21. Lessons I've Learned on My Journey to Becoming a Fit Mom

It seems like we look at those who are fitness professionals and share their lives with everyone online regularly, and we think they don’t have any struggles, or that everything just comes easy for them. I know I’ve done that with people I follow, but the truth is, we ALL have our struggles, and we’re not really seeing the ‘whole’ picture on social media. It’s been 13.5 years since I first started my fitness journey, and a LOT has changed in my life since then; I’ve definitely had my fair share of struggles and setbacks! I want to share with you some of the lessons I’ve learned, mistakes I’ve made, and what I wish I would have known along the way. In today’s episode, I’m talking about: -Moving away from that ‘perfection’ mindset -Why we don’t have to overcomplicate health and fitness, and why it can actually be super simple -Learning that being a certain size didn’t equal my happiness -How I’m able to enjoy my fitness journey so much more now If you want to have a healthy body and life, it will take sacrifices, dedication, and consistency. It won’t be easy (you’ll face obstacles just like I did), but it can be simple, and it’s absolutely doable. I’m grateful for my journey, and while there were plenty of times I wanted to give up, I’m so glad I didn’t.
