I stopped talking about going for it and actually went for it. I made it personal. Don’t talk yourself out of moves… big moves. You’ll always wonder what could have happened had you just allowed yourself to go all in. That fear will allow that one important cheerleader, yourself, to cripple your own growth. I did so and made connections with the most amazing people. People I would have never known hadn’t I put myself out there. Opportunities that would have never happened had I not gone for it. I’m on that continued journey for self improvement and this is a major step. Outfit details: - Blazer and bralette from @shopwestoffiftyfive - leggings @spanx 📸 by @measurablymoremedia

Our vow renewal in Kawela Bay, Hawaii. A celebration of how far we’ve come together. A reminder to cherish those who truly care for you and to nurture those relationships the most. 11 years celebrated in this moment and shared with our sweet boy.

Fitness Plateau & Me are besties lately… let’s RESET Update: I am fully aware I’ve been throwing off my cortisol levels with stress with selling our house and losing the one we were under contract on. I’m also coming off of some hormone medications and leveling back out, which has had me retaining water, dealing with hormonal weight gain, and my face breaking out, fun 😑. SO, I’m in a RESET stage and these are the newest things I’m implementing and it is working for me so far. (1 week in) ➡️ Intermittent fasting - 16 hours - no eating after 7 pm and lunch at 11 ➡️ Off medications ➡️ Gut health reset on point with @thehappymammoth ➡️ No more Coffee in the morning 😳 made the switch to @ryzesuperfoods and haven’t looked back Outfit: @ptulaactive + Support code: DARA 🥰 - Bare Pro Short in light grey - Simply Bare Bra in light grey And thanks to @celevatedrink for fueling my killer quad day! So, have you ever plateaued and what have you done to help you push through? I need all of the ideas! #nutrition #reset #plateau #fitnessmotivation #fitness #diet

Wanna feel good?? 🌞👇🏼 Captain obvious here! 🏴‍☠️ Not only does sunshine uplift your mood, but so does the physical activity! Bring in the serotonin!! We already know that, BUT, I live in the south, so a BRIEF spring and fall are the only times we can bear physical activity outside! So, I’m here to remind you to take advantage of it, drop everything, and soak up the vitamin D before it’s scorching outside. Oh, and Happy Monday, y’all! Cardio/rest day workout details - I just walked at a steady pace to easily help me hit my 10,000 steps daily goal. That’s it! Ended my walked with a yummy salmon protein salad 🔥 P’Tula Outfit details: - Suede Hat in khaki - Bare Pro Shorts 4” in black - Brami in white - Double Stripe Crew Socks Make sure to use my support & discount Code: DARA 🫶🏼😘 #grwm #walk #beachwalk #ptula #ptulaactive #ptulafamily #restday #steps #gettingmystepsin #letsgowalking #letsgetoutside #getoutside #sunshine #fitness

Art takes time. Monet grew his flowers before painting them. - @atticuspoetry Lately, my art has taken on a physical form, transitioning from canvas to computer and then to my body. While the medium has changed, the lesson remains the same: patience and dedication are required to complete a masterpiece, and each stage of the process must be appreciated. I’ve come to realize that each time I revisit a piece, I can push it further, yet I still love its current state. Moving intentionally from one stage to another is key! All in all, I’m proud of where I am, and you should be too! @theikonicimagery Seamless is now live! ✨ Outfit details below! - Seamless leggings in driftwood ( wearing an xs) - Tidal seamless sports bra in Sable (wearing a med) Support and discount code:DARA 🫶🏼 #ptula #ptulaactive #bodypositive #bodypositivity

Another milestone in our lives together; Happy Anniversary to my college sweetheart🥂 I’m so very proud to be your wife, a role I’ve had now for 13 years. It’s been 19 years since I snagged you in Starkville, and that’s just when our story began. Time is seriously flying. But just know, I cannot fathom a life that isn’t us. Us having our morning coffee chats, us traveling and exploring together, us pushing each other to be the best versions of ourselves. You know me more than anyone on this entire planet and accept me for who I am, never once trying to change me and always having my back. I love you, I love us, I love our journey and I love our story 👩🏽‍❤️‍💋‍👨🏼 #himsmyhoney #anniversary #weddinganniversary #13years

It really is the little things when it comes to relationships…. 20 years together, 13 years married and 1 kid later and sometimes romance shows up as spontaneous kiss 💋 #marriage #romance #stayspicy #sweetmoments #keepdating #dateyourspouse #littlethings #itsthelittlethings #husbandandwife

It’s not just the physical signs of progress… it’s the self esteem and self confidence that comes with the lifestyle. Of course we love the gains, of course we love how we feel and look but man, it’s the impact on your mental health that’s the true win 💥 Not that I’m rocking some massive peach but boy am I better than I was last year! I went through as much as a bulk as i could mentally handle and now I’m ready to trim up for boat season. Workout details 👇🏼 - warm up - hip trust - hip thrust to glute bridge pulses (last set) 🔥 - single leg assisted Bulgarians - smith machine rdl - cable kick back - baby makers (glute abductor) leaning forward heavy - baby makers (glute abductor) leaning back lighter weight @leahg125 alrighty sis, I started, your turn! #glute #gluteworkout #bootybuilding #workout #fitness

This needed a forever spot on our page in honor of this angels bday & the Baddie Builder days that we miss so much. 🫶🏼 This Hawaiian beauty, multitalented mom, Auntie Day to my daughter, my swolemate, turned 38 yesterday, can you say aging like fine wine, like Lawt! 🥵. If you haven’t already, wish our girl a happy birthday, she deserves all the love This makes us miss our Baddies business so much, but life had some other things in store for us. Maybe one day we’ll circle back, but until then we will live through the memories ✨ #birthday #bffs #happybirthday #baddie
