Move With Mya

Are you starting this year on a diet? The definition of diet is what you habitually eat. So the best diet is one that serves you best, that you can enjoy for the rest of your life, not just one month. Can you see yourself on a cayenne lemon juice diet for the rest of your life? Hells no. So what does work? Creating a healthy eating mindset. Eating from a place of abundance. Eating mindfully. And making small incremental changes which eventually yields a habit of healthy e...ating. Most people are gonna go all out this month and try to make radical changes only to end up in the same place by the second week of January. Be kind to yourself. Take small steps that guarantee your success. Here’s some examples: 1. Walk more 2. Sleep more 3. Add more veggies to each meal 4. Include protein with each meal. I choose @meatme.ca products as they're ethically, sustainably, & locally sourced from small farms in my area. Use code WINJA10 for a discount off your first box: www.meatme.ca

Ocho turns 1 today! He's been with us for only 10 months but he's forever changed our lives. I never thought I could love something so much. I was filled with doubts about having a dog but now I cannot imagine our lives without him. Ocho has been the shining light in our lives, the best thing to come out of 2020. Thank you for being you Ocho. Thank you for loving us like you do. Thank you for being the friendliest, most social, most snugglelicious dog ever.... We love you so much.

As I look at my Christmas tree, filled with wrapped gifts, I can’t help but feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude. Growing up, we didn’t have much. I remember going to the food bank and lining up for social assistance. I remember my mom taking me on a bus I remember sitting in a waiting room and then leaving with a bunch of gifts and a Christmas hamper. If we didn't get a hamper, we would wrap empty boxes so there’d be something under the tree. I don’t ever want to forget ...these memories. I am so thankful to have experienced all states of being- from lack to abundance. My mom isn’t with us anymore and I think about her a lot around this time. I’m thinking about you too. Be grateful for all the things you do have. And if you can, give to others. We will forever be thankful. Thank you for being here with me. Happy holidays. Xo, Mya

Where’s your happy place? I have many but one of my favorites is in the kitchen sipping on wine while cooking. Maybe it’s the wine. Maybe it’s the fun of creation or the chopping therapeutics, but man, I love it. I love experimenting with different recipes and cultures. Thanks to my @meatme subscription box, every month is a surprise and meals are always fun. The fact that the meat is ethically sourced from local small farms is just icing on the cake.... This month we got black cod, striploin, and free range chicken & pork. I’m thinking lots of stews and soups. Maybe a Moroccan stew with these bomb sausages.

Just gonna leave this right here . Do you feel vibes and energy? I wouldn't call myself an empath but I can def feel vibes and right now ish is a lil too intense. There's a lot going on that's out of our control. What can you control? You can control your thoughts, how you speak to yourself, the choices you make, how you treat others, how you consume the news & social media.... I'm gonna choose to throwback to White Teletubbie/Condom and maybe we can all get a lil laugh. Thinking about you all and sending split-yo-pants vibes! . . . . . . #movewithmya #winja #thewinjaway #ninja #mindset #bodyappreciation #fitnesstransformation #healthandfitness #healthyhabits #fraservalley #personaldevelopment #growthmindset #movement #homeworkout #movementismedicine #movementculture #ninjatraining #langley #vancouver #gymmotivation #fitforlife #langleyfitness #funnyvideos #laughoftheday #laughatyourself

Get those hips and spine extra buttery like Pillsbury crescent rolls hollaaaa. I tried out this mobility flow from @bradterrellyoga and whoa, it felt so good. Still gotta work on smoothing it out and making it silky but a fun challenge. How was your weekend? It's been an extra indulgent Thanksgiving weekend and I'm capping it off with a Chinese wedding banquet today oh yeah!... Do you feel guilty after overeating or indulging more than usual? This is a struggle for a lot of us. Feelings of guilt and shame are not beneficial nor helpful. It's just a waste of time and energy. Instead, get right back to your healthy habits. Do something small that makes you feel good. I'm going for a walk and doing light mobility today. Let's go! . . . . . . #movewithmya #winja #thewinjaway #ninja #mindset #bodyappreciation #fitnesstransformation #healthandfitness #healthyhabits #fraservalley #personaldevelopment #growthmindset #movement #homeworkout #movementismedicine #movementculture #ninjatraining #langley #vancouver #gymmotivation #fitforlife #langleyfitness #mobilityiscool #thanksgiving2020 #hipmobility #spinalmobility

