FOCUS Keepin’ It Rural was my first race back after my MS diagnosis. That first year I had to hike the 5k. The last two years I’ve been able to run the 10k. This is a very technical course and the mental focus needed is just as exhausting as the physical effort. My legs felt like I was carrying cement blocks (thanks MS!) yet I kept moving forward and gratefully crossed another finish line. #MelindaStrong #msathlete #mswarrior #msfighter #msrunner #msawareness #multiplesclerosis #msruntheus #invisibleillness #livingwithms #strongerthanms #movementismedicine #msismysuperpower #strongertogether #focus #heavylegs #nxptstrong #resislent #alwaysearnednevergiven #dohardthings #runner #ultrarunner #climbmountains #chasingfinishlines #finishstrong #finishfast #elfinforest #keepinitrural
Always Earned. Never Given. I was a bit unsure how this morning would go. Earlier in the week I had a few body mechanic failures because of MS. Last night I even told my husband that the hard choice to make would mean not racing. Thankfully when I woke up this morning I was feeling well and decided to toe the line. It was a great morning and I’m thankful for my resiliency. #MelindaStrong #msathlete #mswarrior #msfighter #msrunner #msawareness #multiplesclerosisfitness #invisibleillness #livingwithms #strongerthanms #msismysuperpower #strongertogether #nxptmade #nxptstrong #resislent #alwaysearnednevergiven #dohardthings #runner #ultrarunner #climbmountains #chasingfinishlines #ersevents
Medal Monday!! This past Saturday/Sunday I participated in @ersevents 24/12 hour endurance run. I signed up for the 12 hour run. I ran from 7 p.m Saturday until 7 a.m. Sunday in a 1.1 mile loop. Seriously, think adult jog-a-thon 🤣 I finished 31 laps for 33 miles. These types of events are suppose to be hard. They challenge and change you. There is something unique about collective suffering. It’s an unspoken bond between you and the people your with. “No” would have been the easy way but I like saying “yes” to hard things and I would have missed out on this incredible experience that leaves me a changed person yet again. And a reminder to never give up! And I got to see my friend and coach @nxptmade complete 100 miles in 24 hours!! Mind blown by all my other amazing friends who also competed in this event. #MelindaStrong #msathlete #mswarrior #msfighter #msrunner #msawareness #invisibleillness #livingwithms #strongerthanms #strongertogether #nxptmade #nxptstrong #resislent #displineovermotivation #paincave #dohardthings #runner #ultrarunner #climbmountains #chasingfinishlines #ersevents
Everyday I remind myself MS doesn’t stand a chance fighting me. Some days it may get the advantage but it will never keep me down. I always get up and push my limits for myself but for others too. We all have our own battles to fight. If you need someone in your corner, let’s fight together 🧡🧡 #MelindaStrong #msfighter #msathlete #mswarrior #multiplesclerosis #fightingfatigue #keepgettingup #strongertogether #dohardthings #hyrox #nxpt #nxptstrong
Such a great time cheering on our #nxpt team this past Saturday at Oceanside’s Iornman. I love watching our athletes preform and seeing the fruits of all their hard work come to fruition! We had some amazing finishing times and each and everyone one of them sprinted across the finish line after a 70 mile race!

JUST SHOW UP Easy to say but it can be difficult to do. Sometimes getting out the door is just daunting. Yes, showing up for yourself is important BUT it’s also important for those around you and you may not even know it!! Today I’m thankful for reminder and the community around me. *** #MelindaStrong #msstrong #mswarrior #msawareness #msfighter #msathlete #strongerthanms #multiplesclerosis #strongertogether #nxptstrong #justshowup #findyourcommunity #thankful #lookforthebeauty

