Four years later… and I’m back outside 🏃🏽‍♀️
The last time I was consistent with outdoor runs was in during my NYSC in 2021. Life happened, routines changed, but the love for running never really left.
2 days ago reminded me why I missed it so much; the fresh air, the mental clarity, the feeling after 🥹
I’m definitely rusty but this is me adding runs back into my routine (hopefully I stay consistent 🤞🏾)
When was the last time you did an outdoor run? 🏃🏾‍♀️

A parental perspective to Fitness
Do you agree?
Yes 👍🏾
No👎🏾
Whatever 🙄

Postpartum is not just about your body; it’s a mental, emotional, and spiritual battle nobody prepares you for.

There were days I felt lost. Days I didn’t recognise the woman in the mirror. Days I questioned everything.
Then I started showing up gradually 🏋🏾‍♀️
Even when it was hard. Even when I didn’t feel ready.

I’m not just a mum, but a strong, disciplined, resilient woman.

I don’t know who needs this. It’s is your reminder that no matter how far gone you feel… you are still HER.
And you can rise again. 💪🏾

Have you ever chased a toddler full of energy?
Gather here let’s rant 😩

Do you think that just because I go to the gym, I always feel amazing? 🤣 Typical illustration of me some mornings👆🏽. The soreness I felt the first few weeks I started gyming was terrible; I almost gave up on my weight loss journey 😩
If you’re feeling body aches or soreness, just know it’s part of the journey. With time, your body adapts. Even the pros get sore, so keep showing up, keep moving, and trust the process 💪🏽

Closing the month the same way I started:
Showing up 💪🏽🏋🏾‍♀️
Last Saturday reflection: Progress doesn’t come from motivation alone, it comes from showing up even when the month has worn you down.
👆🏽Harnessing my inner model energy 🔥 🤣

Salads are one of my best weight loss tips to keep my calories in check throughout the day.
For over 10 years, l've been consciously adding salad to my meals.
How often do you have salads?
What's your favorite salad combo?
