When I Think I’m Not Making Progress… I Look at Her 🥹

Some days it’s really hard to see your own progress when you’re looking at yourself every single day.

I’ll have days where I feel bloated, the scale isn’t doing what I want it to do, or I look in the mirror and wonder if anything is actually changing.

And then I see a picture like this. 🥹

The girl on the right is still me. She was happy. She went to Red Sox games. She had fun. There was never anything wrong with her.

But she wanted to feel stronger. She wanted to feel more confident. She wanted to take better care of herself and finally stop putting herself last.

So when I get impatient with the progress I’m making now, I remember her.

I remember how far WE have already come.

I’m not doing this because I hated the girl I used to be.

I’m doing it because I love her enough to keep showing up for us. 🤍

And I think she’d be pretty damn proud of me right now. 🥹⚾️❤️

progress not perfection ✨

when we try to strive for perfection, we lose sight of the progress we’ve made and the fact that we are actually pretty dope with our imperfect selves. 😉 although i’ve learned a lot about myself and have come a long way when it comes to my mental health, i still get caught up in the cycle of pe

Progress doesn’t always look loud. 🤍

Sometimes it looks like praying and still showing up. Sometimes it looks like healing quietly. Sometimes it looks like choosing peace over chaos. Sometimes it looks like trying again when nobody knows how hard it was. You may feel behind… but you’re becoming. Every lesson. Every s

HOW I’M MAKING PROGRESS WITHOUT OVERLOADING

Yep you heard that right. It’s been roughly 2 years since I’ve tried to consistently progressive overload. Something I’ve realized over the past few years is how much progressive overload has become a “buzz word”…it’s not that it doesn’t work, because it does. However, when your goal is to r

Not all great progress ends in crazy weight loss

This got a lot of hate when I first posted it one of my groups because my progress pic doesn’t end with weight loss… now reposting a year later, it didn’t end at all. When I first posted this a year ago, I posted because I was proud of my bulk, even when I was soo scared of gaining weight.

Progress over Perfection Queen🌸

I almost didn’t go to the gym the other day. I had 35 minutes before they closed. No full workout. No perfect plan. And for a second, I thought… what’s the point? But here’s the thing I’m taking into 2026: Less excuses. More action — even when it’s messy. The more action I take, the less a
