Questions for Ada, Ijeoma Umebinyuo

im so fucking determined to get better i swear to god lets do this bitch lets go

Reblog if you are a fitblr who has had to start their journey over more than once

I want to show people who are new to this that it is okay to fail and that doesn’t define you.

This and the biggest “I’m sorry” to my younger self for ever believing any of those people in the first place. I deserved better then and STILL deserve better now ❤️‍🩹

Fuck whoever fucked me up so bad that I convinced myself I’m not even worth anyone’s time

Show up as you are this week. You are enough.🤍

TW: Body image

Honestly, I’m really frustrated with myself right now. It’s been incredibly difficult trying to stay motivated during this fitness journey. I feel really discouraged. My clothes don’t fit me anymore. I really hate what I see whenever I look in the mirror. I’ve been trying to adopt the mentality of loving myself no matter what, but it’s really hard. It doesn’t feel genuine. But, I really want to be able to love myself at all stages of this journey. I’m just not sure how to at this moment.

Tomorrow’s a new day and the start of a new week. I’m really hoping I can get back on track, especially with the semester ending soon. Maybe I’ll have more time then to really just focus on myself and my goals.

Question: How do you stay motivated?

17 May 2021

So, it’s been about 2 weeks since my last post. I haven’t really been consistent with working out or anything. I have finals to thank for that lol...However, the semester is now OVER, which means I now have all summer to start working towards my goals again. 

This morning, I was able to get out of bed and go to the gym, which I’m really happy about. I decided to try out that workout I’ve seen people rave about on tik tok. The 12-3-30. This is a treadmill workout in which you are walking at an incline of 12 at 3 miles per hour for 30 minutes. EXCEPT, I had to modify it to a 10-3-30 (lol). It was still difficult for me, though. I was able to do the whole thing, plus a 5 minute cool down, but, honestly? I think I might be modifying it a bit more in the future (e.g. reducing the incline more, reducing the time, etc). But, as of now, my plan is to try to do this at least 3 to 5 times a week and see what progress I make in a month or so (maybe even in 2 weeks, who knows?).

Other than all of that, I’m feeling okay. I’m still struggling with my body image, but I’m, at least, feeling a little better in comparison to when I last posted on here. That’s gotta count for something, right? :)

And we´re BACK (MIA, burnout, health updates, etc)

Hey yaĺl,

It´s been a while...more than a while actually, but who´s counting?

A lot has happened since my last check in on this blog. There have been many life changes, ranging from good to horrible, that required some (a lot of) adjusting. I´m still adjusting and coming to terms with certain events that transpired, but, you know what? I´m still here. So...we move (no matter how burnt out we are).

Speaking of changes...some of said changes have been health-related, one of which is being diagnosed with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). My symptoms have been especially out of wack these past few weeks, so I decided I need to get back on my ZOOM. What better way to do that than to be active within this lovely community again?

Apart from the PCOS, I really want to work on improving my physical and mental health as a whole. I will be making another post with the specific health goals I am aiming to accomplish this year.

I plan on posting about my daily workouts again and will start including posts about my meals as well.

Additionally, I am looking for more fitness/wellness blogs to follow. So definitely like this post/follow me if that fits your description. I would love to be mutuals and motivate each other. :) Bonus points if you also have PCOS. It would be amazing to have more people with similar goals and similar experiences to bless my timeline. lol

Until Later.
