Change Takes Time

So I've hit the gym tonight. Cross training, short break, then aqua aerobics. I'm going to be making this a priority so that my body is not just running all the time, and so reduce the risk of overuse injury. Physically, I'm having a good evening. I was really tired before coming out but it's something I really wanted to do. Now that I'm here, I'm really energised. I need to bank that for future motivation.

Mentally and emotionally I'm finding the evening challenging. There are a lot of mirrors at the gym. I don't think gyms are designed by women with post baby bodies, but that's just a hunch 🤷‍♀️ I'm not particularly vain, but seeing the reality of my silhouette, as opposed to the athlete that lives somewhere inside me, there's a long way to go! But change takes time, and I'm only on day 3 of about 170 of training.

Small, sustained change will see me staying on track. And mentally, every training session I push through, instead of laying on the sofa of an evening, is an extra bit of mental strength I can harness on the day.

Definitely looking forward to getting in my PJs after aqua though. And walking home. (Oh yes I am 🤣). *cough* Chav 🙈
