Cold play couldn’t have said it better when they said 🎶 Let’s take it back to the start 🎶
There is something so deeply humbling about restarting, not quite from the very start of it all, but there’s a big gap between my ‘then’ and the now.
Because life right, and slipped habits, and more life and changes, and because women’s bodies were never meant to stay the one thing for forever; but also, gosh do I miss the end pic side of the progress photos I once possessed. IYKYK HM gals!
I’m under no illusions about ever being her again, I wouldn’t want to even if I could, this current version of me is bloody awesome. I’ve grow so much personally and spiritually and I really like who I see when I look in the metaphorical mirror; maybe not the actual mirror so much but I know which mirror I’d rather be super happy with the reflection of and I’m good.
But.
Two things can be true at the very same time, and I am ready to see heavier weights on the barbell, and corrected form and an increased level of fitness and hormones working effectively because my muscle mass index is at a point where they do.
Going from squatting almost double my body weight to having 15kgs on the bar and having to be hyper focused on my form as opposed to it being commonplace is a humbling experience. But, I truly think magic happens when we embrace the slap of the humility stick and accept things for what they are right?!
Here’s to the next 8 weeks (the new Zing Well-Being challenge starts next Monday) and really starting to lay the brickwork for a solid foundation of habits that see me hit some goals.
I am hand outstretched to anyone who wants to take mine and come with me. The science is undisputed on the power of working together in community for a common goal (in this case our health) and having a group of people who are forging ahead on a parallel path is absolutely what I’m calling out for.
If your place is a bit whiffy from the smell of your ow BS, I’ve got the vinegar and essential oils and we start deep cleaning and spritzing on Monday.
You down?
