It hasn't come easy....โน๏ธ
The pic in the middle is 7 months post partum and the last pic is 1 month postpartum.
2020 was THE most out of shape I've ever been, and also hadn't been exercising consistently that year and then some (awful pregnancy plus post-partum c-section recovery + lockdown with 2 brick and mortar businesses).
But here's the plot twist...being a mama has changed my perspective on a lot of things, and one of the hardest challenges I faced was not "caring" enough to get back into peak condition. All I cared about was Emery and our little family ๐ and being healthy...I wasn't upset about my body or how I looked (at least not enough to make a change anytime soon).
HOWEVER, the thing that got me to change? I hated not having a consistent workout routine, or prioritized eating healthier or moving more. I could feel the difference in my irritability, energy and focus/drive to get things doneโฆespecially in my energy to be an awesome mom to Emery. So I decided I needed to fix that and start showing up as my best self.
My progress didnโt happen because I am blessed with good genetics or that Iโm luckyโฆ.
All it took was discipline. Doing the things I know I needed to do, EVEN when I didn't feel like doing them. Discipline to stay consistent and prioritize myself in a way that lets me grow towards my potential.
Is it always sunshine and rainbows? NO. Heck no...but even if I start drifting a bit... I always come back to prioritizing managing my mind and actions through discipline, and the rest follows suit.
Donโt wait for motivation, or disciplineโฆjust get up and do it now! โ
