Some days you get to feel the sun on your face, the wind in your hair and sand in your toes while you watch the sun set over the ocean. I like days like that.

Throwback …. I see all the posts today and I’m humbled with everyone’s continued love and support. I continue to live my dream because of you. This brings me back…. it brings me back in a way that it just fires me up. It motivates me. To be back here. Belt around my waste. I am up for the challenge and I am willing to put in the hard work. I hope you are all fighting for what you want in this life. And remember it’s not “ why me?” ….But more of … “why not me?” Go get it. 👊🏼 REPOST: Four years ago today, Holly Holm halted Ronda Rousey’s reign in one of the biggest upsets in MMA history

Loving being back in the gym. Healed up. Ready to work hard. Just a little drill… hit what you see, when you see it. …and try to keep some power on it while staying mobile on your feet. Rather than hitting in predictive combos. Make it a quick reaction.

Albuquerque!! We love food! And we love @eatfitabq . Healthy meals right to your door 😋 . Everyone who has tried it is hooked and that’s why business has outgrown Nohime’s current kitchen. If anyone knows of a kitchen for lease…. DM Nohime at @eatfitabq or email her at eatfitabq@gmail.com. Also email with any inquiries about how she can deliver a “healthier you”! Have a blessed day!

And here’s another pull up variation. 4 strict pull ups… 6 kipping pull ups …. 6 strict toes to bar. You can always split them up and do one set at a time or do them all in a row without breaking. 👊🏼💪🏼 thank you @teamturningpoint for always mixing it up.

La Junta Colorado, 1975… My father bought this truck. 1975 Ford pickup. I don’t know much about engines but this apparently has the biggest engine they made for this truck. My father had just graduated from college and bought this truck and had gone back home to the farm. Someone stole it one night and my father prayed, “Lord, if my truck gets found, I’ll leave it here with my father (my grandfather), and I’ll go to preacher’s school.” Well the police called that night and said the truck was found and there you have it…. my father went to preacher’s school. It stayed on the farm as a working truck all the years until both of my wonderful grandparents left this earth. It then returned home with my father who continued to use it as a working truck. I always dreamed of having this truck passed to me but never thought there would be a chance because I have two older brothers. However, I think because I just loved it so much it finally came home to me. I want to share one of my favorite memories of this truck and the farm… Growing up we would take a family vacation to the farm and my father would take us out to the fields. He would take us to the cantaloupe field and pick one that was just perfectly ripe… “You can’t force it off the vine, Holly. It should come right off and then you know it’s ready.” He would then take a knife and cut it right there. Giving my brothers and I a slice. Perfectly ripe and just the perfect amount of warmth from the sun. I remember how sweet it was. Impossible to eat it without juice running down our cheeks. The sweetest cantaloupe you ever could taste. That mixed with the smell of the dirt and the Colorado sun on our faces while we ride in the back of the truck will forever be one of my favorite memories. (Don’t worry I have more memories. I’ll tell them as I post more photos. Hope you don’t get tired of pics in the good ol Ford truck.)

Take number 9,543 I finally nailed the #trickshotsforgood shot. Believe it or not… I also laid one on my foot… drove by and kicked it in… I swear I did… but my phone hit the “low battery” warning and stopped filming. It will just have to remain a story at this point. @johnsonville will donate $1 to the @TheVFoundation for Cancer Research to Robin Roberts Thrivership Fund for every Trickshot posted using the hashtag #trickshotsforgood up to $100,000! #ufc I challenge my team and coaches @jacksonwink_mma to do the challenge. @mmacoachwink @gregjacksonmma @izzystylewrestling @baratagb @tussagb @smokin_joe_jwmma and also my teammates that are up for the challenge.

Safety first…. just kidding…. follow your passions and believe in yourself and live life to its fullest… embrace those you love and laugh til your stomach hurts. Take chances in life. Feel a little wild at times … and safety is like a 6 or 7. #tbt January 2020

Quarantine resulted in binge watching Prison Break. Played it cause I thought it was a movie… it’s a series … Now I’m sucked in. Just when I thought it was fairly new…. I learned it’s been 15 years since season 1 came out. I’m so behind on the times but either way, I’m digging it.
