Starting my Fitness Journey (again)

So my husband and I decided that we would start the gym today.. & we did!💪🏽

Honestly, I’ve been making EVERY excuse to NOT go so this was a huge step for me. Tomorrow I’ve decided to start ✨ 75 SOFT ✨ while doing low carb/keto.

Now I’ve done keto before and lost 40 pounds so I’m excited to start again and commit to the process. I’ve decided to post my FULL body pics and live in my truth of where I’m at physically. 🥹

Anyone else starting or on a fitness/weight loss journey? I’d love to connect and support each other! 💖

Starting a fitness journey can be both exciting and daunting. It often requires not just physical changes but mental shifts as well. For those considering low carb or keto diets, research shows they can be effective for weight loss and energy management. The 75 Soft Challenge emphasizes a balanced approach to fitness, allowing participants to adapt it to their own pace. Additionally, embracing vulnerability by sharing your journey can foster community support. Engaging with others on platforms like Lemon8 can provide motivation and accountability. Remember, every step taken towards your health goals is a step in the right direction. Share your experiences and tips to inspire others on their journeys. 💖
