Finally got my groove back 💙 #LegDay with @melissarivas___ The past couple of weeks have been difficult to say the least. I couldn’t mentally commit to completing the program to compete in my first NPC competition. I know that logically, I was doing the right thing and if I trusted the process I would succeed. But my emotions took a turn when the weight gain set in, and I spiraled out of control mentally. I’m putting a spotlight on it now, tackling my body image issues one day at a time and learning to love myself instead of pushing myself beyond my limits and beating myself up when I fall short. So for now, I’m back to my “love yourself” training routine 💙 It took a few weeks to get back on track mentally and here I am. I feel amazing today. I’m definitely not 14% body fat right now but I’m not beating myself up for having a box of cookies or a plate of pasta. So for now, I’m continuing my healthy fitness routine but allowing all the cheat days my heart desires. I deserve it. Good food is my love language. Yum 🍝🥖🍪🍔 @getkingdommade @ironuniversity #fitness #fit #fitnessmotivation #loveyourself #health #foodie