NXPT Games were absolutely outstanding!!! 🤩 For weeks I had the pleasure of getting to see the behind the scenes of Dan developing the Games. He worked around the clock with most night only getting 3-4 hours of sleep a night. 🥱⏱ From literally cutting and building obstacles walls to creating the schematics and outlines for the race. We even had a fun family night of filling over a 130+ bags for each bib number while watching Avengers! 📽🎬🍿 Yet even with everything I was able to witness, stepping out into the field on Saturday morning, I was completely blown away. 🙀🤯 There are so many moving parts that are working to make it all come together for the ULTIMTE experience for our members. Thank you to all the sponsor including @epic_series , @greyfitusa and @allanuy_realtor We have the best staff and employees! Thank you to each and everyone of them for working so hard and attending to the little details that make our events the BEST! And huge thank you to all of our members and volunteers that helped with set up, judge zones, and stay until the very end to tear down. 🚚🏋🏻♀️ It’s so humbling and it is such an honor to watch hundreds of people in the NXPT community working all for one vision! #Teamworkmakesthedreamwork!!! #nxpt #nxptfit #mxptmade #nxptgames #nxptstrong #nxptfitness
I’ve been getting a lot of questions regarding my new venture! What is the name ? 🤷🏻♀️ What kind of products you are using ? 🤷🏻♀️ What makes them different? 🤷🏻♀️ The company name is QScience. It’s a health and wellness company! Are you surprised? 😘 You shouldn’t be! If you know me and my family then you know just how passionate we are about health. #mindbodysoul This isn’t just any health and wellness company! We have an entire line of #fullspectrumhemp: massage creams, roll-ons, tinctures, and drinks. This is not just CBD it’s the whole plant! 🙌🏽 If your benefited from CBD just imagine what a plethora of Cannabinoids can do for you!!! 🌱🌈🦄 I’ll have this display up next weekend for the NXPT Games for sampling and more information!!! #nxptmade #nxptfit #nxptstrong #nxpt #nxptfitness #cbd #wellness

#medalmonday This past weekend #TEAMNXPT flew to Montana to take the podium! 🥉 While I wish I could have flown out to cheer them on, someone had to hold down the fort while they competed! 🏡🧹🧺 Shout out to all the trainers running the show this weekend! It’s always such a joy and honor to be in our team’s corner! OCRs are grueling ! These men were made for competiting in all arenas and its great to have them back in the game! #nxpt #nxptmade #nxptstrong #nxptfit #nxptfitness
Did I really just do that?!? Sometimes I get into the gym with my trainer aka husband and before I even have a chance to question, “Is this something I can do?” I’m already in the thick of it. By then there is no turning back, no quitting, no making the bar lighter, and no slowing down. ⌛️ There is just finish- Sprinting to the finish line. 🏃🏻♀️ Before you know it’s over and you ask yourself, “Wow did I really just do that?” If I can pick up a 175lb bar repeatedly after doing box jumps and kettle bell swings what else can I accomplish today when I remove self doubt ?!? Each work is more than just physical growth it’s about how I can apply this small victory to other arenas of my life to be great and strong tomorrow. #fitnessmotivation #love #motivation #couplegoals #nxpt #nxptfit #nxptmade #nxptstrong #noexcuses #noselfdoubt #letsgo #fitnessjourney
Today’s workout was grueling It was such a mental challenge. I pushed a 315lbs sled 5 times! With each push-pull I thought of specific people that have shared a struggle they are going through. I thought of them and how they wish the struggle would be over. I prayed for them while I choose this struggle. I do spiritual warfare while I workout. Today’s workout summary: Toes to bar w/run 20/15/10/5 Box jumps 10/15/20/25/30 Sled push-pull 1, x2, x3, x4, x5 90lbs-315lbs Back squats 12/10/8/4/2 #nxpt #nxptfit #nxptmade #nxptstrong #nxptfitness #prayingthroughtheworkout

@nxptfit Workout ✅ 1 mile run ✅ (12 sprints on my block) Kids are still asleep I swapped out my inside Reeboks for my outside Reebok. This Saturday we are hosting The #NXPTGAMES I am so pumped and excited to not only help volunteer but to also run the OPEN! The best part of these games is that tbere is a heat for everyone at ALL fitness levels. I train 3-4 days a week with NXPT and these #GAME are going to give me a FUN 🤩 opportunity to #TEST my fitness level. While I will be running along side my fellow athletes the only person I am really competing against is myself. It will be interesting to see how my performance compares to some of my friends. Because I don’t get to run, bike, or row as much as I would like- this week I am making sure to put in the meters (not miles) 😂 just by doing laps up and down my street after my #NXPTLIVE workouts. I had to run to the end of the block and back 12 times to make it a mile. I drove my Neighbor’s dogs crazy running by so many times. #nxpt #nxptfit #nxptmade #nxptstrong #nxptfitness #crossfit #functionalfitness
#CIRCULATE before my workout!!! I notice such a difference in my my agility when I drink one before my @nxptfit workouts! Sometimes the hardest part of my workout is moving my own body weight. Especially when it’s 35 burpees in a row or switch lunges. Circulate makes me feel like I am still in my 20’s. Well late 20’s, you know like 28+ 😄 #nxptfit #nxptmade #nxptfit #nxptstrong #thrive #level #thrivelevel #preworkout
It may not be perfect, it may not be pretty. But I got from point A to point B..... All 2️⃣5️⃣5️⃣lbs of it. #newPR #feelingproud #deadliftpr #noexcusesjustresults #nxptstrong #nxptmade #whatsnext
#wcw Thank you ladies that crushed it on the workout this morning. You moved fast and you lifted heavy! It motives me to push myself harder! @nxpt snuck 150 burpees over course of a 45 minute workout! And that wasn’t even the hard part. I over slept this morning waking up 10 till we go live! It was rough jumping right into the workout but I was killing it at the end! #noexcuses Sticking to my commitment to workout regardless of how I feel! #nxpt #nxptmade #nxptstrong #nxtpfitness

