Being a “gym girl” doesn’t mean your entire life has to revolve around the gym 💫
I don’t track every bite I eat, save foods for “cheat meals,” or restrict myself from enjoying sweets or alcohol. If I want it, I have it. And honestly, I find myself feeling the urge to indulge a lot less when I don’t restrict myself in the first place. I don’t feel like I’m constantly waiting for the next opportunity to have something I’ve been denying myself.
That’s just what works for me.
I also don’t go to the gym every single day. I used to train 6x a week, but now I typically go 4–5x. Rest is mandatory, and I make time for my life outside of the gym too.
I don’t wake up at 5 AM 😭 On a good day, I’m waking up around 9–10. I’ve never been a morning person, and I’m much more productive later in the day. And that’s okay.
I don’t force myself to regularly do cardio or ab workouts just because I feel like I’m supposed to. I lift because I genuinely enjoy lifting.
At the end of the day, fitness is a huge part of my life, but it isn’t my entire life. Time is our most valuable currency, and it’s fleeting. I want to make time for the people, experiences, and things that matter most to me.
Fitness enhances my quality of life. It doesn’t control it. 🤍
