It’s ok to have bad days.

This week I have been battling my demons. I have felt overwhelming anxious over little things and I’ve been doing my best to push it aside and keep going, but the problem is the more I did that the more it built up.
So much to the point that I finally broke.
I’ve been blaming my mood on allergies and the time change, but really my body was just asking for a break.
I’ve been so nonstop with some things that I’ve forgotten to take a second to take care of myself, all the things I pushed aside that I haven’t wanted to deal with surfaced and I ended up taking a full mental health day yesterday.

It was a time for me to reflect and realize that it’s ok not to be ok, and that life can be stressful and though I don’t want that to consume me, I’m allowed to feel it.
Not every day will be a great one, but we have a choice to turn it around and learn from it.

I’ve learnt that I need to voice my emotions more and come to terms with some of the stressors in my life. A lot has changed the last few months and I don’t think I’ve quite adjusted but I’m getting the hang of it. Working on being more organized and centred is my goal the next while.

How are you adjusting to this time of year ?

Do you pay attention to your everyday language ?

Today I got chatting with a client about how sometimes we can absorb negative behaviours from those around us. The biggest topic we discussed was our language towards certain things.
I meet a lot of people that say things like “I HAVE to go to the gym” or “I FAILED my set today”
When we use this kind of terminology we start to diminish the privileges we really have in everyday life, you GET to go to the gym. Your body is healthy and capable of doing so much, so be grateful for the opportunity you have in going to the gym.
And no one ever truly fails anything in my opinion, you don’t fail, you learn. You learn how to get better + do better in the area you thought you “failed”.

Changing your everyday language can make or break how you view your days ☀️

I feel like body dysphormia is a topic that isn’t talked about enough.

My journey has not been linear what so ever, I’ve gone through cuts and bulks so many times because I was always scared my body wasn’t enough.

This year is my first ever serious bulk because in all honesty, the ones I tried in the past I started to panic that I looked overweight. I was terrified that people would see me differently or deem me over weight, so every bulk I ever attempted lasted a few weeks before I convinced myself it was time to lose weight.

Sadly that mindset took over and even in the right photo I thought I needed to lose weight. I was always so stressed about not being toned enough which made me feel less appealing to those around me.

Body dysphormia isn’t something that just goes away, but you’re capable of silencing that voice that continues to tell you you’re not worthy or need to look a certain way.
These last few years I’ve taken the opportunity to really get to know myself and surround myself with nothing but positivity and that’s been my biggest step forward in changing my mindset towards this journey.

Sure bad days can still come up, but they aren’t as consuming. I know why I’m taking this journey & know it’s for me and not external factors.

The secret to seeing results ⬇️

👏🏽 STICK
👏🏽TO
👏🏽A
👏🏽PROGRAM

Too many people jump from program to program in hopes for some sort of “quick fix” to their fitness journey and I’m here to tell you that DOESN’T exist.

In order to see results in whatever you’re doing, you need to be committed to a plan for a minimum of 4 to 8 weeks.

An easy way to start on a plan for programming is recording your workouts ⬇️
🤘🏽Write down the exercise you did
🤘🏽the sets and reps completed
🤘🏽the weight you used

This ensures you’re keeping track of what you’re doing and also helps you practice progressive overload so you can slowly increase your weights instead of guessing what you may have done the last time you did that exercise.

Every fitness journey starts with a plan 📖

For 2 years I’ve been operating under the name “Sammy fit” it’s been great and I’ve been able to reach so many people and impact them, but the name never truly embodied why I do what I do.

So today, I’m proud to announce Progress Over Perfection Personal Training.
The last week has been tough trying to establish who I am and why I started what I did, so I began by reaching out to clients and asking them to describe my training style. Just any idea to make me understand what exactly the impact was that I was creating. One of my beautiful clients sent me a paragraph on how I’ve changed her life and how she no longer focuses on the idea of perfection, but the idea of the progress and how to sustain that.

Man did that shake my world up. It helped me remember the “why”, why I’ve always had a passion to want to help people and create some sort of light in their life. It brought me back to when I was 11-13 years old. If you guys have been following me for awhile, you know that I lost someone very close to me when I was younger. My Bestfriend was unfortunately diagnosed with cancer when she was about 10-11 years old. Though we got this overbearing news, you could barely tell. Jocelyn was not of this earth, she smiled and cracked jokes all through the pain and treatments. She continued to call everyone dude and live out her creative passions. She sang more than usual and she always made you leave the room feeling like your day just got a little brighter.

She taught me to be a fighter, to use my positivity and the light inside me to truly impact other people. She is the reason for my being, though it would be incredible to have her by my side, living out our dreams of being neighbours and storming the world together, I’m proud to know she is always a part of me. The light that still shines and helps me find my way. After 11 years of losing myself and finally working on myself, she has taught me that she is my why.

She is the person that never judged or hated a person, she was the one to pick you up when you’re down.

So Progress over Perfection is about learning to fall in love with yourself, to embody the person you truly are without judgement. To learn how to change yourself and chase your dreams and sustain that for the long run.

So a thank you, to those that stood by me while I lost myself and still cheered me on, to those who trust me to start their fitness journey and to those who have loved me through it all.

Welcome to my business and all the endless possibilities