🧡🧡 Hard Work Pays Off 🧡🧡 Last December I crawled through a Spartan Super (9 miles) and thought afterwards it would be my last race. But my joy for OCR and running is stronger than my diagnosis of multiple sclerosis! *** Today was my payoff for all the hard work I’ve put in and even more motivation to keep going. I have an amazing adventure to train for in 2021! If you want to know more, ask me about it. #MelindaStrong #msathlete #msfighter #strongerthanms #msawareness #MSwarrior #ThisIsMS #msbadass #strongerthanms #strongertogether #hardworkpaysoffs #discplineequalsfreedom #keephammering #platinumOCR #EvolveOutsidetheGym #nxpt #nxptstrong #msruntheus #ultrarunning
We are EXCITED to announce that NXPT is launching its Cycling program again! This time around, things are a little different; We will be holding classes outdoors for the rest of 2020 and using the classes to fund raise for the launch of our SPIN STUDIO opening Jan 4 2021!! We are taking over the 2,000sqft Suite Next door to NXPT La Mesa, and turning into the SPINX Studio! Once open in 2021, We will hold over 30 Cycling classes per week ranging from Rhythm Cycle sessions, power rides, Themed rides, and more! We are kicking things off THIS SUNDAY with 4 classes! Trainer Hannibal, Denise, Natalia, and Delia will each run a 45 minute HIGH ENERGY class to burn off the Thanksgiving calories and lay the foundation for our new program! From there we will add classes in weekly little by little! #nxpt #nxptfit #nxptmade #nxptfitness #nxptstrong
We are adding more and more to our OUTDOOR schedule to ensure your safety and provide resources for those of you that feel more confident when 100% outside. Please spread the word about our workouts at the DANA Mission Bay! We now have 5 YOGA CLASSES, and 2 WORKOUTS each week at the Dana! And we only plan to expand more and more! #nxpt #nxptmade #nxptfit #nxptstrong #noexcuses
Extremely, for me, without it, my mental health, physical health, Immune System and Overall Productivity is not great. It is crucial for joint and bone health as well. During this time more than ever, we need to get daily exercise. I beleive in this so much and in the gym wehre I train - NXPT Fitness. Here's the deal. Come down to NXPT Fitness in Kearny Mesa, tell them you are there to workout on "Dr. Boelks' Tab" - you get 10 days of workouts for free, no catch, no sales pitch, no obligation, just great workouts with great people. You can decide to continue with very affordable membership rates or you can just call it a day. I get nothing out of this and there is nothing in it fo rme, just want to support my gym and friend Dan Hark & all the great staff at the gym. They have been great to me and have created a great gym and atmosphere to train in and be bale to bring my son, wife and daughter into the gym as well.

