I don’t post my progress for vanity reason or for likes. I post my own progress because I'm actually proud of my body for probably the first time in my entire life.
I used to believe I'd never be as fit as I was in my 20s.
I used to believe that having kids my body wouldn't be able to lift as heavy as I used to.
I used to believe that I'd have to be in a calorie deficit for months & months & months in order to lose the "baby weight"
I used to believe I'd struggle with food noise for the rest of my life.
That's all false.
Over the past year I've grown in so many ways; mentally and physically.
Showing up consistently for myself day in and day out, not out of punishment but because I wanted to and started to feel good again.
I wanted to feel stronger, more confident and COMFORTABLE in my own body.
Yes, I spent time in a calorie deficit to lose body fat; about 4-5 months.
BUT
I have spent the last 8 months at maintenance calories, still losing body fat & getting strong AS F**K.
I've learned to let go of the reins around strict nutrition and realize the cake, the burger, and the cookie won't ruin my progress OR send me into a place of restriction.
You can be stronger, more fit and comfortable in your own body even after kids.
It takes discipline to be consistent enough long enough to see the results but it doesn't have to be perfect.
Perfect doesn't equal sustainable.
Having the right tools, accountability and mindset will get you where you want to be. You just have to give yourself a chance to prove it to yourself. Keep going. It is SO worth it.
Do it for your kids but do it for YOU.
