Did I want to be here? No

Did I know it was going to be good for my mental health? Yes

I’ve always had this love/hate relationship with fitness

When I first set out to lose weight it was my enemy. Even walking half a mile wreaked havoc on my whole body and I just wanted to lay in bed

With some forced consistency it became easier and then followed the non scale victories

Which lead me to push myself harder to hit new milestones

The most difficult part for me is just getting there. Once I’m in I have very little room for excuse to not be successful - even if it’s just 20 min on a treadmill

Someone told me yesterday “the heaviest weight in the gym is the front door” - I agree with this 100%

Over the last year and a half I have beat myself up so bad emotionally over the fact that I wasn’t able to continue my weightless journey in the timeframe I had planned

Life had other plans for me and after all this time I’ve finally accepted it and I am learning to move forward without the guilt and sadness

The setbacks really did a number on my physical, mental and emotional state but it’s up to me to control how I move forward

It’s at nobody else’s speed or pace but my own

Giddy up