How has your training style changed over the years? I used to kill myself in the gym, doing crazy intense cardio or squatting so heavy my knees hurt & I had to wear knee sleeves. If it didn't hurt I wasn't training hard enough. If I wasn't a sweaty mess, I didn't really work out. I used to wear a heart rate monitor and track how many calories I'd burn during a workout. I'd be disappointed when it was low.... Since I developed a movement mindset, so much has changed. I move because I love it. There is no finish line. This is it. I've never been more connected with my body & mind. I'm having more fun than ever. And my dream of being full Winja get closer each day. I hope you find your love for movement too.

Life's too short to not be acting a fool! Dancing with Ocho is my new favorite activity. More like I dance and he gives me the side eye. People are often surprised that I don't give an eff about how I come across on social. I think there's nothing more important than being yourself and letting your personality shine. Not everyone will like you but the ones that do, will like you a lot. For you! I wanna attract the smilers, the shakers, the I-don't-give-an-F-ers. I wanna conne...ct with my Clan. We dance like no ones watching and people can hear us laughing from down the hallway. Tag some of your favorite accounts that make you smile. I wanna see! . . . . . . #movewithmya #winja #thewinjaway #ninja #mindset #bodyappreciation #fitnesstransformation #healthandfitness #healthyhabits #fraservalley #bluenosepitbull #gottipitbull #personaldevelopment #growthmindset #movement #homeworkout #movementismedicine #movementculture #ninjatraining #langley #vancouver #gymmotivation #dancelikenooneswatching #happyvibes #funnyvideos @happywithpitbulls @pitbullsofinstagram @puppypitbulls_

Waffles or pancakes? Salted caramel or red velvet? Both baby! But I do love waffles more. @womensbest now has sugar free syrup in salted caramel & red velvet! I'm usually not a fan of sugar free stuff cuz if I'm gonna eat syrup, i shall eat syrup. However, these are legit really good and don't have that weird fake sugar aftertaste. Here's the easiest protein waffle/pancake recipe with the best macros you'll need thanks to @creweskitchen:... 1 banana 1 egg 1 scoop protein powder (I used vegan vanilla from @womensbest) 1/2 tsp baking powder Top with all the syrup Shop Women's Best products here: https://womens.best/movewithmya . . . . . #movewithmya #mealprep #proteinpancakes #howtoeathealthy #proteinwaffles #healthyeating #lowcarbrecipes #cleaneating #sugarfree #eatwelllivewell #healthydiet #iifym #intuitiveeating #mealprep101#healthyhabits #womensbest #veganprotein #breakfastideas

Have you ever taken a break from something for a long time, only to be surprised that you've still got it? Me me me! This levitating ape was a huge surprise. I had some elbow issues last year and have stopped practicing hand balancing for over a year. I no longer have pain so decided to give it a try and boom. I contribute this to learning how to control my body via unconventional movement styles, strengthening my core, controlling intraabdominal pressure, and all the mobilit...y work. Another big lesson is to not push through pain. Pain is your body sending you a message. Listen. Tune in. Train smart so you can train forever. It should be about longevity & durability vs looks or setting PRs. . . . . . #movewithmya #winja #thewinjaway #ninja #mindset #bodyappreciation #ninja #healthandfitness #healthyhabits #fraservalley #personaldevelopment #growthmindset #movement #homeworkout #movementismedicine #movementculture #ninjatraining #langley #vancouver #gymmotivation #mobility #handbalancing #levitatingape #animalflow #longetivity #durability #tuckbalance
