💛Yea, I got Stretch Marks... these scars show I had three kids. But, more than that they show that I went from 135# ➡️ 210# pregnant (not proud of it). They now serve as a reminder of how hard I have worked and how far I have come. I wish I didn’t have stretch marks, to be honest 🤷🏼‍♀️. I used to hide under baggie tees and big shorts, as I was so self conscious. I never thought the day would come where I would wear a sports bra or a two piece in public again... but that changed when I got more comfortable with myself and the body I have been working on. If you know me now, you know I’m not shy anymore. I’m proud...flaws and all. ❤️💪

Last night over 150+ college women from @kentstate_inchaarg gathered together to SWEAT with meeeee!!! The @chaarg organization is a group of girls, on college campuses across the country, who are all working towards making their health a priority... IN COLLEGE! I coach them a couple of times a year, here is a glimpse of what we doin. I LOVE THEM!! -BA 💙⚡️

We don’t workout hard to eat bad... we EAT GOOD so we can WORKOUT HARD! Justifying a crappy meal because of an intense workout never really worked for us. But, fueling our bodies with good food before and after a workout has produced real results. The reward is being stronger, feeling better and having more energy. #RALABALA #sweatandfeast #tbt #workout #sweat #eatgood #perform #fuel #strong #fit #fitcouple #fitfam #driven #crossfit #realfood #wholefood #work #glutenfree #dairyfree

Happy 9th Birthday to our one and only, Asher Luca Lazaro aka #thrAsher. We hope you all have an Asher in your life... he is one of the most intense, loving, wild, tender and baddest dudes on the planet. He goes “all out” in everything he does and is a constant reminder that we should live fully in every moment we are given. #happybirthday #splAsher @ralphlazaro 💙 #RALABALA #sweatandfeast #sweat #asher #thrasher #love #birthday #9 #son #mom #dad #strong #wild #workout #lift #squat #jump #crossfit #crossfitkids #play #fun #family #fitfam #healthykids #faith #truth

“After looking at the way things are on this earth, here’s what I’ve decided is the best way to live: Take care of yourself, have a good time, and make the most of whatever job you have for as long as God gives you life. And that’s about it. That’s the human lot. Yes, we should make the most of what God gives, both the bounty and the capacity to enjoy it, accepting what’s given and delighting in the work. It’s God’s gift! God deals out joy in the present, the now. It’s useless to brood over how long we might live.” ‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭5:18-20‬ ‭MSG‬‬ We felt this @calumvonmoger #RALABALA #sweatandfeast #sweat #truth #faith #scripture #joy #loved #enough #healthy #happy #workout #jump #play #healthykids #family #squad #vacation #tbt #blessed #montana #MT #cle

WE BACK to school. ✌️ It’s been real #teamlazaro but it’s time to start contributing to society again. #shots #backtoschool *I already had to explain why I put salt on my arm before I took my ginger shot 🤷🏼‍♀️. @ralphlazaro #RALABALA #sweatandfeast #sweat #squad #crossfit #workout #strong #kids #lift #crossfitkids #momoftheyear #mom #dad #fail #video #parentingfail #parenting

“How long did it take?” 🤔 We get this question a lot...and we always kind of stumble over the answer, because it just isn’t that simple. But, there is a message to share here, we just had to marinate on it a bit. It’s not about how long it took, but it’s the CONSISTENCY y’all. We wish the answer was “oh, just take this magic pill everyday” or “try this brand new trendy diet plan for 30 days and poof!” Sometimes it feels like that’s the answer people really want to hear. Unfortunately, we haven’t found those yet. We have found that CONSISTENTLY eating good/clean/real/whole food, working out 5-6 days a week and generally staying as active as possible (even on our rest days) works. And the good news is if you find consistency you will have a much easier time maintaining, which means less stress and more joy 😄. We include our kids in this as well...we are helping them form habits they will take with them for the rest of their life. Consistently putting veggies on their plate gets them used to the idea of always having them with a meal. Regularly taking them hiking, for a bike ride or on some other active adventures gets their body used to staying active and eventually they will crave it more. So the next time we get asked, “how long did it take”, which will likely happen tomorrow, we have the right answer to share...CONSISTENCY 🙌 #teamlazaro #RALABALA #sweatandfeast #sweat #workout #jump #beach #high #obx #cle #family #familytime #work #play #crossfit #mom #dad #crossfitkids #healthy #happy #flex #strong #lift #adventure #bettertogether #eatgood #snatch #abs #wholefood #realfood

“A lone wolf is a wolf that is searching, and what he seeks is another wolf. Like us, wolves form friendships and maintain life-long bonds. They succeed by cooperating, and they struggle when they’re alone. Like us, wolves need each other.” -Jim and Jamie Dutcher 🐺💙 FIND yo PACK #RALABALA #sweatandfeast #sweat #wolfpack #workout #work #crossfitgames #crossfit #family #friends #lift #squat #muscleup #adventure #pack #squad #love #happy #healthy

☝️OUR Number Ones☝️ We regularly talk about our relationship and the importance of “aligning our number 1s”. To paraphrase, the core areas we focus on in our lives are our FAITH FAMILY FITNESS FOOD. Within that are some things that bring us joy: passions, experiences, hobbies and various projects. These are great things to enjoy individually, but we find more joy comes to our marriage when we can figure out how we share in our passions. We show up for each other whatever the moment is and work to ensure our number 1s line up...and it’s an extra bonus when we share those number 1s with our squad (Wolfpack). 🐺☝️💙

We’ll SHOW them. Yes we TELL them to be kind, patient, loving, eat good food, move their bodies, and all the other beneficial things parents say to their kids... BUT we find that they hear us best when we SHOW them.

Anything in life worth having is worth working for... #love We did not live in the same city until we were married. Being long distance was tough and it forced most of our communication to be via phone. But, it also made us comfortable with talking about EVERYTHING and has built a strong foundation for our marriage. Even right now we are apart (@balazaro in Montana and @ralphlazaro in CLE). But, we have years of practice and have put the WORK in, which helps us manage through times we aren’t together...and ever grow our relationship further. 🤝❤️ #RALABALA #sweatandfeast #sweat #marriage #love #work #putinwork #dowork #happy #healthy #strong #workout #fun #play #rainbow #sunset #photo #crossfit #lululemon #married #mom #dad #motive #worthit #MT #CLE
