This week has definitely thrown a few curveballs… and I know I’m not the only one feeling it — especially here in Fermanagh.
My car slid backwards down a hill, I got out to try and get help, slipped on the ice and ended up with whiplash and a few sore bits to go with it. Not exactly how I planned to start the year 😅
But here’s the thing.
This year, I want it to be another really good year for me — for my health, my weight loss, and my mindset. I want to do the very best I can in every sense. And moments like this? They’re exactly when our minds try to convince us to give up — even if it’s “just for a few days”.
I’m not doing that.
I’ve been reminding myself that doing your best doesn’t always look the same. Some days it’s a big workout. Some days it’s just getting out for a gentle walk. And when the roads are a sheet of black ice and walking or driving just isn’t safe? You adapt.
So today I dusted off the Peloton — which has been badly neglected the past few months — and honestly, it felt great. Legs moving. Heart pumping. Mood lifted.
Anyone who knows me (or my coach Mike 😂) knows how much I claim to dislike cardio… but I’d forgotten how much I actually enjoy it once I start. And the truth is, cardio is something I need to focus on — alongside stretching and recovery.
This is your reminder:
You don’t need perfect conditions.
You don’t need to go all-out.
You just need to keep showing up in whatever way you can today.
Rest when you need to.
Adapt when you have to.
But don’t give up on yourself.
We keep going 🤍
