Never Finished

Five years ago, I was at the pinnacle of my fitness journey; filled with energy, vitality, and excitement as I embarked on my third pregnancy. The past five years, however, have introduced me to a whirlwind of change—a pandemic reshaped how we live, a new job redefined my routine, and surgery added layers of complexity to my health. Weight fluctuations have tested my resilience, a reminder of the unpredictability of life.

It's natural to look back and long for that former version of myself. But I’m taking a moment to acknowledge the evolution I've undergone. I’m are not that person anymore, and that's okay. Growth comes from embracing changes, even when it feels challenging. Priorities have naturally shifted: enjoying a glass of wine or bourbon after a long day or savoring meals out with friends has its own beauty and joy.

Realizing that the roadblocks to my goals often stem from within is a tough yet necessary lesson. It encourages me to reassess aspirations and perhaps redefine what "fitness" means to me now. The journey isn't about reclaiming the past; it's about celebrating how I’ve changed and discovering new paths forward.

This process is an invitation to learn about me. I’m not finished; I’m evolving. New goals have surfaced, and my perspective has expanded. Each day is an opportunity to take a step towards a better version of me, and that's a powerful realization.

I’m embracing the journey with all its twists and turns. This is where the true magic happens—appreciating who I am today while striving for who I want to be tomorrow. I’ve got this!
