Today I'm greatful beeing me! Why? Because despite all the negativ aspects of my life choises and the consequenses around them, I feel blessed that I have found myself. I started to follow a man from the other side of the world, that had resonable thoughts around fitness and health in April last year. I had begun going to the gym already in February but didn't know how to do a proper work out. And I didn't have the resources to get a PT. But with my new job I knew that I had to get stronger. This guy, he asked me why I had pressed the follow button on IG. Oh wow, he held me responsible for my choice.. We chatted for mayby 15-20 mins. I was at the gym and at that moment I felt more alive then I had for a long time! New job, new beginning with the training, someone saw me! ME!! Days later I got the BBB programs, and I followed it for 5 months before my joints and my muscles were too sore to continue lifting weights and I needed to prioritise work. In december I missed all the training, comming home after work just sitting in the sofa, or recliner .. the sorness didn't give up. All bloodtest were good but I felt restless. I wanted to continue the fitness journey. Then I found this community and this was it! The guy that had planted something solid im my mind was there again, holding me responsible - for myself. It wasn't acually about weight or food or looking fit. (That comes second, at least for me) No. It was about what I owe to myself! What picture I want to show of myself to my family. I stumble, I'm processing and progressing. But step by step I will get better on doing whatever it takes to be me. Thanks @Darren Liu for beeing.. you! Todays walk - 5983 steps, and 4,75 km

Today’s vibe is my brain 🧠 anxiously wanting to hit noon Hybrid HIIT… …and my body saying nooooope. So I’m choosing grace over grind today. No fighting my body. No guilt. Plan is Disneyland 🎢 + steps instead—movement still counts. I haven’t really taken a true “rest day” lately, so today is my chill pill moment. HIIT Hybrid is already booked for tomorrow (60 minutes 😅), so trust me—there will be sweat, sparkle, and probably some fat crying then. Back recovery is slightly better, which I’m grateful for 🙏 I’m also low-key anxious (in a good way) for Monday because I get to see my awesome chiropractor. Not just for the adjustment—but because we genuinely vibe. Every visit turns into chats about fitness, nutrition, recovery, and life. I share nutrition tips, she loves it, and over time we’ve built such a real connection that she trusted me with her personal number—with a clear “only you” boundary that I absolutely respect. That alone made me feel valued, not special in an ego way—but in a human connection way. Morning started off helping my partner make protein pancakes because he saw them on IG 👀🥞 I weighed and measured the ingredients…asked him to make me some scrambled egg 🍳 with eggwhites then handed him the throne of the kitchen and stepped aside 😝 Just sharing this as a reminder that fitness isn’t always about workouts. Sometimes it’s listening to your body. Sometimes it’s recovery. Sometimes it’s connection. Sometimes it’s stepping back so you can move forward stronger. 💬 What’s your Friday vibe today?
