Happy 2024 everybody!
One of my goals for the new year is to focus on strength training and lifting weights. I am still fairly strong but I used to be even stronger. I want to lift heavy and use my strength training in a functional way so I can do cool things like go on hikes, and be an active mom for my kid and family. I don’t want to miss out on moments and fun because I’m physically unable to participate with my hubby and my son and their memory making 🥰.
So I went to the gym today. I chose to do a leg & ab workout I have done in the past. One that I know and enjoy but that’s also challenging.
All I can say is WOW 👀.
Boy oh boy - today was an incredibly humbling experience. I struggled. Big time.
It can feel quite disheartening & extremely frustrating to struggle at doing something that you know you previously managed well.
But if all you focus on is what you can’t (yet) do then that’s all you’re going to see.
Remember: comparison is the thief of joy. 💫
Yes I’m not where I want to be. But I still showed up. Day 1 of 2024 and I was in the gym. The first Monday of a new year and I was at that squat rack sweating bullets.
It’s a new year and I am looking forward to seeing where my fitness journey takes me.
Have you made any goals for yourself for this year?
