Nothing pretty about any of this, however, I expect to see a lot of improvement in my next post. Never thought I'd see the day where DEAD LIFTS and I become best friends. #training #ironman #foundations #core #corestrength #ass #asspower #strong #strongbody #backtobasics #walkbeforeyoucanrun #standbeforeyoucanwalk #yyj #motivation (at Rehab and Performance) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvXYQXoB9p5BhGQTgXmh6fOCvK1kVqEVPZkziw0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=qniwexc2mbb1

When the best lady I know takes me out for dinner! Renee Audy. One of the most magestic, creative, intelligent, inspiring and beautiful women I know. How dull life would be without that smile that stretches from ocean to ocean, greeting me with an undying zest for life and the world, every morning. No, money cant buy your happiness. But it sure as heck can buy you the best place on Earth to live with the best person you know ;). Grateful for you in every way babe. In how you hold space for me when I need it, and how you discover new spaces with me on the regular. Keep going rockstar.

Food Happiness. It is amazing how well my body responds to red meat as well healthy fats. Listening to what my body requires while I train as much as I am has been a journey in and of itself. Practicing this in many areas of my life- listening. #food #health #healthychoices #letfoodbethymedicine #listen #awareness #fuel #training #ironman #goals https://www.instagram.com/p/BvPHu0CBS2iRkhJBXGJKcVPspXwuW_mvgq1i5A0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=778k6ka7j2im

I've replaced "Build-a-Bear" with "Build-a-Butt"! None of this looks pretty, but all of it is necessary. Working on my foundations so that I can finally have a functioning ass. Thanks to my "Ass Mechanic", my dream of having a powerful behind is coming true. Baby steps.

Gatito :) Found this precious little creature at an Olympic pool in Guate. Much love for the random dogs and cats EVERYWHERE in places like Guatemala. Also grateful to have spent time in my life volunteering to help these precious beings in Central America. It is incredible to travel to have a good time for yourself and with friends, old and new. If you can tap in to the value of giving back to the places you visit for your own pleasure, an entirely new meaning will dawn in to your existence. I know my future has more of this in store for me. The value itself is priceless. #travel #volunteer #help #giveback #guatemala #centralamerica #cats #dogs #strayanimals #karma #release #universe #trust #motivation #dedication (at Club Finca Colombia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuC0YhMh01r5jHcf3Dvi3W1Rgmk1F6aM3WPeZk0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1c1i0f6y5ck8r

Traveling is a terrific gift to be able to do. Many on this planet will never leave their own village let alone their own country in their lifetime. The perspective of travel has the power to open our hearts, minds and spirits in ways that are near impossible to achieve without living and breathing the experience of destination adventure, ourselves. Where ever your heart is beating in the direction to go, follow it. Respond to the Awareness that calls you and allow yourself to open up to the possibilities of another world. So many great things are learned through travel. Things learned about ourselves, about others and about the world that we live on. We are apart of the world. I will never stop traveling to constantly remind myself that there is so much more out there other than me. If you can, I implore you to do the same. #travel #travel4life #jetsetter #adventure #awareness #perspective #outbound #inbound #allaround #concierge #antigua #guatemala #homeawayfromhome #traveltips (at Lavaderos De Ropa, Antigua Guatemala.) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuBsKgwh8W7ojVtK7sjnQVtJjl-CenGk0JDHEY0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=5l882j3rst6r

And today's Inglefield Introduction... dead bugs with exercise ball! The point of this is keep my lower back flush to the ground in order to engage power in my core versus arching my back to make the exercise easier. Already, my lower back pain is about 80% less than it was when I first started seeing @rehabandperform by incorporating this simple move in the morning when I wake up, before I train, after I train and before I go to sleep. Thank-you so much to the badass professionals there, you guys rock!! #fitness #deadbugs #rehab #train #traineveryday #ironman #beast #beastmode #swim #bike #run #dontdrown #dontcrash #dontwalk #gofundme #motivation #dedication #nutrition #badass (at Panorama Recreation) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt_ibudB7lXt3bBnWdfcCfj-nAOxvbKn7weZk00/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=gpgdk5tl1b6x

Let food be thy medicine, strength and.... badass-ness! Nutrition= Badass according to Urban Dictionary (3rd definition) and I really couldn't agree more. I am goong2to take it upon myself to popularize the new saying, "Dude, that is SO nutrition" when something totally next-level happens. Kids will be sayin' it, just watch. #nutrition #health #healthyfood #healthychoices #longevity #bright #inside #outside #reflection #progression #egg #avocado #orangepepper #radish #lemon #pepper #thatsall #badass (at Sidney, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt-XdiJhdNklOVdUInEYdkKCaU-8Jetyf4KiEE0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=sxarx0qo2udl

Nutrition. It is a massive part of performance. It is also a gigantic part of being "Badass". Don't believe me? Check out the 3rd definition of "nutrition" on Urban Dictionary. They even use the example of: "Man, that's nutrition", to showcase their meaning of the word.

This can be taken as a sarcastic load of BS, or, it can be lived literally. Incorporating proper nutrition in to your life IS badass. Why? Because giving your body the proper fuel to operate makes you FEEL like a badass, THINK like a badass, and PERFORM like a badass. So, nutrition. It is definitely bad ass.

I made this meal for myself after a 3km swim this morning at Panorama Recreation Centre. In this bowl of awesome I have fresh avocado, radish, orange pepper, lightly grilled onion, a sunny-side-up egg, lemon, pepper and a garnish of parsley. Simple and badass.

The colours of my meal reflect how bright I am, how bright I want to be by the end of the day, and how bright my future looks.

Pay attention to what is happening around you on a regular basis, if not, all of the time. If something doesn't go well or doesn't feel right, pay attention to the "why". Let go of what you can't control in those situations, and action what you can. Be accountable for that which you do have the ability to change, and relaxed about what you can't. Keeping this in mind, being mindful, will keep the integrity of honest thoughts and actions around you. Be brave enough to always be honest and be honest enough to always have strength.
