Iโve been an active person since I learned to walk โ climbing trees, jumping fences, playing sports, lifting weights. Movement has always been part of who I am.
But from around 2018 until this past yearโฆ I lost myself.
Depression, finishing nursing school, losses, battles โ life hit hard. I fell out of fitness and into bad habits, chasing โcomfortโ in food; I became heavier than I had ever been, uncomfortable in my clothes, and disconnected from the woman I knew I was meant to be.
Last November, our team at
@usmobileiv had professional photos taken. Seeing myself through that lens was a wake-up call I couldnโt ignore. I realized no one was coming to save me โ if I wanted change, to feel better mentally and physically, I had to choose it. I had to choose myself.
So I got my ass in gear. Right on time,
@goldsgymthornton opened, and I fell back in love with lifting, discipline, and showing up for myself. One year later, I feel beautiful, strong, confident, and badass again.
This isnโt just a physical transformation โ itโs proof that you can rebuild yourself at any point and come back stronger than before. I canโt wait to see what this next year brings. ๐ช๐ปโจ๐๐ผโโ๏ธ
