Hits close to home. Too many forms of addiction.... Too few people want to look at the "why's" before casting a judgement

It's hard at the time..... But grace is sometimes the one thing we need most.

Just because classes have stopped...... Doesn't mean the work or the journey does. Sunday accountability thanks to the amazing wife.

The progress is hardest, and most important, when no one is looking. You owe it to yourself to invest the time and work into yourself!!!!

C**t acted as our local athletic trainer afterwards..... We'll really just for Sarah Funk Eyssen ..... I got no treatment afterwards

Hey hey all my GBF peeps and supporters!!!! Hope this finds everyone doing well . Long post warning

It's with a very heavy (and somewhat conflicted) heart that I announce that starting immediately, Gracefully Broken Fitness will no longer be hosting classes for the foreseeable future. I've prayed on this back and forth, and have changed my mind a dozen times, and ultimately have to follow my gut.

Over the last 18 months I have watched a sudden vision come to life, with the help of Justin Smith, and I have met some awesome people. This group was intended to reach those in recovery from addiction, struggling with recovery, active addiction, feeling like they don't belong, looking for another tool in recovery, or none of the above but wanted to show up and support those who are.... And on any given Saturday it's been a beautiful thing to witness.

Sadly though, over the last 6 months those beautiful Saturdays have become less and less consistent.... And that's ok too. For the last 18 months though, I (and Justin) have put family, plans, trips, and work second so that I could be available. Putting this group first was what was needed at the time to get it started and to build a foundation... And that was ok. Today, I now simply find myself in a season where I need reprioritize these things... Putting family and such higher on the list. This has lead me to the decision to forego holding our classes indefinitely.

Maybe the people the Lord meant for me to reach this go round have already been helped. Maybe the timing isn't right for Harrison county. Maybe God's plan was something simpler, and the seeds I was meant to sow.... Well maybe they're already sprouting.... Lord knows I've witnessed people changing their lives one "Saturday talk after class" at a time.

I love y'all, appreciate you sticking this out with me....
And remember to change the narrative and how we look at addiction and those recovering from it.

Dues paid!!!!!

Recovery is a journey that you CANNOT start for family or friends..... you have to do it for YOU when YOU are ready. But I'll tell you what..... When your family, friends, and people from the community show up to support...... My lord it's truly amazing.

Today was simply a family affair (and even our church fam) for an hour of sweat equity and uplifting each other. In honor of all the quick horses today, we did 4 rounds of :40sec sprints across 5 movements. The tanks were emptied, the mind pushed, and bodies tested..... And everyone killed it!!!!

Questionable clouds this morning gave way to some great weather for runs and barbell work today. Even had the pleasure of having a new guest this morning, as Ty came out to support the mission of GBF. Both these guys crushed this fast paced, multi-movement workout!!!!

Such a great time yesterday!!! My brother in recovery, Forest, celebrated 365 days of a changed life!!!! To celebrate I gave him a choice of two workouts. In typical Gracefully Broken Fitness fashion (always pushing and proving) Forest chose the heavier longer workout....... And he ABSOLUTELY CRUSHED IT!!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS on a year of changing the narrative Forest!!!!!

Couple days late, been busy, but my brother in recovery deserves his props!!!!
Decided to work on some explosiveness with plyo pushups, paired with slow single ring rows.
Took the solo class to work on some progressive movements to help towards handstand push-ups. Decided to join in, hence the lack of pics.
Lashawn never misses a chance to show up for himself every class.... And it shows!!!!!

Lots of pull-ups, dumbbell snatches, and jump rope today. Pushed em hard, didn't let em rest, and showed them just what they're capable of.
