I’ve been finding it really hard to pull back on my training lately - those voices that say “you’ll lose progress,” “you’ll gain weight,” “you need to keep pushing.”
But I’ve had to surrender to what my body is telling me and actually look after it.
Your cycle is basically your monthly report card… and losing it is one of the biggest signs your body needs more support, not more stress.
So this season isn’t about pushing harder - it’s about pulling back so my body can finally feel safe again.
I’m reminding myself that training through this would be like putting paper-mâché over a burst pipe… it might look “fine,” but it keeps leaking and never truly heals. But if you take the time to replace the pipe, rebuild the wall and use proper materials, the structure becomes stronger than before, even if it takes longer and feels inconvenient.
✨ Long-term > short-term. Healing > hustling. ✨
non-stim pre has honestly been perfect for this chapter. It lets me show up for movement without sending my stress levels through the roof.
Your body remembers everything so treat it like it matters. 🤍
If you’re in a season like this too, you’re not alone.
Code MOLLYC if you want to try it ✨
