✨Ｓｉｄｅ - ｂｙ - ｓｉｄｅ - Ｓｕｎｄａｙ✨ • I know I’ve posted a side by side recently - but I didn’t include my weight... • I’m posting this as a personal reminder to you all - to keep going! And to not be defined by the scales ⚖️ • I was having a moment last week where I was feeling a bit 💩in myself and that I wasn’t making any progress with my weight or physique... • I haven’t weighed myself in soooo long and decided to jump on the scales last week - only to see that in the past 2 years I’ve put on 11lbs & not 𝒍𝒐𝒔𝒕 weight... And I was like... 😟 saying to myself ‘I don’t understand - I eat well majority of the time and workout (yes COVID didn’t help 🙄) but I didn’t expect to see a gain, and then I was reminded that the scales are just a way of collecting data of how much you weigh at that time - it 𝒅𝒐��𝒔 𝒏𝒐𝒕 tell the full picture and that despite my ‘feeling shitty’ my body composition is changing and my hard work is paying off - 𝒔𝒍𝒐𝒘𝒍𝒚... • In short, what I’m saying is, if weight loss/fat loss is your goal, don’t get pyschologically attached to 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 number on the scale! Take measurements, take pictures & assess how your feeling as a way of measuring your progress. For years so many of us have been obsessing with the number on the scale - but are overall health is so much more than that number you see staring back at you 🤗 • So don’t quit! & don’t give up on yourself. • #selfreflection #selfreflections #sidebyside #scales #measurements #bodycomposition #liftingweights #weightlifterpowelifter #pt #personaltrainer #fitness #fitpro #fitnessjourney #fitnessmotivation #yougotthis #wegotthis (at Nottingham, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPyQOz_lKAT/?utm_medium=tumblr

✨ ｙｏｕ ＧＲＯＷ ｔｈｒｏｕｇｈ Ｗｈａｔ ｙｏｕ ＧＯ ｔｈｒｏｕｇｈ✨ • Did you realise that thing you dreaded the most, or shyed away from, or tried to talk yourself out of, was the making of you? Or made you feel stronger? More confident? More ready to take on what you thought was impossible? • I’m repetitive in what I say - I know. But it’s because I know that you are stronger than you realise. At some point in your life, you would have been through some s*** that hurts, be it physical or mental, but yet your still here. Your still standing. And why? Because in some way, your have grown through that thing, whatever it may be, that you went through and I guarantee your stronger for it...you just haven’t taken the time to reflect on your growth, or appreciate 𝒚𝒐𝒖 for it... • Take the time to reflect ✨ • #growthmindset #growth #headspace #supporteachother #saturdayvibes #saturdayfeels #weekendmood #mood #wisewordsoftheday #igotyou #mentalhealthmatters #doyou #yourstongerthanyouthink (at Kent, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/COC9INKld75/?igshid=131dnaqxuszwj

✨ Ｉｆ ｙｏｕ ｃａｎｔ ｂｅａｔ ｔｈｅ ｆｅａｒ, ｊｕｓｔ ｄｏ ｉｔ ｓｃａｒｅｄ! ✨ : : : When I heard @willsmith say this recently! Gah!! This hit me something different! So many times, I’ve delivered something, prepared something, performed something, presented something etc where I’ve thought to myself - ‘I don’t know what the hell I’m doing! ‘Why am I doing this?!’ : : : 4 years ago, I did a skydive to celebrate my birthday. I’m not afraid of heights, but the thought of falling 120mph for who knows how long (felt like hours 😂 plus I was filling for air like a fish 🤦🏿‍♀️🙈) with a dude on your back who you don’t know from Adam! who your essentially entrusting your life with! Is a tad scary! And maybe a little cray! 🤣 but my point being that - if it doesn’t scare you a little bit - it doesn’t mean that much to you - and if it scares you so much that you don’t do it - you’ll do yourself a 𝙼𝙰𝚂𝚂𝙸𝚅𝙴 injustice - because once you’ve gone through or completed that thing that scared you s****less - you’ll come out stronger.

✨𝔻𝕠 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕥𝕒𝕜𝕖 𝕥𝕙𝕖 𝕥𝕚𝕟𝕖 𝕥𝕠 𝕣𝕖𝕗𝕝𝕖𝕔𝕥?✨ : : : I’ve got to be honest and say last week wasn’t the best week for me mentally. Although the first wave of restrictions ease in the UK this week, my mood last week was low and I was in such a funk. And when feeling so low, I tend to question and doubt myself a lot... : : : Every day is a new day however - and I’m determined to have a better week this week! I took some time last night to reflect and really think about how far I’ve come. Why is it so easy to focus on the negative - or what is still yet to be achieved? And at the same time, forget all or most of what has been achieved already? : : : Reflection is so key. It can help to keep you grounded. It can remind you why you do what you do. It can teach you a lot about yourself and it can guide you on where to go next... : : : Do you take the time to reflect? : : : #reflection #reflections #selfreflection #selfreflections #mondaymood #mondaymoods #mondaymoodboard #mondaymotivations #newweek #newweekahead #newweekvibes #mondaythoughts💭 (at Sheffield, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CM_qW_ZlOGn/?igshid=hdvdsqy0728e
