’ll it be: snooze or sweat? 🤷🏼‍♀️ Spoiler Alert 🚨 I got my 🍑 out of bed and damn if I ain’t glad I did 👏🏼 I hit 30 reps of a #snatch weight I couldn’t even get under once just a few months ago at the end of January 🤩 30 times, not one missed rep 💪🏼 Watch out world 🌎 I‘m evolving. I’m getting better every day. I’m a force to be reckoned with + today I proved it over and over again before 6:30 a.m. 👋🏼
