The inner machinations of my mind are an enigma..

Slowly building that upper body back and BETTER. Been focused HEAVILY on correcting my posture, especially on my left side where I have a hard time connecting to the muscles there (lol my right bicep mogs my left)..

It’s been frustrating to say the least, but someone’s gotta do it 🤷🏻‍♀️

..because the gym is about more than just working out.

Life is notorious for having 💩 hit the fan. How are you going to react?

- You have the perfect lift planned out, but the machines/equipment you need are taken. 
You adapt.
- You usually lift in the AM, but your schedule got thrown around and now you have to lift in the PM. 
You adapt.
- ETC ETC ETC

Don’t let it overwhelm you. Instead, work around it. Maybe you’ll learn something new and add it to your repertoire :)

You don’t need to focus on ALLLLL the steps ahead of you. Just the first little baby one. Go from there.

Doesn’t have to be the PERFECT lift, meal plan, time, etc. 

Just do SOMETHING because even the smallest actions add to something greater.

Need I say more? (Yes)

You have to be the one to hold your own hand and say “We’re doing this today because it’s what’s BEST for us.”

9/10, the days I force myself to go workout when I feel like 💩, I don’t feel like 💩 anymore. It’s like magic. 

Everybody is a critic, including yourself.

Doesn’t mean you have to listen to them nor pay any mind to what they’re saying/doing (with smart judgment pls)

It’s YOUR personal journey, YOUR life, and YOUR deathbed you’ll be laying on. Screw what others think.

What do you think of yourself? That’s what matters. 

LOL. This is the one I’m having the hardest time grasping.

We give our bodies time to rest from the brutal lifts we put them through, but won’t give those SAME BODIES grace when we put them through the stress of life? Wack.

Be kind to yourself and listen to your body, PLEASE (coming from someone who’s learning this the hard way). We don’t need to ALWAYS be on go.

Just like day and night need one another to exist, so do rest and work/activity.

“All work no play makes Jack a dull boy.”

Didn’t track my macros..

Just fueled my energy with good eats instead (a looooot of good eats not pictured) 🍕🍪🍔🌮🍣🍦

Because not everything needs to be accounted for 24/7..

Hit one solid leg day (for funsies and mental health, gym time is sacred time).

Prioritized spending time with my sister, niece, and mom because girl time is greater than anything in the world.

Had my check up with the doctor (gotta take care of ourselves)
