A few years ago, I climbed Falkland Hill with my son and his dogs⦠and honestly, I struggled...
I was out of breath, 4 stone heavier, and those huskies practically pulled me to the top! πΊπ¨
Fast forward a few yearsβ¦ I stood on the summit of Ben Nevis. ποΈ
At the time, I didnβt really stop to think about what I had achieved. But on the way home, my son said something that stayed with me forever:
βWell done Mum. I remember when we did Falkland Hill and you struggledβ¦ now youβve just climbed Ben Nevis.β
A few months later, he climbed Ben Nevis himself β and he told me what kept him going was knowing that his mum had done it first. β€οΈ
Thatβs the thing about your journeyβ¦
Your kids are watching.
Your family is watching.
And without even realising it, youβre inspiring people around you...πͺπ
Fitness doesnβt happen overnight.
Thereβs no quick fix, no magic solution.
Itβs about consistency, showing up for yourself, and continuing even when it feels hard.
Small steps turn into big achievements...π€
One walk becomes a hill.
One hill becomes a mountain.
So if youβre at the beginning of your journey and feeling discouraged β keep going. Progress takes time, but it WILL come. πͺ
