You know when your kids humble you in seconds… yeah, that 😅
The moment my son said I looked like a “beach whale trying to get over the wall”… honestly, at the time I laughed. I thought I could get over it no problem… but reality hit when I was literally rolling over the top making it look like the hardest obstacle course known to man 🐳🙈Even people nearby were like… “she made that look tough” 🤦♀️
Then, just to top it off, my other son casually asked why my belly was “so low”… kids really don’t hold back do they?!
But if I’m being honest, underneath the laughs, it hit me harder than I expected.
Today at work, out on a walk, I wanted to join in with the activities… climb, move, just be free… but I hesitated. Not because I don’t believe I can in my head, I absolutely can but my body just isn’t there right now. And that’s been my real eye-opener this week.
The difference now? I’m not ignoring it.
After that walk, I came home and exercised. And I’m going to keep doing it. Because I want to get over that wall. I want to climb, jump, mess about and actually keep up with my kids not just watch from the side.
I’m 7lbs down this week 🙌Still 4.5 stone to go… but I REALLY want it. And for the first time in a while, that feels powerful.
