Crushing my goals and setting new ones๐๏ธโโ๏ธ

Honestly, this is the first time in yeeeaaarrss I feel like itโs really worked for me. Not just with weight loss but just being overall good..Iโm genuinely living my best life..feeling happy combined with strong mentally and physically...and continuing to get stronger. It took getting myself and my mind right for everything else to fall into place. When it all comes together, it just works. Balancing life!
I donโt think thereโs really a right answer to the whole thing but listening to yourself and your body. And, as cheesy or cliche as that may sound..itโs true. Obviously, yes, diet is important but think more of it as fuel for your body and less โI canโt have this..I canโt have thatโ. Getting out of that restrictive mindset and finding what works for your body. Finding better options or different recipes or what works for your body type. And living it as a lifestyle..not a quick fix. What works for me might not for you and vise versa. Stop comparing or worrying about what others are doing. Thatโs in all aspects of life, not just fitness and health. It really all starts with yourself...and putting in that work and healing time needed. Itโs not easy. Itโs easy to post the after picture. But the work is not easy. A lot of sweat and tears....blood and bruises too sometimes..like when you trip and fall over a rower machine..yea, I did that๐๐คฆโโ๏ธ๐๐คทโโ๏ธ
One thing that really helped me was throwing out my scale. Actually, the batteries died and I never replaced them๐..so it forced me to not check obsessively..then I threw it away after probably 3 months of it just sitting there. But, focusing on that damn thing messed with me for too long. I did track measurements once a month. Last I weighed myself was beginning of April and I weighed myself for the first time since then this past weekend.
Iโve lost around 20lbs and a total of 15inches. And though the number on the scale isnโt my main focus, it still is reassuring that what Iโm doing is working for me.
Thanks for reading! And whatever youโre going through or working on, stay strong..you got this!๐
