I didn’t believe I could succeed..
.
.
💭Here’s some insight on where I was mentally when I took this pic:
(If you don’t read this whole thing at least go to the bottom and read the ending!!!)
I had started my at-home workout programs just a few months before but wasn’t able to FULLY commit. I did my 6 week Pilates/ yoga program (not day for day and definitely skipped some), and then an 80 day one. I was feeling REALLY GOOD about myself and then Day 80 came. I was proud, happy, and could see a difference in my body composition. I didn’t have a plan though afterwards...
.
I QUICKLY let comparison creep in and I was saying things to myself like, “oh well in order to be where I need to be I need to actually lift heavy and be in a gym setting so I looked like, ya know, a fitness person.” 🤦‍♀️ I for some reason thought I needed to travel an extra 20 minutes just to go to the gym where I’d be BY MYSELF (no team cheering me on bc I was “doing my own thing”), dodging the other people that were really cramping the small space we all had, AND trying not to look stupid not knowing what to do in fear of judgement of the other people there🙄 While I still had my subscription to my online workouts, I bought a $20, 8-week lifting program from someone I had been following on IG for a while (I still love her page btw), and guess what?👇🏻
.
I didn’t do it day for day either.
I let stupid excuses be the reason I didn’t go to the gym on the Iowa campus where I was EVERY DAY, but instead my home-town gym in the opposite direction.
I chose the program because I thought it would be that “quick fix” for my body and mentally #false
I was so so wrong and I’m HAPPY I did it because it made me LOVE the at home programs that have now TRANSFORMED my mind, body, AND my personal body image🙌🏻💓
