Sunday Wins: The Confidence Rep I Didn’t Know I Was Training For ✨

🔥

Today’s win wasn’t only about the workout.

It was walking into 24 Hour Fitness wearing my sports bra and leggings with confidence.

I’ve shared before that I was slowly getting more comfortable doing this at my sister’s gym, but that gym is different. Sometimes there’s only one person there or barely anyone around.

But 24 Hour Fitness? That’s a whole different energy. Tons of people. Mirrors everywhere. Regular gym goers. That old shy version of me would have wanted to cover up, hide, or overthink every angle.

But today I walked in differently. Then I bumped into one of the regular gym goers. I greeted her in Vietnamese, and she looked at me for a second and said, “I didn’t recognize you at first. You look different… more lean. Looking good.”

I instantly got shy. 😂 But coming from a Vietnamese person, that compliment hit different because we don’t sugarcoat. So when the compliment comes, you know it’s real.

It reminded me that confidence is also a muscle.

Every time we show up when we’re uncomfortable, we’re doing confidence reps. Every time we stop hiding, we’re doing confidence reps. Every time we allow ourselves to be seen before we feel “perfect,” we’re doing confidence reps.

I don’t have the physique I want yet, but I’m learning to love the body I’ve been working hard for right now.

Today I realized the gym didn’t change.

I did. 💪✨
