You can’t out recover an under-nourished & over-worked body & mind **especially if your recovery day includes a ‘recovery’ run 😅😂 it’s okay, I’ve been there too 😘
At the end of 2024, I realised I had to stop postponing the dreaded WEIGHT GAIN!!! If I wanted to rid myself of my health issues & prioritise being able to have a baby in the future.
I was doing EVERYTHING else (supps, sleep, elimination diet), following expert advice… except the weight gain - when I did & put on 6-8kg in 4 months? My period returned & gut issues eased. Dammit 😅
When I was in my early 20’s, I told myself I didn’t need to worry about my period irregularity or gut issues. I’d instead tell myself:
“It will just fix itself.”
“It’ll happen when the timing is right”
“I’m sure it’ll be fine”
“I’ll prioritise it later”
“It’s actually convenient”
“I’ll do this diet/protocol”
“It’s just a condition I’ll always have”
The problem with this mindset, is that like all health goals -> things don’t workout by the themselves & it limits my potential.
You want to run a marathon? You need consistency, support & a plan.
You want to reach a new deadlift personal best? You need a consistency, support & a plan.
You want to achieve a body transformation? You need consistency, support & a plan.
You want to improve your relationship with your body, food & exercise? You need consistency, support & a plan.
You want to have your fitness work for your fertility, not against it? You need consistency, support, & a plan.
They’ll never be a ‘right’ time.
Annoyingly you won’t wake up one day & everything will be ‘fixed’.
The problem to getting out of comfort zones is that it’s hard, scary & uncomfortable.
The alternative however, is that your problems continue, worsen & you go around, around & around in circles - never getting to where you want to be & deep down know you can be.
If I can do it, you can do it.
If you’re a woman wanting to train & focus on the strength she’s gaining, not calories burned, to enjoy eating without being bloated or feeling guilt ridden, to run for fun not out of fear..
