🧠 Mindset & training to feel like yourself again

After surgery, I didn’t need every workout to be impressive.

I needed something on the plan besides rehab.

Once I was medically cleared, dumbbell bench press was one upper-body option I could build around my restrictions.

That mattered bc walking into the gym with an actual workout gave me a piece of my normal week back.

Not random exercises.

A reason to feel like I was still TRAINING.

Which shoes are easiest.

Whether the place has stairs.

How long I’ll be on my feet.

When I need to do rehab.

Whether I have enough energy to go out AFTER rehab.

That’s why an injury can make your life feel smaller before you even realize it’s happening.

It’s not always one dramatic moment.

It’s 20 tiny decisions that used to require zero thought.

Getting more of your life back starts with noticing when those decisions stop running the day.

Save this for the week you’re tired of planning EVERYTHING around recovery.

It was sleeping in her own bed.

Then using a cane instead of a walker.

Tracking her steps.

Seeing her PT measurements change.

Ana told me:

“I have been using your journal to mark down the little accomplishments like sleeping in my bed and using the cane over the walker. I also mark down my measurements whenever I go to PT as well as keeping track of my steps.”

THIS is why I made 75 Recovery.

Bc when your only scoreboard is “Am I back yet?” it’s really easy to miss how much of your life you’re already getting back.

The shower you didn’t need help with.

The stairs that sucked a little less.

The first night back in your own bed.

The first thing you did without thinking about your injury the entire time.

Those wins count.

And on the days recovery feels painfully slow, I want you to have the receipts to prove how far you’ve actually come.

Your athlete can be crushing PT and still be having a REALLY tough time.

They can hit every appointment, do the exercises and get a good progress report.

Then sit on the sideline while their season keeps moving without them.

Don’t make physical progress the only evidence you use to decide how they’re doing.

Pay attention to the ride home.
The plans they stopped making.
How often every conversation comes back to the injury.

That tells you something too.

Recovery progress is more than what happens at PT.

75 Recovery is my guided 75-day journal for tracking the physical AND mental wins you’d otherwise miss.

One of the first things I wanted after surgery was something that actually felt like training.

Once I was cleared, lat pulldowns were something I could build around my restrictions.

I couldn’t train lower body normally.

That didn’t mean the rest of my training had to disappear too.

Having options gave me a piece of my routine back.

I wish I knew how easy it was to miss my own progress after surgery.

Because when you’re waiting for the BIG milestones, the small ones barely count.

Your first shower alone.

One crutch instead of two.

Sleeping in your own bed.

Walking a little farther.

But those are the wins you need to see on the days you swear you’re getting nowhere.

That’s why I created 75 Recovery.

Start on Day 1. Track what’s changing.

So instead of constantly looking at how far you have to go, you have PROOF of how far you’ve already come.

DM 75 to get yours before surgery.

Recovery has a funny way of making yesterday’s HUGE win feel irrelevant the second you start thinking about the next milestone.

So let’s actually count it.

What can you do TODAY that you couldn’t do two weeks ago?

Shower alone? One crutch? Drive? Sleep through the night? Walk farther?

Drop yours below. Even if it feels ridiculously small, it counts!!

Recovery progress is easy to miss when you’re only measuring yourself against who you were before surgery.

Start with Day 1.

Count the shower, the extra step, the better night of sleep, and every small thing you can do now that you couldn’t do then.

Those wins count. Write them down.

DM me “75” and I’ll show you how 75 Recovery helps you track the progress you’re too close to see so you can stop feeling behind and start seeing how far you’ve actually come.
