Week 3/6 💪😅
How do you keep going when every fiber of your being wants to quit?
Three weeks ago, I set a goal to get strong again. The wake-up call came when I realized I couldn’t easily pick up my 9-year-old anymore. Yes, she’s bigger now… but in my mind, I was stronger too. Apparently, my mind and my muscles hadn’t had a staff meeting lately. 🤦🏽♀️
I want to be around for a long time. I want to travel, garden, chase grandkids someday, and still be able to carry my own groceries without sounding like an old pickup truck trying to start.
So here I am… pushing through weak knees, sore muscles, and the heartbreaking reality that my relationship with Asian food may need some boundaries for a while. 😑🍜
My goal is to drop 5% body fat and build some muscle along the way. Although after four rounds of these exercises, that goal feels both inspiring and highly suspicious. 😅
Progress isn’t always pretty. Some days it’s just showing up and doing the thing anyway.
What’s your biggest motivator when you feel like giving up on something hard?
