December is honestly one of the most chaotic months of the year, so in this festive weekend vlog I’m taking you along for the chaos—while still staying on track with my fitness. I started with a super speedy gym session (I only had 25 minutes), and I want this to be your reminder that you don’t need a “perfect” full workout to make progress. Showing up still counts, and when time is tight, you do what you’ve got to do to maintain the habit. After that, it was a full church day: I served on the welcome team for the morning carol service and then went back for the evening one too. In between, my bestie Libby (who I met at church this year) and I went full Christmassy—ice skating (somehow stayed upright), wandering around the festive rides, and just soaking up the season. I also wrapped Libby’s gift: lifting straps, because her strength has come on so much that her grip is the limiting factor now. I also chat about how I’m approaching cardio right now while focusing on gaining weight and building muscle—steps are a non-negotiable, and I’ve added a simple sprint finisher once a week for heart health. Plus, a little faith + mindset reminder: gifts are lovely, but Christmas is ultimately about the best gift—Jesus.