Don't miss out! #nxpt #nxptmade #nxptfitness #nxptfit #nxptocr #nxptstrong #freeworkouts #kearnymesa
Wow so I did some work today! Ran up hospital hill Skied 100 calories A pyramid of 10-1 Box jump overs and leg extensions (each leg) 5 rounds of dead lifts, squat cleans, bent rows and pull-ups. With 45lbs push plate to break it up. It was challenging and fun! It’s good to embrace adversity! Adversity makes me rely on God’s strength. Every obstacles is an opportunity for God to shine His GLORY! When life presents an obstacle in you life, ask the Lord how you can bring Him glory as you face adversity head on. #nxpt #nxptfit #nxptmade #nxptstrong
Never Miss Mondays!!!! I had missed last few weeks at NXPT, great to be back in there today. Some ring work and single leg lunges -great functional work today. Gym is open, clean and great workouts. #nxpt #nxptmade #nxptfit #nxptfitness #nxptstrong #nxptmade💪
I have to say Virtual Workouts are equally hard as in person. If you can’t make it to the gym in person for any reason go on youtube subscribe to NXPTFit and lock on a trainer or member and compete with yourself. You may even hear your name thrown out there to give you that extra push. Thanks Hannibal for the push today! #frcchallenge #nxptmade💪 #nxptstrong. A little salmon to finish the day off it was awesome.
Highlight Reel vs Real Life *** Always pushing myself to be stronger both physically and mentally. Today was no different but what you can’t see in this short clip is the struggle. The struggle was REAL today. My end goal is to always complete the workout to the best of my abilities. Days like today remind me of my “why” and to keep going. Even on days that I struggle, I am getting stronger and giving my body the best fighting chance at staying active. 🧡🧡🧡 *** #MelindaStrong #msathlete #msfighter #strongerthanms #msawareness #MSwarrior #ThisIsMS #msbadass #strongerthanms #strongertogether #climbmoutains #chronicbadass #nxpt #nxptstrong #effort #nothingsholdingmeback #disciplineequalsfreedom #notalone
Even on the hard days I still show up. Today is a hard day but despite that I still put one foot in front of other and give my best effort. The fatigue is real, the low energy is discouraging. My whole body feels heavy and slow. But I fight back and dig deep because I’ve been a fighter my whole life and I’m not giving up on my goals. *** #MelindaStrong #msathlete #msfighter #strongerthanms #msawareness #MSwarrior #ThisIsMS #MSbadass #lifewithms #mssucks #msdetermination #strongerthanms #strongertogether #noexcuses #nxptstrong

Ready or Not *** I could of said “no” when I walked in the gym because I wasn’t ready or I didn’t believe I could do it. *** Yesterday I participated in some Cross Fit games at my gym. I signed up to deadlift to see what my max rep. would be but when I got there I was thrown into the 7 min. 7ft wall ball AMRAP. If you broke form, dropped the ball, or it didn’t hit the wall, you had to climb a rope. I had to climb the rope a number of times. BUT I did it! *** This was the first time I’ve ever participated in any event like this. It was hard! Here’s to more stuff outside my comfort zone. *** #MelindaStrong #msathlete #msfighter #strongerthanms #msawareness #thisisms #invisibleillness #dohardthings #climbmoutains #nxpt #nxptstrong #nxptmade #crossfit #amrap #getuncomfortable #believeinyourself

So thankful for my mid-week workout. Today was busy with work and I needed this workout before hand! But honestly, I love the challenge and drive I feel while at NXPT, even if it’s just 1% improvement from the last workout. Even on the days I feel like crap, I’m always glad I set the intention and made the commitment to show up. *** #MelindaStrong #msathlete #msfighter #strongerthanms #msawareness #thisisms #invisibleillness #dohardthings #climbmoutains #nxpt #nxptstrong #strongertogether #beintentional #showup #growthmindset

Climb Mountains 🏔 That was the theme I received at the beginning of 2020. One of my symptoms of MS has been in my legs. They’ve felt unsteady, heavy, weak and challenged my balance. So getting up a physical mountain has been difficult. But this morning as we hiked, my legs felt strong and sturdy!! Staying disciplined with my exercise is paying off. Here’s to more mountain climbing. Sequoia and I have completed 3 of the 5 peaks. 2 more left, we got this! 🧡🧡 *** *** #MelindaStrong #msathlete #msfighter #msbadass #strongerthanms #msawareness #multiplesclerosisawareness #thisisms #spreadingorange #dohardthings #climbmountains #keepgoing #discipline #keephammering #nothingsholdingmeback #nxptstrong #nxptmade #strongertogether #fivepeakchallenge

Great start to the weekend. Beach run/walk with Tanith for 4 miles. August is the start of the NXPT Games at our gym. Such a fun way to keep you moving and motivated.

