Long time no see, Friends! . Here’s a reminder that you can love your body and still want to change it. There are things I love about this physique but I’m still excited about this new leg of my fitness journey as I once again focus on health and sustainability rather than prepping for a competition. It’s been great for my mental health. . If you’d like to hear about where I’ve been and why I took a break from social media, check out the “Welcome Back” Get Happy Be Fit episode (link in story) . I love you all, it’s good to be back! . #weightlossjourney #thicc #healthyweightloss #fitness #bodypositivefitness #bodypositive #gethappybefit #nataliereneekirk
Happy Tuesday Friends! . Owning my thicker self like… . Here’s a reminder to love your body at every shape and size because you and your body deserve it. 💖 . Always remember… . Your worth has nothing to do with your weight. Love you and respect yourself.

Happy Tuesday Friends! . What is something that feel daunting or scary so you avoid doing it? . A lot of people get super anxious at the prospect of working out or going to the gym which I TOTALLY get. I don’t like crowded gyms either, which is why I’m smiling so hard in my garage gym selfie 😆. . It doesn’t have to be huge to feel difficult and scary. There have been times in my life that something as simple as getting out of bed felt so daunting that it debilitated me. . Yesterday’s episode of Get Happy Be Fit talked about pushing past feeling uncomfortable and doing things that feel hard. In my life, I have definitely found that the more I push through and do things that scare me and feel hard, the easier it is to do it the next time. Some of the absolute best memories in my life would not have happened had I chosen to stay comfortable and do what felt easiest at the time. . Do something that feels uncomfortable today, because everything you want to be is on the other side of fear. . Always remember… . Your worth has nothing to do with your weight. Love and respect yourself. Enjoy life and be happy.💖 . Get Happy Be Fit is available on all major podcast platforms or you can check my story for a link to download on ITunes. Please leave a text review on iTunes so others can find the show! .

My first picture with Pupcake and my last. . Saturday was one of the hardest days of my life. I hoped and thought we would have more time, but we had to let our sweet Pupcake go. When her heart stopped, mine shattered. She was my best friend, my shadow, my little mini me. Everywhere I went, she followed. Todd said it was like there was an invisible leash attached to us. She loved me when I felt unlovable and wanted to be with me when no one else did. There is a hole in my heart and an empty space beside me without her. It’s a relief that her suffering is over and I’m honored to have been there in her last moments, holding her and telling her I love her. I will love her forever. . #iwillalwaysloveyou #rainbowbridge #mybestfuriend #ilovemydachshund
Happy Monday Friends! . No Get Happy Be Fit episode this week because I was busy celebrating my 39th birthday. . This year I’m starting a whole new fitness journey. The goals I want to reach before my 40th birthday are… . Grow my glutes (genetically I hold a lot of fat there but I want the booty to be just as popping when I’m leaner) . Get back to my ideal weight in a healthy, sustainable way for ME, not judges, 🏆 or 🏅. . My plan is to document the journey on YouTube in a series called “Fit Before 40” so people can see the ups and downs and know that getting fit is possible at every age. . Here we go y’all! . And don’t worry, I won’t ACTUALLY kill you, but you’ll be dead to me. . And always remember… . Your worth has nothing to do with your weight. Love and respect yourself.

When I’m having a rough mental health day working out usually helps. Sometimes it doesn’t. If you have days like this, know that your best is enough. Soak up love and comfort as much as you can.

Happy Wednesday Friends! . OMG I’m posting two days in a row! 😆 . I’m slowly getting back into the groove of posting. Taking a break and dialing back has been crucial to my mental health lately. It’s rough to see things you worked so hard for diminish or even start to crumble, but it also lays the foundation for something new. The new and the unknown can be really scary but also really exciting. I’m embracing this transitional period in my life and riding the ups and downs knowing that there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. . I’m still in my “bulking” phase. I’ve had some set backs (strained hip flexor, hip impingement etc) but I’m refraining from putting undue pressure on myself. It has been really nice not having the pressure of a competition deadline looming over me. Cut begins in 6 weeks! 🙌🏻 . Peep my House Atreides shirt that @toddjawesome got me for Christmas 🥰. Do you love the new Dune as much as I do??? . Always remember… . Your worth has nothing to do with your weight. Love and respect yourself.

Having professional, gym style, quality equipment is a must for me and my clients. If there’s two things y’all probably know about me it’s that I always prefer working out at home over going to a busy gym (especially now) and I like fun, attractive looking products that add to the personality of my home gym (I mean, have you seen all of my twinkle lights? 😆 ✨) . This kettle bell is just a drop in the bucket of what they have to offer! . If you’re looking for some attractive, gym quality equipment use the link in my bio to get 15% off of your order! .
