Wanted you to see this first before I post it over on social media (and because my posts end up getting buried over there, too). Just some encouragement to keep your journey going. Do things YOUR WAY- however it resonates with you and keeps you going. Yes, it’s hard work but it doesn’t have to make your miserable.

I don’t believe in ‘the grind’. Small steps, consistent effort, forgiving the missteps, periodic self-evaluation and making adaptions and tweaks along the way is a good mindset to have. Be flexible in your journey and be kind to yourself. ❤️

Example Of How I Eat High Protein
It’s not fancy or aesthetic but gets the job done for staying full, energy and anti-menopause-belly support.
Turkey burger, buttery eggs and a small block of manchego (sheep’s milk) cheese.
I don’t eat my first meal until around 12-2pm everyday.

Look what we accomplished in a quick 20 minutes! Way to go, girls! 😍#liveworkout

Ever power walk the mall before the stores open? It’s nice and quiet. Barely any people. No shopping. Just brisk walking! 🏃🏽‍♀️

Loving all the strength training workouts! Keep those coming. Those are my go-to in the app.

My favorite protein powder is not being made anymore. Searching for a new vanilla flavor that has lower carbs, good taste, etc. What is everyone using.

This is the uncensored pic of my 3x C-section scar. Happy I’m free to post it here in the app, because I can’t do that on social media (someone had reported me and the pic got flagged). 

Daily massage of your C-section scar improves blood flow, helping to break down adhesions & excess collagen, soften tight tissue, and reduce those painful stabbing sensations from scar tissue. This makes the scar smaller, flatter, and more flexible over time.

Using castor oil can further speed up the process by penetrating deep into the skin to break down scarring faster and promote healing. 

It doesn’t matter how old the scar is, start your daily massage! Here’s the castor oil I use: https://urlgeni.us/amzn/castor

Hi Everyone. We’ve officially completed our series of special challenge workouts! These six videos are now bundled into a special collection called Target Zones Challenge. Enjoy! https://thejosieapp.com/programs/collection-target-zones-challenge

I absolutely love this app!! I especially love that these are mostly shorter workouts that I can do throughout the day. With 4 young kids, doing a 1 hour non stop workout is just not an option. I am very athletic and the ankle weight leg workouts still make my legs shake afterwards haha! Even if they are short, they are very intense and effective. I just did one workout at the playground while my kids were playing. Even if I look silly on my mat, I do what I have to do to stay fit and healthy for myself, my kids and my husband.

Hi Josie,

I have a bulging disc and aggravated my back. The Chiro said I aggravated my sacrum. I am feeling somewhat better. But want to restart some strength training. Do you have any recommendations for restarting and also relieving a bulging disc? Thank you and have a blessed day.
