💪🏼 I DID IT! 💪🏼

I completed a 12 week training & nutrition program!
.
It feels so good to come back to intense workouts I used to do years ago. I feel strong, my mind is clearer, I’m more focused and I eat more and regularly. And most importantly, I’m more loving towards myself ❤️
.
I was still a human during this program. I skipped few workouts and meals, some I needed rest, some pure excuse. I couldn’t do week 12 so I redid it last week. But I completed it.
.
I don’t have a before and after photo because they don’t show you the inner transformation that takes place. I chose to workout not to have a curvy bum but to be healthy, strong and feel connected to my body. Curvy bum happened anyway as a bonus 😂 (Strong glutes actually helps back and knee pain btw, never a bad thing to have good glutes)
.
I learnt again you don’t have to feel motivated to do something. You set your environment for the result you want. Your environment is more important than your motivation. I put my mat out and put my workout outfits out before I went to bed. So when I wake up I see them. Just steps I followed and once I start the video, I’m in and the workout starts 😉
.
I also learnt if I don’t have the 3 basics: sleep, food, workout, no amount of clearing healing work etc will connect me to my body. These are the basic foundation needs of my body and anything else is added on top of that.
.
It’s not about reaching a goal then going back to old ways. It’s about maintaining that level or going even higher. So this week I started again with heavier weights. And right now holding my phone up, my arms hurt 😃
.
The program is Shona Vertue’s Vertue Method. 4 workouts and 1 yoga in a week, once a week walk in nature and loads of recipes ✨ Your diet and workouts are literally taken care of. I highly recommend it 🙏🏼
