Small victories 💓

Response are okay!! You are more than welcome to read if you can make it through!😬

Today one of my friends and I sent thrift shopping, something I haven't done in what feels like a lifetime and I love it. We were browsing in the tee shirt aisle. Mind you I'm very much a old soul I just love about any music from the 60s to the 90s so forth, I came across one of my favorite bands, the Eagles so of course I just had to take it home and one of my favorite songs by them is Hotel California!! I was filled with so much happiness but I saw that it's a medium and I got kind of scared. But I went for it because you just never know, on our way back I was filled with so much anticipation and fear, I tried the shirt on...

You know what?? I fit a medium sized tee shirt that's a big deal I hadn't been able to do that in a long time!🥹 Given different brands vary about their sizing, I don't think the shirt was worn it looked brand new but it wasn't, it was very well kept in great condition, maybe worn once or a couple. I now fit in medium pants, 18 and medium shirts, wow! 😄

It wasn't a bad day I'm pretty damn sore though because I want my body back in shape and to shave off the loose skin, but I have certain intentions when getting fit. I want to dive into my fitness with a understanding that building a healthy relationship with my body requires lots of patience, understanding, boundaries, control, love, support, care, and that good isn't a bad thing.

I want to dive into this with a healthy mindset, I want to be healthy mentally and physically they go hand in hand. 💞 It's so easy to get caught up in everyone else's fitness journey you lose sight of your own and then you hurt yourself.

Someone I admire on here said in one of my forums we are all different shapes and sizes, something like that! I'm sticking with that my fittness journey will never be the same as others it's unique like everyone else's and that's a good healthy thing. ☺️ It's harder than what it seems to be, if there is a will there is a way what's a challenge if it's easy right?

I have no clue what this journey will look like but I'm finally ready to find out, I will be brave, I will be strong, I will not opt out, I will be there for myself, because it all starts with me. Others can give me the momentum and courage but I have to be the one to start it, it'll be rough, rocky, and challenging but of God didn't think I could handle any of this than he wouldn't be putting me in these situations! I'm excited for this journey ahead of me!🤭 If this is a way I can put myself first and love myself than I will not stop and I will explore through this journey and love every step of it!💓
