I haven't thrown some weight around for over a month now, so it felt bloody good to push my body through a tough session. And she responded well!
The thing is, I'm human just like you. As a wife, mother, daughter, farmer, volunteer, friend, and business owner (amongst other hats đ) it's hard to put yourself first. It's also hard to kick my own arse when I'm my own program writer and personal trainer. It's hard to schedule in an hour in between everything else. It's hard to get uncomfortable on your own in the gym. It's hard to acknowledge that you are just as important as every family member and client. It's hard to spend most of your days alone. It's hard to find balance and recovery. It's hard to get enough sleep and be organised enough to make good nutritional choices. I lost the love of lifting and hitting because everything got "too hard".
But I'm still showing up and I'm still stumbling and falling pretty much every day. Nothing worthwhile was easy, so I've just got to keep pushing through the "too hard" because my body, head, and soul need me to. And so does yours.
Get to it Heroes!!
