This week has been difficult and I've been somewhat at war with myself. Throughout my entire weight loss journey I've known how important it is to be friends with yourself and with your body, no matter how hard it is when it might not decide to do what you're striving so hard for. I failed at my lifting workout this week and I let it bother me well past the day that it happened. Today I had to really push myself to get out of the door (especially in the weather) but it was absolutely magical. My legs had this none stop attitude and they wanted to go further and further. My lungs regulated their breathing much better and faster than they ever have before and nothing was in my way, not even my negativity. Today felt like my body was reinforcing how capable it is to my brain (yall might think I'm nuts) but we all know how often we need to push ourselves. But you see this run wasn't a case of pushing myself, I could have run further, for longer and then I realised how capable I was and how this run had been made for my body to show me I can still get up and be fantastic even if I've been knocked down for the hundredth time. Try then fail, try then fail, then one day you will begin to win and even if you fail, inside you're still a winner. Never give up on yourself, from 210lbs to whatever the hell I am now and to achieve this on a day where I thought it was going to be impossible? If I can, anyone can. #runner #inspiration #fitfam #longdistance #fitness #health #progress #mentalhealth #recovery #love #exercise #workout #runketo #lowcarb #lowcarbrunner #73lbsdown #weightloss #running #motivation
