The story of past 2 years of my life and importance of not giving up and showing up!
January 2 years ago i started my first prep for bikini comp ( first pic-65kg), after the competition my hormones went down the hill ( obviously we know it and we suspect that to happen, its normal in this sport) but usually after gaining weight back, everything comes back to normal, at least for young girls😂 that didn’t happen to me.. and it wasn’t a weight loss or competition fault, simply PERIMENOPAUSE got me unexpectedly and not prepared at all!! Obviously i didn’t know that at that time and took me a year to finally figure it out what was wrong with me! Test after test, everything was in a normal range! But fatigue, tiredness and exhaustion was unbearable! Couldn’t even do simple chores at home never mind training! Obviously a lot of other weird symptoms were at present, so i started my own research! It looked like perimenopause, so I suggested my diagnosis to my gp and she agreed, even though my hormones were at normal range. I was lucky enough to get a treatment for that! Happy days!! After couple of months of using hrt i finally felt like myself again🥳
So, after last show i meant to grow, improve my physique, but obviously it didn’t happen as expected..BUT… It didn’t matter how exhausted i felt i was still showing up every day , was ticking all boxes, not 💯 obviously but i still did it, most of the time it felt like waisted sessions, because i couldn’t lift heavy due to being so exhausted and weak, so i focused on light weights, correcting my form and tempo..
Second picture was taken today, same 65kg, 2 years after the first one, and it’s just a pure proof of what consistency and time can do! Its not a massive growth but taking into consideration my health im kinda proud of my self🤭. It doesn’t have to be perfect every time you do smth! You can slow down if you dont feel good, but the most important thing is NEVER give up!! Results will follow even if your not 💯 in it! Every step you take, no matter how small it is, leads you to the better you, to the better results!
The moral of my story? No matter how sh*tty you feel, never give up and keep going 💪