Saturday Morning Fun w/ my Platinum Peeps *** Obstacle course racing has become a metaphor for my life. Learning to complete obstacles has helped my get through the obstacles life throws at you. I might not be successful in every attempt but I will keep trying and take even the smallest victory as a win! 🧡🧡🧡 *** As I was doing my laps in between obstacles I had thoughts of doubt, thoughts of I’m not strong enough to be here, and I fought back tears. After a few moments of a pitty party, I fought back harder against the negative self talk and reminded myself I showed up! I am strong enough and I can and will complete these obstacles no matter what. 🧡🧡🧡 Thank you @calrunnr for having us over to your house afterwards. *** #MelindaStrong #msathlete #msfighter #strongerthanms #msawareness #thisisms #dohardthings #climbmoutains #platinumOCR #EvolveOutsidetheGym #nxpt #nxptstrong #strongertogether #nothingsholdingmeback #growthmindset #adaptandovercome #ocrtraining #thewolfsden
Yesterday I was inspired by a 73 old’s goal of completing a pull-up. In 2018 I had the same goal. With the coaching of my dear friend @platinumpersonaltraining I reached that goal!! *** *** Flash forward to today ... After many months of not practicing, I decided to get my pull-up bar out of the closet. To my surprise and with a slight jump I can still do a pull-up 🧡🧡🧡 *** *** Just a reminder that hard works pays off. It may take awhile and the road may wind but if you stay dedicated and disciplined, you can reach any goal 🧡🧡🧡 #MelindaStrong #msathlete #msfighter #msbadass #strongerthanms #multiplesclerosisawareness #grit #dohardthings #climbmountains #platinumOCR #EvolveOutsidetheGym #nxpt #nxptstrong #strongertogether #disciplineisnotabadword #goals #keepgoingandnevergiveup

🧡🧡KEEP TRYING 🧡🧡 Prior to my diagnosis I was able to complete the 7’ foot wall with ease. Today after two unsuccessful attempts, I took a minute to gather myself and tried again. It felt amazing getting over that wall!!

🧡🧡WorldMSDay🧡🧡 I set a goal for myself at the beginning of May to complete 50 miles. I wasn’t sure I’d hit my goal but after this morning hike I did!! What you don’t see in these pictures is what a grind it was for me to get up and down the mountain. There were even some tears but I just kept putting one foot in front of the other.

🧡🧡 Perseverance 🧡🧡 Slowly but surely I’m working my way back to running (even if it’s a jog/walk right now) the trails again. One foot in front of the other regardless of my time. I’m seeing improvements and have new benchmarks to set. This morning I was able to complete 3.6 miles and that is a BIG DEAL to me! I encourage and challenge you to keep reaching for your goals whatever they may be 🧡 If you want support, I’m in it with you. #MelindaStrong #msathlete #msfighter #strongerthanms #msawareness #thisisms #dohardthings #climbmoutains #spartanstrong #spartanwithMS #spartanathlete #spartanwomen #jazzerciseelcajon #platinumOCR #EvolveOutsidetheGym #nxpt #nxptstrong #strongertogether #fightforwhatyouwant #nothingsholdingmeback #perserverance
Got er done at beach house today. NXPT Mexico style! 🇲🇽. Was a great workout as always! My son was working hard today too-fun to workout together! #nxpt #nxptmade #nxptstrong #nxptfit #nxptfitness #nxptfitnessstudio #fridayworkouts
Saturday Slimdown - was a fun and challenging workout today. Was able to get every rep done with each set with no breaks within the sets. First 3 rounds cruising, round 4 was a struggle, round 5 was misery :). Policia shut down my run. Pretty sure I would have gotten done in 5 minutes though.... well, maybe there would have been a 1 in front of that 5 😁😁😁 #nxpt #nxptmade #nxptfitness #nxptfit #nxptstrong #beachworkoutsplaya #beachworkout #beachwprkoutsarethebest #hockeyexercises #drylandtraining #gettinginhockeyshape #hockeyworkouts #wobblylegs
Did you know Le-Vel’s THIRVE has a fit line for optimal performance and recovery?!? #nxpt #nxptfit #nxptmade #nxptstrong #nutrition
Just Like 5th Grade Math Show Your Work 🤣🤣🤣 Fun to get the heart rate up. 15 minutes in and I was reconsidering how “fun” Sunday was.... That 1 mile run seemed Lllllooonnnggg!!! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS4auJzB7ac8zYEh3hISW7Q #nxpt #nxptmade #nxptfitness #nxptfit #nxptstrong #beachworkoutsplaya #beachworkout #beachwprkoutsarethebest #hockeyexercises #drylandtraining #gettinginhockeyshape #hockeyworkouts #wobblylegs #lacticacidanyone? #heartrateupfitness

