DONT GIVE UP (gym motivation)

2024/6/24 Edited to

... Read moreOver the past two years, I embarked on an incredible transformation that reshaped not only my body but also my mindset. Beginning at a mere 130lbs in June 2022, I committed to a consistent gym routine and proper nutrition. Fast forward to June 2024, I've reached 175lbs, enjoying the strength gains that come with dedication. During this journey, maintaining motivation was crucial. Surrounding myself with a supportive community on social media platforms and engaging in fitness challenges fueled my determination. Following inspirational figures from the #gymmotivation and #gainsinprogress communities helped remind me that perseverance pays off. Incorporating various training methods, such as strength training and flexibility work, kept my routine fresh and exciting. Remember, it’s not just about lifting heavier weights, but also about developing a healthy lifestyle. Consistency, patience, and believing in oneself are key components to achieving fitness goals. If I can do it, so can you!

I used to get so uncomfortable with this. Every sphere God put me in, whether gym, skateboarding, photo + fashion industry (God allowed me to do them all) I was always the one that stuck out. Not like a sore thumb, but the one that God separated. I never understood why, but as the years have go

TODAY I CRIED AT THE GYM
Today I cried at the gym, wiped my face, then went and lifted 💪🏾. Everyone thinks healing is this linear, fairytale, perfect journey and I am here to tell you it is NOT! I still cry, I still get scared, I still second guess myself, I still get lonely. But you know what I’ve stopped doing? Hiding it

My toxic gym motivation (trigger warning ⚠️)
This is not a good way to keep motivated to go to the gym. But it can be helpful when I am really in a slump and need a wake up call. #gym #gymmotivaton #summerbod #bodytransformation #unfiltered
