Each day I learn more and more about myself - physically and mentally. I remain committed to a #HealthierMe. 👏🏾 It is not easy. It is not always convenient. Sometimes it is just painful. BUT... I continue to remind myself that - I am WORTH IT. I am ABLE. I CAN DO IT. Each day I realize that some of the limits I placed on myself were for comfort, not capability. 💪🏾 Can you do more? Are you pushing yourself? You deserve to be healthy — the world needs a healthy you!! P.S. I am always ready to receive @wholefoods gift cards 🤣🤣🤣 #LifewithChelsi #LifestyleBlogger #Motivation #HealthyLiving #Exercise #WeightLoss #HealthyEating #MentalHealth
This shirt was so fitting for this photo - I am standing next to TWO POWERHOUSES. I created it to represent strength, love, power, and purpose. @adriennechantel & @melody_short, y’all are #blackgirlmagic. Y’all are goals! Thank you for being an example of what it means to pursue purpose and passion! Your work including @richmondnightmarketva is blessing to SO many!! I love the vibe you’ve created for artists and small business owners. 👚: LifewithChelsi.com #LifewithChelsi #Richmond #RichmondNightMarket #ShockoeBottom #Artists
ALL THAT WILL MATTER. I have to remind myself this often. Why am I doing what I am doing? Why am I posting what I am posting? Why am I saying what I am saying? Does it glorify God? #LifewithChelsi #LifestyleBlogger #TVHost #PastorsWife #PodcastHost #HealthLobbyist #Blogger #Speaker #Mogul
When you see me... ❤️ Yes... My stride is filled with confidence. My words exit my mouth with preparation, research, and consultation with experts. My mind is saturated with scripture and positive affirmations from my tribe. My presence is overflowing with grace, love, self-love, and boldness. I have to decide daily that I will be MY BEST. No, I am not in competition with you — that’s silly. I know my law degree, successful passage of the Florida Bar, decade in politics and policy as a staffer and elected official, desire to impact the daily lives of Virginians, marriage to a Baptist preacher, passion to empower women leaders (especially those who don’t know it yet), childhood in the urban core and living as a blended family, and heart for Jesus are attributes that make me Chelsi. To compare myself to ANYONE else — to make them in their entirety my standard — would be foolish and disrespectful to God. My prayer for all my #sisterfriends is that you become YOUR VERY BEST. You deserve it. You owe it to yourself to be who God created you to be. You are worth living as an original. P.S. Today is special — I made it through my 1st Special Session. As a new lobbyist, it was a very humbling experience — navigating unknown waters solo. #LifewithChelsi #HealthLobbyist #Motivation #SelfLove #LifestyleBlogger #Blog #TVHost #NonprofitLeader
Today, I was reminded of my POWER. My STRENGTH. My GRIT. MySELF. I went for a check-in with my health coach and in 5 weeks I am down 2.3% body fat, 0.5 inch around my waist, and 0.5 lbs. You see, last week I was distracted and discouraged by the scale not reflecting the loss I want to see. BUT little did I know, there were other numbers more important than just that one. I have come to grips that I may not be 0 again like in this photo. But I can promise you that I will keep PUSHING to be MY best! I will keep exercising and doing the classes that leave my body screaming. I will keep eating healthy versus indulging in steak and potatoes or Chick-fil-a everyday. I will keep reminding myself how powerful I am and why my weight loss is important to ME. Wherever you find #inspiration, be sure it is a healthy perspective, realistic goal, and what’s best for you!
