✨Honest Post✨
This season is looking totally different to how I imagined growing baby 3 would look, and slowly I'm learning to accept it🩷🩷🤍
I'd hoped to train regularly throughout this pregnancy, but my body just hasn't always allowed that, and needed more rest than ever. Something I have had to work so hard on accepting.
We found out the morning of Swansea Sprint Tri, we were expecting this little blessing, I didn't give it my all and placed 10th female, I was so chuffed, and that's where it ended..
First trimester, KICKED MY BUTT🥊 whilst trying to be a Mother to a 4 year old and 2 year old, run a business, work FCP and pick back up homeschooling these munchkins.
Specific training has taken such a backseat, I've moved my body daily (as much because there's no rest with 2 young kids), and I've trained as and when my body allows and doing what feels right. Keeping my body and baby healthy to carry us through this pregnancy, birth and postpartum🤰 and trying to maintain some sort of foundation for my next season.
But it's not been easy, I've beaten myself up for not training, I've missed training daily, every time I..or most likely ..has reminded me of just how much my body is doing, it's okay to rest in this season😴
Accepting new normals through any new chapter of life can be hard, it's okay to admit that, reach out when you need to, find someone to support you, even if it's just to help motivate you to get out for a 10 minute walk🌿
Most of all, celebrate your body wherever you are in your non-pregnancy, prenatal, postpartum or just different chapter🤍
We are capable of so much more than we give credit and moving how feels right for that chapter will always serve us well🤗
Long post over and out✌🏻😘
