This is a reminder to love yourself and always have a “why” 🤔 ❤️
The first pic is just before my bicep injury. I ruptured my long head tendon, had surgery 6 days later, and now it’s all lumpy like Popeye 😅. To be honest, I was scared that it would affect how I function in daily life and the chance of reinjuring myself. No one likes being told they can’t do something anymore 👎🏻
After a few weeks of rehab, I was good to go. But I didn’t want to work out anymore. I realized I didn’t have a “why”.
Sure, getting jacked and being strong is great but it’s no “why”. I was a chubby kid growing up, a pack and a half a day smoker in my teens and early twenties. I changed that all around.
But my “why” didn’t change. I just didn’t want to be overweight ever again, becoming fit was just something along the way that I accomplished. I didn’t love myself as much as I could have.
The third pic is myself today. I haven’t have a gym workout in 7 months now, and I don’t care. I eat well, I keep active and I still coach online clients. I love myself a lot more now, I recognize my accomplishments for what they are and the hard work I’ve put in to get to where I am today.
Social media isn’t reality, and don’t fall into the trap thinking it is. When you compare yourself to others, you instantly lose.
Recognizing how far you’ve come, and where you want to go with it, is how you win 🙌
