The picture on the left showed up in my newsfeed and I was 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐞𝐝. I remember thinking “𝘒𝘦𝘪𝘴𝘩, 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶? 𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘥𝘪𝘮𝘮𝘦𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵.”
I had been drowning in life, mourning the pending loss of my father, trying to keep my head above water at my full time Doctor of Physical therapy “Dream job”, and trying to keep my two littles alive. And honestly- it was more than I could even handle at times.
But one day I just made the decision to TAKE CONTROL and I promised myself I would never be the girl on the left again.
The picture on the right is me today. 5 years later and still keeping that promise I made to the girl on the left.
The journey is never perfect. It has consisted of a lot of pizza, tacos, and a few adult beverages. It has consisted of 6 day a week workouts, and not breaking a sweat for weeks at a time. It has consisted of constant MINDSET work to never allow myself to go back into the darkness.
It has nothing to do with perfection. It has EVERYTHING to do with the desire to LEVEL UP my life and not waste any of it living in a state of regret.
