Love this!!!

Here's the truth no one wants to say out loud...If you're not lifting, you're losing.

After 40, muscle doesn’t stick around out of loyalty - you’ve got to fight for it.

And not with baby weights and endless cardio.
Pick up the heavy stuff.
Challenge your body.
Claim your strength.

Because when you build muscle, you’re not just reshaping your body -you’re rewriting what’s possible in your 40s, 50s, and beyond. 🔥

Muscle is your metabolism. Your energy. Your confidence.
Stop giving it away. Start getting it back.

💪🏻Don’t give up! Your journey will be filled with ups and downs!

If you feel like giving up, read this:

1. This is a Phase.

Tough times are just a phase.
They don't last forever.
Life is a cycle of highs and lows.

Remember, this too shall pass.
You're in the middle of the storm now, but clear skies are ahead. Hold on.

2. You Are Stronger Than You Think.

Never underestimate your resilience.

- You've survived 100% of your bad days.
- Inside you, there is an inner strength.
- Your potential is greater than any problem.

Remember, you're stronger and more capable than you believe.

3. Small Steps Count.

Progress isn't always a leap forward.

Sometimes it's tiny, almost imperceptible steps.

Each step, no matter how small, brings you closer to your goal.

Celebrate every bit of progress. Slow and steady can still win the race. Keep moving forward.

4. Remember Your 'Why'.

Think back to the reasons why you started.

Reconnect with your motivation and your goals.

5. Failure is a Stepping Stone.

It's okay to fall but it's important to rise again.

Every setback brings learning opportunities.

Remember, every great success story involves overcoming obstacles.

Keep going. Your story is being written.

6. Practice Self-Care.

Self-care is essential, especially during tough times.

- Eat nutritious food
- Exercise regularly
- Get adequate sleep
- Connect with loved ones
- Engage in activities that bring joy.

It’s not selfish, it's survival. Your well-being matters.

7. It's Okay to Ask for Help.

Remember, you're not alone in this journey.

- Reach out to friends, family, or professionals
- Open up about your struggles
- Seek support when you need it

Strength isn't just about enduring in silence. It's also knowing when to ask for help.

Fight for yourself. No matter how difficult it becomes, never let yourself give in.

After some time, your spark will eventually return.

You will come out happier, healthier, and wiser.

We are in this together.

Times have changed, and so have our foods—but not always for the better. Real, whole foods are being replaced with ultra-refined alternatives filled with additives.

Sometimes, simpler is better. Check your labels—or try making it at home! Homemade mayo is easier than you think and so much healthier. 🌱💛