Lofty goals this morning tackling the stair way to heaven to South Fortuna but we did it! Almost 6 miles round trip in the books. #MelindaStrong #msathlete #msfighter #strongerthanms #msawareness #thisisms #climbmoutains #spartanstrong #spartanwithMS #spartanathlete #spartanwomen #jazzerciseelcajon #platinumOCR #EvolveOutsidetheGym #nxpt #nxptstrong #fightforwhatyouwant #strongertogether #dohardthings #ilovemypup #hikingdogsofinstagram
“Healing doesn’t mean the loss didn’t happen, it means it no longer controls us” Working toward this as I’ve felt a great loss with my MS diagnosis. I’ve lost some confidence and am determined to get it back! This morning I woke up a bit down and knew I needed an attitude adjustment. So I got dressed, put my shoes on, and headed out for the trails. It was the best decision I made all day. Me and my pup on the dirt was the perfect medicine. #MelindaStrong #msathlete #msfighter #strongerthanms #msawareness #thisisms #dohardthings #climbmoutains #spartanstrong #spartanwithMS #spartanathlete #spartanwomen #platinumOCR #EvolveOutsidetheGym #nxpt #nxptstrong #strongertogether #fightforwhatyouwant
Saturday NXPT Challenge Accepted - Got it done in 25:39- was happy with that time as I haven’t done workout like this for awhile but can definitely improve on that. Thanks so much Dan, Hannibal, Paige, Sam, Mariana, Adrian and all trainers and members for motivation to keep working out! Today was a fun workout-was much harder than I anticipated but great to work to improve on time. 5 Rounds -400m run -10 Pull-ups -20 Pushups -30 Squats First 3Rounds pretty easy , round 4 & 5, little challenging, but had a great view 🕶☀️ post workout Tecate Earned :) #nxpt #nxptmade #nxptfitness #nxptfit #nxptstrong #beachworkoutsplaya #beachworkout #beachwprkoutsarethebest #hockeyexercises #drylandtraining #gettinginhockeyshape #hockeyworkouts #wobblylegs
Beach house Quarantine- needed to come down and secure house so turned patio into NXPT Mexico 🙂 -thanks for great workout today Dan Hark, appreciate you! #shoulderworkouts #shoulderworkout #shouldertraining #shoulderstability #wriststrength #shoulderexercise #shoulderexercises #functionalshoulders #kettlebellshoulders #kettlebelltraining #sandiegostrength #homeworkouts #homeshoulderexercises #functionalfriday #functionalfridays #sandiegoworkouts #sandeigoisstrong #doctorboelk #nxpt #nxptfit #nxptstrong
Functional Friday’s Try it out , switch up to create shoulder stability and stronger wrists for better strength. Baseball, hockey and any sports or workouts really. 1. Standing or Kneeling -bicep curl. 2. Shoulder press with handle down, bell up. 3.Keep Core Muscles Engaged to avoid extra stress into lower back area. 3 sets of 10 each arm should do it :)💪🏽 #shoulderworkouts #shoulderworkout #shouldertraining #shoulderstability #wriststrength #shoulderexercise #shoulderexercises #functionalshoulders #kettlebellshoulders #kettlebelltraining #sandiegostrength #homeworkouts #homeshoulderexercises #functionalfriday #functionalfridays #sandiegoworkouts #sandeigoisstrong #doctorboelk #nxpt #nxptfit #nxptstrong
🧡🧡Lunch Break Work Out - 1 Round. More rounds later. Bodyweight Strength Endurance Workout from @platinumpersonaltraining She’s helping me strengthen my glutes and hamstrings. 🧡🧡 And some real talk- working out at home has been rough but today the sunshine sure helped. My diagnosis with MS is still new and raw. With that, I’ve had days where I’ve felt like my symptoms are getting worse and I won’t be able to continue to do the things I love. On those days, I do my best to acknowledge and feel my feelings. But each day brings new hope and I hold onto the hope instead of hopelessness. #MelindaStrong #msathlete #msfighter #strongerthanms #msawareness #thisisms #dohardthings #climbmoutains #spartanstrong #spartanwithMS #spartanathlete #spartanwomen #jazzerciseelcajon #platinumOCR #EvolveOutsidetheGym #nxpt #nxptstrong #bodyweightworkout #fightforwhatyouwant #nothingsholdingmeback #eachdaybringshope

Nowhere near as fun as NXPT but it’s gonna have to work for now and so grateful for what I have and my health right now!
