From-winded-to-wellness - A Winning Loser

Just keep going. You will figure it out.💙

18 May 2022- Another Life Update (This time a happy one)

Well, I did it ya’ll. I have, officially, graduated.

These past couple of years have been rough, but I’m really proud of myself. Grad school is already hard on its own. Grad school with a pandemic AND a bunch of negative things happening in your personal life? Don’t get me started...

Anyway, I’m (cautiously) looking forward to what my future holds. So far, I’ve been able to cross off a few things from the vision board I made on New Year’s Eve. I’m determined to cross off more soon.

Also, with school out of the way, I think this is the perfect time to get back on track with my health and fitness goals. I haven’t stepped foot inside a gym in MONTHS. I’m actually looking forward to restarting tomorrow.

I know I’ve done this several times already. I used to feel embarrassed every time I would post about having another setback on here. But, you know what? I’ll restart 100 times if that’s what it takes to get to where I want. 

So, here we go again :)

Your boundary doesn‘t need an apology.

May the last four months of 2023 be the change you’ve been waiting for

Honestly, I’m really frustrated with myself right now. It’s been incredibly difficult trying to stay motivated during this fitness journey. I feel really discouraged. My clothes don’t fit me anymore. I really hate what I see whenever I look in the mirror. I’ve been trying to adopt the mentality of loving myself no matter what, but it’s really hard. It doesn’t feel genuine. But, I really want to be able to love myself at all stages of this journey. I’m just not sure how to at this moment.

Tomorrow’s a new day and the start of a new week. I’m really hoping I can get back on track, especially with the semester ending soon. Maybe I’ll have more time then to really just focus on myself and my goals.

Question: How do you stay motivated?
