“And I just can’t keep living this way, So starting today, I'm breaking out of this cage. I'm standing up, I'mma face my demons, I'm manning up, I'mma hold my ground.
I've had enough, now I'm so fed up,
Time to put my life back together right now” — Eminem

Really not sure how I looked out there today, but I certainly felt STRONG! Even through a challenging route (hello Cobequid🙄)... wasn’t at all sure how it was going to go since I’ve been so uncomfortable the last few days. I slept really well, and overall my legs, feet, and toe felt pretty good...
I mis-mixed my @nuunhydration (rookie mistake). Luckily, I realized very early on and had backup fuel to rely on (and I keep a spare tube in the car). Also, first time using @endurance_tap maple syrup and O.M.G. I’m in love! They taste GREAT and sat VERY well in my belly (no cramping or GI issues during the run)...
Thanks to @becominggranola for letting me tag along with the Half Marathoners, and to Barb, Kim, and Jon for letting me hang out for the first 9ish

To last July and my second ever marathon. Fort William, I was in lots of pain and I later found out why, I had a broken foot.
.
I have now done 12 marathons and 2 ultras. I have 3 marathons booked for next year ( so far).
.
Especially looking forward to Berlin with all the IG squad. 🍻🍻🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪

Next Year I will be using my marathons to raise some money for @mindcharity I am organising an online raffle and have some amazing prizes lined up. So watch this space 😘

My brother was trying to focus his camera; I was: trying to figure out if I could take a picture on the edge of the parking structure wall, thinking about the three waves I caught earlier, and reflecting on how much oceanside is changing.☀️
••••
I’m also reflecting, right now, on how much I am changing. I feel like after several years of being in a toxic relationship, I’m starting to live again. I am realizing what I am worth and what I have to offer. I am realizing that I am not perfect and I need to own up to my vices and faults. I am realizing that it’s okay to be me, whatever that may be and whatever that may turn into.
📷I’ll relish sweet memories
🧐learn from my mistakes
💪lift heavy
🌊go richter when surfing
⛰climb high despite my fear of heights
🍦eat cheat meals
...and just try to be a good person to everyone I encounter.
••••
I have amazing people in my life and I am so grateful they’ve stuck around. Here’s to all of you who have been there for me through all my craziness and shenanigans, #obvi more to come🥂

If there is an exchange that results in mutual growth, they will stay in your life until they don't serve you anymore. Stay positive and enjoy your Saturday my friends. 🏙🧠🚶♂️
Hey #IGFAm ,
Here are some funny BLOOPERS as @kleofit and I were making the video 😂, but go check out the full video on my YouTube channel. ( LINK IN BIO) I personally was really excited to do a Halo Top review on some of their flavors. If you guys know me well, then you know I love ice cream and that’s my go to dessert. When I found out about HALO TOP I was supper exited because of the low calories. Hope you all like my review and go try out our top flavors. Check out HALO TOP instagram @halotopcreamery
..cuz without them I am nothing..🙏🏼 What does the word “family” mean to you ? Is it the people of your own bloodline... your relatives that share the same ancestry? When you refer to your family what makes them “family” Is it a forced get together with a group of people you have to sit and eat dinner with or take undesired trips to see? Family to me are the people you trust and love They are the ones you would do anything for and in return they would do the same for you, blood related or not They encourage you to do good and want to see you strive They never bring you down or discourage you and they help you accomplish your goals Today I would like to take this time to thank each and every one of the members of my #FAMILY You all know who you are so no need for tags Have a blessed Saturday I am grateful for all of you and everything you do and have ever done for me and my boys 💞I love you all

1,2,3,4 I declare a silly string war! Friday nights are special to us. It’s the one night a week where we are all home and get to spend time as a family. Love these moments with my littles ( ok maybe not so little anymore) 💕
Happy Saturday #IGFam ! So...as you can see I took a leap into the #darkside yesterday! This is actually my natural hair color. Well, as natural as it can be/look for coloring over platinum blonde hair.
I have to say, I LOVE IT! I was nervous of course because I’ve been blonde for most my life. I always preferred my hair lighter. I honestly felt like it was apart of my identity. I was known as the short, bubbly, blonde. I feel so shallow for that. You know, I don’t feel like that girl anymore. Don’t get me wrong there was nothing wrong with her. I love my story, my past, and who I was. Lately I’ve felt like I don’t want to be known as that Paige anymore. I feel this sense of expectation. I feel like a completely different person. I’m not the girl who competes anymore , who is Barbie, who is “Mrs. Fitness”, “positive patty”. I’m not “negative Nancy” now either but I’m different. I’m a wife, I’m a traveler, I’m on the road to be a dietitian, I’m a foodie #FitinDisFoodInMaMouth . If anything I’m “natty Natalie”. 🤣 Okay, point, I’m just DIFFERENT. I am so excited for this next chapter of my life and the adventures to come. I guess apart of expressing that and having others see me in another light, I wanted a different look. Here it is, folks! It’s going to take awhile for my hair to accept this new color. When you take all the pigment out by lightening it, it’s really hard for your hair to hold any color after that. So, It might start to look faded and weird soon by eventually, with lots of time, I’ll have a full head of healthy, natural beautiful hair! I’m excited for the less maintenance and healthiness! Thank you hubby @squwelch88 for encouraging me to step out of my comfort zone. As always, you were right, I do look good dark! 😚😉 #FindYou#BeYou#Happy#NewChapter#Excitement#Adventures#Life#Traveler#Natty#Natural#BruenettesDoItBest#Wifey
🌟 CLIENT APPRECIATION 🌟
.
A massive shoutout to one of my online clients who has absolutely killed it since we started working together. (she would like to stay anonymous) .
Since day one she put in the work, stuck to it when she was still learning the ropes, and now she’s reaping the rewards.
Would you believe that there’s only 300g difference between these photos? Her body composition has completely changed and most importantly she’s ENJOYING the whole process. .
If you’re reading this, i am SO proud of you and your outstanding work ethic. I look forward to what else we can do together. 🙌🏻 .
.
I’ll be opening up spaces for my online coaching in two weeks. Email me for more information or to be added to the waiting list! (Link is in my bio)
